Default Should it be Made?

I've been asked by Tomei to take the pulse of the Z33 community with respect to a new product they are considering releasing. So, I'm asking for your help, to show Tomei that "yes you approve", or "no you don't". Those who follow our blog, know we were the first to leak the info about this. The prototype has been completed, and actually resides on my friends car as we speak.

The Product

A Single Exit, FULL Titanium exhaust (bolts to stock Y pipe). Piping is 3 inch inner diameter, and the design is there to promote power through the rev range. This would be suitable for NA and FI cars. It fits all Z's from 2003-2008 including the NISMO.







The Details

ETA would be sometime later this year (I don't know when yet, sorry). MSRP (manufacturers suggested retail price) of around $1300. I don't have the exact weight just yet, but should be in the 15 lbs range (by comparison, their setup for the Evo X weighs 9 lbs)

The Sound/Performance

Here is a video of the car on the dyno. The car is completely stock, except for an OS Giken LSD and HKS suspension. Everything else is factory (2008 350Z).

Here is the dyno before and after

-muffler looks good for the n1 style fans
- slip on exhaust sucks, needs to be a 2 piece bolt on
-dyno results are unbelievable for a y back
-price is too steep for a Y BACK single
-i always approve more options for the Z, but its not for me

I already have an aftermarket exhaust and there's more than enough companies selling them. Tell them to make high compression pistons.

I'd prefer v-band connections over the slip on style.

Funny that it's referred to as a "cat back" that bolts onto a stock Y pipe.

it looks nice, but we already have the greddy ti-c, agency power, and jic singles. All of which can be attained for cheaper than this new single.
