Default ***Tomei Expreme Ti Install***

Installed the Expreme Tomei Ti last night

Happy with it, sounds great .
Looks great, went in very easy

But still the honeymoon phase only driven 10 miles with it.

I ordered their Ti Y-mid pipe for it , and undecided on if i should get the their SS test pipes , or their newer Ti down pipes

Very nice!

Now that I have a dedicated DD, I have been considering selling my S-Tune and picking this up.

From all the videos I have watched, it sounds amazing!

Skip the expensive test pipes
go straight to long tubes.

Or z1 equal length headers + test pipe

it's odd that Tomei is Japanese and it doesn't exist on the JP website

is it a new product? i don't recall the test pipe being offered in titanium before your post

previously i was only aware Tomei offered just the single exit y-back and the y-pipe in titanium

The titanium straight cat is newer

The SS headers and the SS test pipes are not new

and i also want to say the make a version of catalizer for 350z and i do not think that is new

Thank you

it is all subjective what we think looks better

but IMO for JDM cars
Mazda FD Platform 1991-1999
Supra Platform 1987-1999
Nissan 300ZX , 350Z , 370Z
Sentra SER 1991-1994

all look better single

Lol they both are designed to mate to the oem ypipe locations. There shouldn't be any part of either exhaust below the chassis. So they'll be the same


And don't slam your car man. It's just chincy, and the 350z handles so much better when it has actual suspension travel.

I lowered the car 3 days after driving off the showroom floor in 2006

LOL your funny


is the Z1 equal length the best header in 3 digit price point ?
I only intend on doing bolt ons , no turbo in the future ,
so it will remain naturally aspirated .

lastly the Tomei are the same price , i gather you prefer the Z1 ?

and thanks

Probably, but the stillen will get you similar gains and be a few hundred less. Tomei aren't quite as good. Z1 are true equal length and incredibly well made. PPE will probably have the highest gains NA or otherwise, but cost more and will be harder to install... The gain difference between PPE and z1 are probably quite small.

I'm anti stance so... Not exactly new to 350'z either.

I would add S2000 to that list. A buddy of mine had the J's Racing Single on his S2k and it was pure sex.
