Did the setup on my 09 sedan earlier this year, and while install was a little high ($500) the sound is so hard to beat, I get compliments on it all the time
So awesome to hear!
I've had this system on my '13 G37x for a little over a year now and it has been totally worth it. Many people have complimented the sound. I have the Borla muffler and the Flowmasters. It sounds so good burning tunnels and on the downshifts. Great set up! I have a couple of videos on my channel including cold starts, short revs, short pull and a quick rip if you want to check out how it sounds. And as I note in the comments, sounds WAY better in person!
Love the feedback!!
any drone or rasp ?
@@VQchrys not raspy at all. It's got a nice growl to it. It does drone at times, but it's easily managed with sport shifting.
I finally got my 3.0t awd done. From front to back I went with the flex pipes, magnaflow, flowmaster fx then tips. All pipes 2.5inch. Prices are up I was charged $482 for the install.They knew exactly what to do though and I didnt have to tell them anything. It sounds pretty good so far but barely drove it a day cause the car is at infiniti getting my heat exchanger installed. Will try to get some clips soon. Thanks SCS. Forgot it also came with a 2 year warranty from the shop.
Can you do a parts list as well?
@@Username_8886 Remarkable Power RK7545 flex pipes, upower x-pipe 2.5 #192265, Flowmaster 71416, upower 2.5 tips #184290.
@@lewis6720 how is that u power x pipe treating you I just might get that instead of borla pro xs
@@junebug4478 I have had no issues with the x-pipe. I have a 3.0t not a 3.7 though.
Lewis you have a ig with a clip
Hey thanks for the design! Really made my 3.7AWD open up. For the droning I made some custom Helmholtz resonators and they did the trick to remove resonance droning maintaining flow & sound
did you replace the flowfx resonators?
How did you do that
Just got mine done today! WOW! I'm almost afraid to do the cats. It sounds so damn good!!!!!
You're right about the cost. Mine was for a different reason tho. Where I live getting anyone to work on one of those rice burners is impossible.
Nearly 3 yrs on the G37x and yet to find a better sounding VQ. Running magnaflow resonators and test pipes with the borla mid Hands down the best exhaust. Wouldn't dream of running anything else. 💪
Did you get the flex pipes?
@@lightcario1471 yes but you will have to replace them after a while as they take a beating.
@@elioalzugaray9106how often do u change your flex pipes?
@tre2216 depends I've gone 2 yes with them, much sooner if running burble. Burble also destroys the mid muffler. I have since gone 3" single exit but it doesn't sound near as good. More power though.
The hunt for 2.5 inch flanges was ridiculous. And my test pipes were on backorder for 6 months even though they were supposed to be in stock. Same thing happened with wheels and tires as well.
It’s crazy right now!
2013 infiniti g37 sedan RWD. I snatched pretty much all the parts up this year early March late February, except for the flanges of course lol. Same time even came in the same box other than the resonators. Was like low $300 like $320 or so. After shopping around finally got a shop to install it. They charged sub $500 like $450. It's been so long I've forgotten the specifics I just know when it was all said and done it totaled out to $780. So really it comes down to finding a shop that's willing to do it on the cheaper side. It took them all day to do it because of the specifics of what I asked for centered around the placement of the borla x pipe. He eventually got it in there exactly where I wanted it. I don't mind sitting there all day if you're doing exactly how I want it.
$780 for a full catback for the G37 sedan though is basically impossible outside of your exhaust setup. I searched high and low for catbacks for the sedan. There's only like 4 or 5 full catback options, 1 of which seem more like exhaust system replacement than legit performance systems. Manzo for $600 doesnt really do anything to really differentiate the car from stock. If thats the case why buy it?You have fast intentions, invidia and stillen left from my memory. I'm sure I'm missing someone though. All of those are usually over $1k especially Fi and stillen. You could probably snag a Invidia Q300 for less than $1k barely but it's possible. But that one doesn't really have a deep tone, it's more high pitched and on the whiney side.
I then looked into axle backs and y pipe backs. The one I almost went for was the top speed y pipe back exhaust because it has a deep tone that I wanted. Issue though? It was damn near $800 and apparently had corrosion problems. Also $800 for a y pipe back just to add $300 more for the actual top speed y pipe to go full catback sorta defeats the purpose of going for the cheapest option to begin with right?
So when I say that your system is literally the only real option for the G37 sedan that was less than $1k for a FULL CATBACK, I'm not kidding. I would've been posted sound clips by now but I don't want to until I get my cracked converters off and my resonated berk test pipes on to do the system full justice.
