Default Trying to Find Exhaust Shop CAT Delete

Hello Everyone,

Very new to the Z scene, this is my first one. Quick question so I don't waste your time. I need to find an exhaust shop that will install a straight pipe exhaust system, zero CATS just test pipes. I don't have emissions testing where I live and dont give a %$#@ about the planet. Thank you very much.

I would try and find the cheapest vet in your place. Ever thought about getting a dog? Cheaper in the beginning but takes a lot to maintain

I have Test Pipes comin. Wanna elaborate on that? What long term costs are we talkin about? I wanna do things right so if you can tell me now and I'll hold off until I have everything in order. I plan to tune afterwards, I don't want to half-a$$ anything. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Aside from the tune there's no costs involved, but I would be prepared to get one ASAP. Your car will run like dick and most likely throw check engine lights once you put the test pipes on. (But it will be louder and smell like a race car so you'll think its faster, lol)

I would replace the spark plugs, NGK LFR6AIX-11 are great, install the pipes, and get the tune.
Intec Racing in Kent is an Uprev Protuner and very good at it if you want to get dyno'd and talk to someone who knows pretty much everything about Z performance, or you can do the datalog/etune route yourself with the uprev cable. If you want to do it that way shoot me a PM, I know a guy

Monkeynutz racing in Vancouver is really good too.
Probably the number 1 Nissan Tune shop in BC.

This is true, Intec has worked with them on at least one big G35 twin turbo build.. but I would never recommend someone to drive to another country when one of the more reputable Uprev certified shops is right in their backyard... lol

Awesome, thank you guys very much. As you can see, really (green) to the whole 350z crowd and car. I appreciate all that, jotted down Intec Racing, I will give them a call once I get the test pipes in this weekend.

deleting cats is something to do on your own....it is illegal for a reputable shop to remove them without replacing them. Big Fines if caught.
