Sound pretty good! Anyone knows which flow better? Test pipes with inline resonators or hi-flow cats? Thanks.

The test pipes with resonators will flow better than the high flow cats, but not a huge difference.

Is this compatible with the stock exhaust? Will it give me the same HP gain?

i for one think the kinetix would pass a visual whereas the RT's would not....power-wise i don't think there would be that much of a difference between the two...price-wise you can't beat the kinetix....just my .02

lsdunique, I was wondering, with seeing what you have in the pipeline for your company, the only thing I don't see is headers. Does your company have any plans to put out headers for the Z???

Well, that would cool. None of the headers on the market are made for SC applications, would be good to have one that is for the SC market instead of just the N/A market. Also, some exhaust for turbos, aaahhh, guess I am giving you too much work, lol. Plenum for FI first!!!!!!!!! LOL.

If you want it louder then test pipes would be the way to go. Make sure you won't need to worry about emissions though, as they will not pass and taking them off and putting them back every year might become a hassle. + Test pipes are cheaper than high flow cats so try out the $200.00 - solution first.

What is the difference in sound between those two?

The test pipes with resonators is what I would advise if you want your exhaust just a little louder. Test pipes alone will go much louder, and high flow cats only add just a tiny bit.

In order of "loudness"

test pipes
test pipes with resonators
high flow cats

I believe ZXSAINT has posted a sound clip with the high flow cats and he has zero raspiness. We experienced zero raspiness as well with our test car.

$389.99 is actually the best price I've seen from any mfg. maybe after the lsdunique plenum, I would get these...

maybe there will be a package deal? plenum and high flow cat?

Does the G35 Coupe have more clearance for the cats, than the 350Z does?