But dude even with hissing/cracked cats at an idle I've had people literally question me if my car is still a V6. At idle it lopes sometimes like a v8. Its so deep.
15 mins and I’m here for it!
Thank you! Just tried to cover a lot of details people ask me about. To many people the details are obvious and common sense but to some they just don’t know… tried to keep it as short as possible
Just ordered my parts the other day. They just arrived getting it installed in a few days
Sounds so great on my 2015! Thanks bro👊🏽
Awesome!
I paid about it under $500 for parts (I got my flanges on ebay) then got quoted for the install at $650. So I’d say it’s a little over the price point but it’s such a great sounding system!!
Thanks. Cuz of you my vq sounds good thank you scs
Awesome man!
I just got quoted for installation $700-$750 max but the guy said he could hook me up for maybe $600 hopefully it goes thru. cannot wait to pair them with HR/VHR Boosted 6 Auto power pipes. I also paid $475 for everything including the Borla muffler along with the 18" UPower Resonators, flanges and 4" exhaust tips which isn't bad at all.
That’s not too bad these days
Just did the scs custom on my 15 q50 3.7. Love it
Awesome! Glad to hear that!!
I can't wait to get mine
Im doing this on my 08 g35hr tomorrow everything looks like it fits fine
Great. Let me know how it goes
@@SpeedCultureStudios will do!
Definitely Looking Into Buying This Set Up Very Very Soon , U Definitely Explains Stuff About This 3.7 Platform Entirely Perfectly, Love The Content Always
Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
Install tomorrow! So excited
Hell yeah!!
I wanted to hear you opinion on this. So I bought this whole setup (with resonated test pipes) but ended up opting for the magnaflow muffler. I bought the 22” resonators to account for the smaller size of the muffler but i’m still concerned about rasp. The other option would be returning the resonators and getting two straight through magnaflow mufflers (same size as the x muffler) but single in/out. If you think the longer resonators will suffice i’d rather keep some volume. Just hate rasp lol.
Rasp should be minimal if any at with the setup as is. That’s why I’ve recommended it. If for some reason you have some rasp or develop some over time. You can replace the resonators with something larger.
All of those companies should be sponsoring your channel! If it weren’t for you they wouldn’t be selling as much product!
I agree! Lol There have been over 1000 Borla muffler sold alone just because of this video.
@@SpeedCultureStudios I’d love to do your SCS Custom catback but as of right now I’m looking into different options. Only because I’m working 12s and mostly 7 day work weeks and I just don’t have the free time to get to a shop. Unfortunately.
Bro, much respect.
Love these videos man I've got test pipes and the flow masters ready to install but I'm going to keep the stock y pipe and resonators for now. If I hate the sound I'll get the mid muffler just worried if I can find a local shop that will fit it into the g37x
People have made it fit that car, but I think you have a good plan. The factory resonators are pretty strong so they’ll help with rasp. Should still sound nice!
@@SpeedCultureStudios honestly sounds amazing at idle and full throttle. Getting that notorious rasp from the stock y pipe at 2.5k to 3k rpm so guess I'll be going full SCC soon!
I’m not that far from Inman prob like an hour.. I might have to make a trip there. 😅
Definitely worth the trip
i have a 2014 3.7 and i bought the resonators, the borla muffler, flange kit, tips, and flex pipes what else do i need because a shop told me it won’t fit on my car when i got the same measurements from your videos
I think this system sounds pretty good. Quick question though, Can your system be used on both the NA and Turbo models?
Thanks! Yes it can, and has been, but I generally recommend a slight variation, especially if they plan to continue modifying and tuning their turbo vehicle. First suggestion is to bump it up to a 3" system. The second thing is, I typically suggest going with just a standard x pipe instead of the borla. Every platform is a bit different but in the turbo Q50, many people will typically just do lower downpipes rather than full downpipes, so the need for a big muffler is not really necessary. Turbos act as a pretty good "muffler" so the borla might be excessive.
Well, I've only driven about 4k miles 1.5 yrs maybe.. on my "scs" catback, and my borla pro xs muffler is starting to come apart. :( The very thin metal wrapped around the muffler is starting to separate, causing it to rattle. I'm not the only one, another guy contacted borla about it, and borla recommended replacing the dual in/out with 2 separate mufflers. I'm about to contact borla myself, see what they say.
Borla will generally replace them with their warranty. They should not come apart
I’ve been through 4 Borlas
Today is the big day. Flow master 40 series as the mid into a rev9 axel back. I can't find anything online about someone with this exact setup, so I might be one of the only ones. 2.25" all the way
How do you like that setup? I’m considering going that route. Would it be possible for you to send me sound clips or post clips 😮
@@derecknguyen4186 I absolutely love the sound. There is a small clip posted on my usernames account.
