SVRTechnology 3" Dual Exhaust Review & Pics!!!!!
First off, I would like to send a big thank you to Scott from SVRTech from driving all the way down from Portland Oregon to San Diego to help me install this exhaust. Here’s the review…
BACKGROUND:
This exhaust is the first production 3” manifold back dual exhaust from SVRTechnology! It replaced my Injen SES Dual exhaust. The SVRTech exhaust is full stainless and runs from the manifold all the way back eliminating the need for separate test pipes or cats. It also has 4 o2 sensor bungs already welded on it!
INSTALLATION:
The first thing I noticed when we started pulling the pieces of the exhaust out of Scott’s car was the incredible quality and craftsmanship. The welds were perfect and the finish was beautiful. The old exhaust came off in a hurry and piece by piece, the SVRTech exhaust went on. First was the pipes that connect to the manifold. These went on pretty easily, except for one bolt. The top bolt on the driver’s side was a pain. If you had the right size and shape tool it would be a snap, but we only had a few choices to work with. After a little while we finally got a wrench on there and were able to tighten it up. The rest of the exhaust went on with ease and since there is a lot of adjustment engineered into the exhaust, the fitment was 100%.
THE SOUND:
I am completely in love with the tone that this exhaust puts out. It has kind of an exotic metallic tone to it. It is also the deepest tone I have heard on the Z yet, but it doesn’t drone when driving down the highway. Now since my car has no interior or sound deadening my review on the sound from inside the car doesn’t really apply to most 350Z owners lol, but in my car it is very loud (obviously). Hopefully Scott from SVRTechnology can chime in here and give his opinion since his car still has its interior.
THE PERFORMANCE:
This exhaust made a HUGE difference on my car and it hasn’t even been tuned yet. My JWT turbos spool a lot faster and the car is very very noticeably faster. I didn’t get on it too much since the car isn’t tuned with the new exhaust yet, but when I did, I actually startled myself lol. I can’t wait to get the dyno numbers back!
THE LOOKS:
I love the way it looks. When you get it up on a lift and take a look at it the full polished stainless finish looks awesome with those monster 3” tubes. From the ground you can really only see the back section and I love the way that looks as well. The tips are also adjustable and have a 10 degree angle cut on them so you can play with how you want them to sit.
THE PROS:
I absolutely love the quality and thought put into this system. The adjustability is also one of my favorite points as it made the install a lot easier.
THE CONS:
I did have an exhaust tip fall off on the way from Huntington Beach to the Performance Nissan Meet, but Scott said he is going to make some changes to hold the tips in better. I just think we forgot to tighten that one lol. Being that this is the first production exhaust from him, I think he has done an amazing job of working out any and all potential problems.
Here are a few pictures from the back (minus one exhaust tip lol)…
More pictures will be posted as soon as Scott gets them to me and dyno sheets will be here at the end of the week.

hey mike. ya, that exhaust tip was a bummer, luckily i had the extra exaust with me and had an extra tip for ya once i made it to the meet. i really feel since it was 2am when we got to that point, and i had spent roughly 10-12 hours driving just that day, that it must have just gotten over looked, ooops, lol.
still going to make the set screw and nut larger, but i think it just got over looked and wasn't a prob with the design.
going to load those pics now and check the quality. thanks mike.

these are as good as i could get the pics mike. it is almost impossible to take pics of shiny stuff with just some lights. it makes the cam think it is looking at the sun with the reflection and brings exposure time down. maybe VRT could get some better ones this week during the day with some good ambient light.
yes i was glad to hear most peoples reaction to the exhaust sound was "it sounds like a european V-8". it has that metallic sharpness yet deep in tone. like the lambo and ferarri's.

The price for the 3" system will be $1,675.00. SVRTech is also going to start making the same system in 2.5" for the N/A or low boost crowd! They also have wastegate dumps for the Greddy TT kits as well as solid motor mounts!
More pictures are still on the way and I will shoot a sound clip this coming weekend and try and find a way to post it since my computer is broken.
If you want some info on any of their products you can call Scott from SVRTechnologies at (503) 504-1037 or visit their website (which is under construction) at www.SVRTechnologies.com

Oh boy....after looking at these pics, it doesn't look like this exhaust will bolt up to my new APS 3.5" testpipes 
I really wanted this exhaust too.
Scott, is there a way to order this with two-bolt flanges that bolt up to the stock cat exits, to mate up with my APS pipes??

Actually, I am giving them away to whoever buys the exhaust. The test pipes I'm talking about not fitting with the SVR exhaust are my brand new, haven't arrived yet APS 3.5" bad boys.
