Default Test Pipes Questions

Ok I ahve a 2005 350z and I dont have much money to blow. So I really want it to sound good. and exhaust for 350z's are like 800 and up.

So i was thinking about straight pipes. Im new to the 350z scene but I been doing alot of research on it and straight pipes really dosent sound too bad. Where I live all you need is a resonator to pass expection.

So what do I all need to get? would I need to buy anew y pipe and run it straight. or a new mid pipe?

Instead of deleting the mid muffler. Is it possible to delete the rear muffler and run jsut pipes to the stock tips? Would it sound bad? is it even possible? Would it pass expection?

Idk if any of this make scence but I need some help/ info

Why would you want to spend money on something that" doesn't sound that bad" save up and get some quality parts that actually sounds good

I wouldnt mind buying a HKS exhaust but I dont have a 1k to spend. Exhaust for 350z are expansive, this is the cheapiest way I found to have a better sound then the stock.

Never go cheap on exhaust stuff(and most other things too).You'll be sorry in the long run if you start hacking and welding stuff to your exhaust system.
Check the marketplace.There may be used systems in your price range.Or,wait till you
save up for a quality system.
As a personal comment,I'm thinkin that grammar was not your favorite subject when
you went to school.

Welcome to the world of the Z. If you want quality, expect to pay for it.

That being said, you're likely to find some quality used parts in the marketplace. A lot of folks here are enthusiasts and take care of their vehicle like it was their child. If you dont want used, support the sites vendors!

Pick up some resonated test pipes or high flow cats used for cheap and a vibrant bottle style resonator for your midpipe..it'll sound pretty damn good

i've got a "blemished" 3" single exit for sale

We also sell the matching y-pipe but if you're tight on budget, there are many replica brands that are much cheaper for the Y

many videos on youtube of the AAM competition 3" single exit

Yes it is possible to run test pipes with a stock exhaust, I think that was your question?

No, your post does not make sense.

Just get pipes first like( z1 m.s.) if ur budgeting then save for that exhaust u lust..

check our market out always hot dealz...

and if really tight get single atleast you'll have exhaust.

Note our cars aren't Honda's so parts are exspensive so beware....
