So essentially you can use test pipes into the XYZ pipe, then attach a MD single catalytic convertor after the XYZ pipe? Could this then be attached to a Nismo mid-pipe and so on? Very interested if so, or different variations can be used.

It makes it a lot easier to get the best of both. Cats and Test pipes.
And yes, it will bolt right onto the nismo.

Much of the design is about optimizing trades.
If it was optimized for performane on a stock exhaust, it would have limited performance when used on a high perfomance system.

Several installs performed today. All looks great but there is one flange that needs a slight adjustment on its angle.
We're almost there!

This will work on a Y-pipe back system or cat backs that use a Y pipe.

Fits perfectly.
Sound is mellower and quieter than with the regular Nismo Y pipe.
Test pipes will be installed on it and independantly reviewed today or tomorrow.
Rasp is the big drawback to puting HFC's or test pipes on a Nismo system but we will find out very shortly what the resonated XYZ does to Nismo rasp.

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just excited about this pipe and hoping it will work.

Yes, it will work on your system.
Do you have any links to pics of it?

It really opens up the possibilities and turns the exhaust system into canvas for personalization.
