You can't have test pipes with the cats....either testpipes or cats.

If you want test pipes (no cats) deffinatly get labree test pipes, best made for the Z. If you want high flow cats get random technology, they have the highest flowing cats available (or so I hear.) Don't know if they would pass emissions though.

Crawford HFC are pretty good just some issues with the nismo. Go with Labree they're one of the best resonated test pipes in the Z market. APS units are high quality as well but they're not resonated like the ones you are looking for.

I'm running Random Tech Ceramic Cats with HKS and like it allot, sounds real nice and provided decent gains. Random had problems with their metallic cats so stay away from those unless you are getting a good tune. The Ceramics have been trouble free as far as I know.

Some pics of the set-up here:

don't waste your money on Random Tech Cat. Piece of shiet. I sold it and use STRUP testpipe with HKS exhaust now. Much better.

I just bought Kinetix Resonated Test Pipes and will have my work completed by Thursday of this week. I will let you know my impressions when I get it completed.

I have HKS exhaust and Crawford Plenum as well.
