If you’re looking for a great sound for a 350z I recommend going with invidia N1, agency power y pipe, and motordyne art pipes with stock headers. Another option would be a full motordyne from the headers back ( motordyne tdx2). Third recommendation would be ARK Grip v2 exhaust with motordyne art pipes and stock headers or get ISR long tubes. If you’re picky about exhaust note (me), then your best bet is to stick with dual exits imo.
Ima be honest, I started watching your videos since you got the Z, I’ve been wanting a Z since 08. As I started watching your videos I started to watch them because (since I don’t have friends) I would watch them to act like I was there w you guys bonding. (Ik might sound weird) im from Indiana and I don’t have any friends, keep up the good work the awesome content and hope I have a 350Z soon
how you doin man? I know im a year late, but ill be your internet friend man ive been dreaming with a z since i was a little kid, im 19 and my first car is my current Volvo S40,and im working hard to get a z soon. Its my absolute dream affordable car .
If we wanna get technical, test-pipes are inherently cat-less. They are straight (or resonated) pipes that replace the catalytic converters. The reason they are called "test pipes" is because they are *theoretically* just supposed to be used for temporary "testing", since removing your catalytic converters for daily use is 100% illegal. Also, a catback replaces any part of the exhaust after the catalytic converters (or test pipes), including the Y/H/X pipe, mid-pipe(s), and muffler(s). There are also "Y-pipe back" exhausts- which replace the exhaust from the Y-pipe back- and axleback exhausts, which replace the exhaust after the rear axles (usually just the rear muffler(s) or "backbox". Otherwise, very comprehensive video
I went with a 2 and 2 setup, i didnt want a Frankenstein clusterfk of different brands for my exhaust build. I went with Z1 HFC, Z1 Y Pipe, ISR Single Exit GT. It sounds really deep and growly thanks for the ISR resonator which made the entire thing perfect. Doesn't sound like a trombone at all which made me happy af.
Tomei with resonated test pipes and y pipe is the best, especially on an hr since the stock headers give the tone a clearer sounding tone than the stock de/revup headers
agency power single exit if you want (daily mode) very deep deep tone, quiet when you want it to be and loud when you go WOT, compared to the tomei its not as raspy.
Megan racing test pipes paired with a muffler delete is the cheapest (cost me around 450$) best sounding exhaust setup in my opinion, it sounds borderline gtr ishh, does not sound like a trumpet at all, I've gotten compliments from muscle car guys so that speaks volumes
Honestly, I wish people did more ISR cat back exhaust with Tomei y pipes and headers to hear how it sounds because everyone does ISR y pipe and tomei cat back. Currently running the isr blast pipes with resonator rest is stock.
I rather replace the headers. DE headers are crap. You can put HR headers but you have to remember to get HR test pipes. Headers and art pipes make about the same power like long tubes. I have full motordyne, stillen hi flow intake and motordyne spacer. Sounds 👌 it’s tuned but I’m gonna get the 75 throttle body, admin or limp mode tuning intake, headers and retune to see if I can get more power
My set up is stock manifold, de-cats, invidia gemini (true dual system with an x pipe) love the tone and is quiet when you want it to then asbo when you send it.
I'm seriously thinking about doing ISR long tube headers and invidia Gemini cat back. Would be nice to see if anyone has sound clips of that. Or a good daily option would be motordyne art pipes and the Gemini
I just bought dna test pipes and a tomei catback and I’m keeping the stock y pipe for my 2004 350z. Will this throw a check engine light? And if so is there a way to bypass or get rid of it?
Hello i am thinking of Building a 350z and i wanted a exhaustivités That s Not that loud but has the same sound as the ohne in your Video. What can i do for making it less loud
Can anyone recommend an exhaust setup without art pipes? They’re impossible to get at this point. I’ve heard countless stories of people trying to buy them used and getting scammed.
I have a 2015 Q x 50 stock can I still use some of these parts on my platform ? With I’m assuming slight modifications idk if my q has same undercarriage
Haha I am on no limits i guess, I have ISR Longtube headers, tomei y pipe and tomei catback. It definitely is ridiculously loud and very scary to drive especially since i live in los angeles which is a state ref zone, but Ive been fine so far lmfao its been on for like 3 months
Its hard to say, theres an excellent video by donut media where (among other things) they explain the give and take on back pressure and restriction on flow. On paper dual exhausts have more unnecessary bends but also more diameter so it should be the same. The 350 will benefit a lot anyway as the stock exhaust is quite restrictive. Sorry I cant give a direct answer tho. ruclips.net/video/scOMtggXD0c/видео.html&ab_channel=DonutMedia
@leonZ I took the muffler of my G35 coupe whicheaves you with a single pipe all the way back to the axle and went to thw muffler shop and told them run single piping to the left side where I brought a Megan racing 4.5” muffler. Everything else was stock. It sounded really good bro. It was perfect. I then added non Resonated test pipes and it was loud af and droney.. so just do all that Nd leave stock cats. You will see what I mean
Tomei cat back tomei y pipe stock cats is the best sound no doubt but if your gonna replace your cats if you dont get art pipes its just a waste of a $1000 tbh dont cheap out
@@itsmandodoe z1 is a little more in the budget. Like I could afford the tomei but it's at my max budget. I just want something to be loud cuz I wanna be heard and I wanna be able to hear my car roar yet I don't want a huge amount of drone. I understand I'm gonna have some drone but I don't want it to be unbearable.
Techtronic if it’s just gonna be the exhaust with no cats you should be fine the drone usually comes from removing the cats i recommend the tomei it sounds amazing when that’s the only mod no rasp no drone just pure deep vq noise
Nothing from the exhaust is changed from the DE to the HR except for maybe the cats since the HR has equal length short headers from the factory. Other than that, the exhaust setups are the same.
The Z has been around for such a long time lol everyone has different sets ups lol you Guys are making it seems like the 350z barley came out 🤦🏼♂️ just catch up and go Boosted or something please
Dual exhaust is typically best for v8's. I definitely love the sound of the Tomei exhaust but one of my favorite exhausts is the Ark Performance Grip true dual exhaust on a 350, 370 or a genesis coupe. If you haven't heard it before I would recommend looking into it. Great video as always though!

