z tube is the oem intake tube on the Z...you know the pipe that goes from the throttle body to the intake box.

a test pipe is a replacement pipe to where your cats go... usually straight through pipes...sometimes resonated

any other questions you non-search button using newb?(hahah )

 

if you have a Z, you already have the Z tube. If you don't have the Z, I'll sell you my Z tube

 

yea i definately already have a z, so test pipe add what hp/performance wise ?

 

*sigh*.....some say yes, some say no...it depends...maybe like a 3rwhp gain max i think...to say the least they make more nois the hp

now if youre turbo or s/c thats a different story

 

i dont plan on going turbo or s/c so would it be a waste of money?

what is the difference between short ram nismo intake and regular nismo intake?

 

again it is entirely up to you to get test pipes

one is short ram...goes under the hood....absorbs more heat

the other is cold air....sucks in cold air...has been shown to lose low end trq.....

seriously though you have 870 posts...are you really a newb or just retarted(and i mean that in the most respectful way possible)

 

sorry im just not a car person and never have been, my view was if it worked then leave it alone, sorry for asking questions and sorry if that makes me retarted that i am not a gear head and know a million things and the intricate workings of car motors

Where have you been for the past 8 months? In a comma?

 

seriously i just thought you were screwing with me.....90% of the guys here will tell you to go search

but you have 870 posts so i just assumed you know enough ...guess not

anyways back the point.....test pipes wont yield too much power

 

 

Either that or he could've been in an "apostrophe"

 

and i restate

not everyone is as into cars as you guys...why is that so bad?

 

Classic!
Oh, that made my day.
You don't have to be a car guy to use the search function. I don't like to flame people, so I'll shuddup now.
Hey DavidV... What's it like being in a comma? Is it like having your period?

 

i did search sorry to inconvience you

 

Have you been in the off topic section for the past 850 posts... j/k. Ask all the questions you want, someone out there will answer them. There are a lot of people who don't understand every nuance of the Z, including myself.

That's why I joined...

Zquicksilver

 

any worse then being in a colon?

 

Spell check ****!

 

I've heard that the cats are the most restrictive part of the exhaust and that test pipes would totally free up the flow in that section giving you substantial gains. So you guys are sure they wont yield any significant horsepower?

 

it will weild you more than 3whp....more around the 10-15 mark
