ok so im planning on buying some test pipes when i get my z and was wondering if all i have to do it is put them on or do i have to buy other stuff to go with it. i was planning on getting megan racing test pipes

 

I suggest you take a look under your car and get familiar with the exhaust parts. I may also advise you to think twice about the Megan Racing brand. I have read countless reports of their products cracking/failing.

To answer your question: No you don't need anything to go with the test pipes; you simply remove the stock cats and replace them with the test pipes.

 

is titek a good brand?

 

they just bolt up in place of the cats. You will need to buy some hardware, get Berk's, comes with hardware. Make sure you get resonated test pipes...

 

+1 for resonated

 

ok what kind of hardware would i need to get and what are some good resonated test pipes. i went to berks sight and only saw tp for 07 up

 

any tp's you order should come with gaskets and replacement nuts/bolts... that's all you really need... only other thing would be non-foulers (to keep from throwing a check engine light) which you can pick up two packages at autozone for cheap....(you will also need a 1/2 inch drill bit and a vise to drill out one set)... may also pick up a can of pb blaster.... but my car had 4 years of rust on the exhaust and the bolts all came loose pretty easy without it......

having an array of tools to use is also helpful.... socket wrenches, sockets, extensions, open/closed end wrenches, etc....

It's a knuckle buster for sure..... hope you have some basic experience and a lot of patience... lol

 

lol thanks. i got sockets and wrenchs now these on foulers you speak of. how do they work exactly how would i install them. where do i need to drill?

 

Learn how to use search button or simply search around in the “exhaust” part of the forum. It's been all done and discussed thousands of times over and over again. Try to read up before asking questions. I'm just trying to help before you get

:d

 

You can also read the same about every other brand, i highly suggest the new Megan TP's with the flex joint in them.

 

+1,000,000 their customer service sucks if you have a problem with one of their products... I had springs on my tC.. the rear dropped more to the tune of 3.5" instead of 2"... they are AWESOME at avoiding phone calls from angry customers
