any weight savings vs stock? and how much?

do you have any vid clips on the sound of the nismo vs the helix? I had a nismo exhuast before my accident in my G35 and i was planning on getting another nismo one but i kinda forgot how it sounded.

What size collector would be needed for a y-pipe? 2.5" or 3"?

according to this thread, target price is $595, which seems about right since it only mid pipe and muffler

What really makes one exhaust so different from the next.. Why not bend your own?

I am not sure how it would be the "most expensive 9hp" since its priced much better than the Fujitsubo and Nismo. Also, I don't think those gains are as good as the Helix.

As for the Y-Pipe...the exhaust was tested on a stock 05 with no other modification than the Helix ehaust therefore it will bolt up to a stock y-pipe.

The sound is deeper and not overly loud.

Thanks,
Tom