To me,tomei sounds ricy, I like the deep tones.
Soo you be love the hks singel
Fact
This the comment I was looking for. It does sound ricy
I agree
This is by far the best video to watch prior to picking an exhaust option. Very helpful !

Do u have a video for ur setup? Thinking of doing something similar
Tomei with resonated test pipes and y pipe is the best, especially on an hr since the stock headers give the tone a clearer sounding tone than the stock de/revup headers
I have learned so much in just 2 hours about 350z just from watching your videos ✌🏽
agency power single exit if you want (daily mode) very deep deep tone, quiet when you want it to be and loud when you go WOT, compared to the tomei its not as raspy.
I've been driving with the agency power for 6 years, 150 miles everyday. My ears have aged and can't handle it anymore LOL
Bruce But those 6 years you never thought on changing to a Tomei?
3:20 big facts

I daily my z on z1 test pipes and injen true dual, stock headers. Sounds really good and has a nice deep tone. Not much drone and is nice around town.

Love that description and pick me poison ☠️😂😂
Got my tomei dahhh exhaust and tomei test and y pipe on the way 🙌🏽 super stoked!!
I'm seriously thinking about doing ISR long tube headers and invidia Gemini cat back.

Hey guys, been looking at the Tomei single exit and thought maybe adding in one of those exhaust valves to have volume control :)
Little late but did you end up adding that valve ?
Tomei headers, art pipes, tomei y pipe, and tomei catback is the ultimate setup.
I recommend motordyne for daily
motordyne shockwave tdx2 ?
Hell yea brother I have the motordyne tdx2 with art pipes
I got motordyne art pipes w/ tomei y pipe w/ tomei catback
Yo Cameron this is random as hell, but it'd be dope if you guys did a Honda Ruckus build.
Is the tomei test pipes worth it? Does it make much of a difference in sound and volume?
Bro I need one that goes 🔫🔥
Good info!!!!
motordyne dual exit w motordyne artpipes the best option for me single exits too droney and loud even with art pipes
Barley started building my exhaust on my z so I’m back cause i understand now haha
"Weekend meet" shows street racing 🤣
I have the exact no limits setup and I cannot leave my house at 12 am without the neighbors being mad
Nice job
What do you think about resonated test pipes without cats?
Long tube headers delete the test pipes?
They do yes
I have ISR test pipes Megan y pipe and isr blast pipes and it sounds like a GTR!
hows the drone
y'all slept on isr
My isr sounds like shit. It made good power but it sounds terrible.
What part of AZ are you in? I have long tube headers with the HKS Hi power (genuine) and it’s right up there with the Tomei in terms of loudness.
I was thinking of a ARK GRIP V.2 true dual exhaust system.
Heard stock y pipe motordyne art pipe and tomei catback sounds pretty good

Do you daily it? Lol
If I got the single exit setup without aftermarket y pipe would I need an tune up after?
Would you get more power with a single exit or dual exit? Also does the answer apply to all cars like turbo cars and v8s and stuff like that

What test pipes did you guys have?
For the daily then wich one is the loudest
Lmao that Chris guy must of been so depressed after getting smoked by you
350z and test pipes and muffler delete , leave res on .
Does it sound smooth with the n1 invidia non Gemini dual exit ?
Everybody and their mama has tomei. Shits played out already. I like the sound of the single exit hks or isr blast pipes
yeah same imma get blast pipes on my z
Is there such thing as a quiet single exit 😢 I have to get rid of my tomei because it’s too loud

Whats best for 350z/g35 coupe, tomei or z1 exhaust?

No it’s terrible
Tomei cat back tomei y pipe stock cats is the best sound no doubt but if your gonna replace your cats if you dont get art pipes its just a waste of a $1000 tbh dont cheap out
Would the tomei plus stock headers, stock cats and stock y pipe be okay for daily driving or would a z1 exhaust be better?
