Hey guys,
Just thinking out loud (no pun intended) here and seeking advice - -

I do like the sound/look of the Z stock exhaust, definitely doesn't need replacing as much as some others cars do. But I'd like a little extra power (not a ton of course) as well as a little more volume. Cat's change the sound on every car differently, and I know that they add rasp when removed on the Z. But if they are resonated, how would a stock Z sound? A little louder/burlier/deeper hopefully?

Anybody done this? Thanks!

Of course there is that, but it doesn't really address the TP issue as much as HFC. But that was a good start.

Also, I've read that the Y-pipe is the most restrictive part of the factory exhaust (through 06?).. I am in Vancouver, and local to AJ-Racing, so I might pick up their T1R resonated TPs and T1R Y-pipe... I had good luck with their parts on my old S2000 but not much feedback with their parts here. Wonder how that would all sound/feel with stock mufflers...

 

Is there a question in there which can be answered subjectively, or are we just listening to your 'thinking out loud'? There is a significant difference in loudness when you replace the cats w/ test pipes. BTW, the y-pipe is NOT the most restrictive part of a Z, pre or post '06, it's the cats.

I'm considering to buy the Fast Intentions resonated test pipes for my 07. They sound good with the stock exhaust and Nismo exhaust.

 

got clips of em on nismo?

 

its sounds like a beefed up stock vq.

i like the way it sounds

lol dang, I wanna hear em in person. I already got some berk hfc =(, haven't put them on yet though.

 

I love my set up. I'm going to try some new mods as well to see how they will sound.

 

Okay, in the videos posted I see no mention of HFC or test pipes.
In the first link provided, those are not resonated which was my primary Q.

thanks?

 

^^
What the hell are you talking about? The links I posted referred to the members who have the Nismo exhaust system with resonated test pipes. I even put in paranthesis the brand of resonated test pipes they have.

HFC added to the Nismo exhaust will not sound like the links I posted. From what I've heard, they make it sound different.

 

I didn't mean to get an attitude to you - - I was looking for stock exhaust. I see the links you posted, and appreciated them. You posted them for the other guy that requested clips with Nismo. Good. I was not directing it to you.
I have no idea what my last post was about.. Musta been in a bad mood.

 

Don't fast intentions make hfc's?? I'm pickin those up probly.. I don't wanna go the test pipe route cuz of the throwing of a cel light....
