Ha, after a long and grueling 5 hours (lol) i finally got the APS test pipes installed onto my NISMO Exhaust. Wow the car sounds unbelievably beautiful... It makes me want to drive and drive and never stop. The growl that was unleashed when i started up the VQ was amazing and thats lack for a better word. once i pop into the 2.5k RPM range the growl begins to roar... words cant describe how much I love the sound of my Z now...

As far as performance goes I feel the torque and response better above 3k RPM. The response and overall driving experience is so much better and enjoyable. I've yet to push the car and nor do I car... im way over my head about the sound LOL!

As far as the CEL... nothing yet. I'm sure it'll come on shortly and I'll be in need of a fix for it. Well cheers guys and if there are any questions about the setup... ask away!

[EDIT] Here are the vids:

nice, maybe you can get a sound clip.

 

^ +1 that would be great

 

i certainly will guys and I promise just bare with me. I'll do as soon as I get a chance.

 

cool

 

Hows the rasp?

 

baptist... I dont know if its just me or I have like absolutely VERY LOW RASP to the point where I cant hear anything. I've yet to hear anything "raspy" as they call it... could be that im used to it because of all my other cars but or i dont know. The car sounds beautiful and nothing near annoying.

The only thing noticeable is the smell... lol.

 

Thats cool, I used to run my old Zed with a vortech, resonated test pipes, JIC ypipe and a Nismo, it used to rasp at certain RPM's, but god did it sound good!

 

This will be my set up 2.5 test pipes with Nismo exhaust on my new 07!!!! I just needed this confirmation!

where did you order the 2.5inch APS test pipes?

 

http://www.japtrix.com/350/

i just looke at the site and it seems to be down for maintenance or something because it's not allowing orders at this time. so go to:

Go to APS website and look for the USA Vendor List... I cant type the website here for some reason, it keeps giving me an error and not showing up...

^ thats the APS website, right there it has a LONG list of USA Vendors that sells APS products. The reason I ordered from Japtrix is because they are in Florida and so am I, here in Miami so I was thinking the delivery was going to be shorter...lol. I ordered on Saturday got it on Friday.

Hope this helps.

Oh and my Service Engine Light came on =X

 

very nice. time to get yourself some non foulers from Zexy.

 

^ question mark

 

What he meant to say was PM Zexy. He will make you a set of non-foulers for your test pipes that should help prevent the CEL that comes on as the result of usage of test pipes.

 

oh, thanks lol. I was actually researching on them just now too. Thanks! =D

 

Come to Orlando for an OZOC meet...I wanna hear your exhaust!

 

ill have a video up on thursday. lol its my day off.

 

^ woot woot haha

 

I just ordered some from him myself. Hoping to do a Nismo/Labree for stock swap this week.

 

^bump