I already have a remark axle back which is essentially just a muffler delete, do you think if I cut out my resonators and put in a magna-flow it’ll sound good? I’m looking for a more aggressive sound and I’m fine with some rasp. Also in this setup is it important to replace the rest of the stock piping? I’m not sure how much that matters I’m still learning lol
ive had mine done for over a year now 2011 g37x. i highly highly recommend. im sure my g sounds better than any other g in my city.....i went magnaflow......sounds fucking fierce. thanks SCS
Heck yeah!!
How does magnaflow sound different from borla?
Apparently it's more aggressive...but I wouldn't know... I also have the resonators...but decides not to use them....sounds amazing. I get a lot of compliments
@@chilinchen2656 there is potential for a bit of rasp to sneak through. It’s a smaller muffler overall. Some people like a little rasp. Overall volume is very similar. May not even know the difference
So you went magnaflow instead of the borla xs?
Wow that's awesome.
I have a VR30tt and am looking to do your recommended 3" setup. I know you have done lots of research, but how important are the FlowFX Resonators to overall sound? Would the LCGP work or are they junk? Also noticed the Evil Energy has an option with integrated tip. Do you have an opinion on those? Mostly curious about how different manufactures parts effect overall sound.
I love your content. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! If you've heard the 3.0t with an "open" exhaust it can get a little tinny. If you're doing the setup with a mid-muffler, you wouldn't really need the flowfx resonators, but with the 3.0t--especially if you're tuning--I would do an x pipe instead of the borla and then use at least some sort of larger resonator out back. A resonator with integrated tips is fine.
I don't how else to ask but have you considered to do a Tail of the Dragon Q50s meet in Robinsville NC ?
I’d love to have a meet, but the tail is so busy I’d hate to be responsible for a group of people I don’t know on a road like that.
i’m trying my best to understand what all i need and what does what with exhausts on my Q. just trying to get more air out, don’t really care about the sound, don’t have the $ to buy it all. is there a way to easily make a better exit for less restriction ?
You can do an x pipe rather than the borla. That’ll save $200. It’ll just be raspy - if you have test pipes. If you have stock cats, just get a 1320 performance y pipe and cut the muffler off.
@@SpeedCultureStudios the catback one ? i’m gonna do that with the muffler delete and stock cats no test pipes. i’ll look into that thank you very much much appreciated. love the gtr sound they make ! haha. i’ll need new tips for that won’t i ? what do you think of the redline 360 axel back polished tips ?
So I have AMS LDP non resonated and with a tune. I ended up going with a double X pipe setup and the flow fx resonators by the tips. Would you recommend fitting another set of resonators on the system since I dont have my stock bottom cats anymore. Or should I put on the Borla/Magnaflow muffler . This is all 3 inch pipes too
What do you mean double x pipe? Why do you want additional resonators?
@@SpeedCultureStudios I may have messed up but I had them install 2 x pipes in place of the magnaflow muffler 😥
@@maturebananas8578 yeah not necessary at all.
I wanna run this set up but what changes should be done to accommodate and supercharger set up on G37
If you’re going for max power and are ok with it being louder, I would use an x pipe instead of the borla and use 3” pipe and resonators
Just got a 3.7 Q50 i really want this setup on my car im going with the a little louder version did anybody went that route and does it need any modifications for AWD?
I'm gonna give it a couple weeks or so.I feel like I have lost some power with the magnaflow muffler and there is a bit too much vibration underneath me even with the flex pipes. Contemplating just going with a regular x-pipe.
Regular x will be super raspy and won’t do anything for vibration
@@SpeedCultureStudios Ok so what would be an alternative? I have a 3.0t awd not the 3.7. I have 2 flowfx, flex pipes and tips installed.
@@lewis6720 ok then that makes a little difference. It won’t be too raspy with an x pipe so that’s good but it still won’t do anything for the vibration. I’d first figure out what’s causing the vibration
@@SpeedCultureStudios ok thanks for your input, appreciate it. I'm sure it's that muffler right up under me.
Ok I went back to the shop and removed the magnaflow and used a regular x-pipe. Low end torque has returned, less cabin vibration and sounds better too. A lesson learned. To those with 3.0t awd you don't want to use the magnaflow muffler. It's more of a restriction combined with the flowfx resonators.
just to be clear you don’t have no stock catalytic converter?
The exhaust is designed for test pipes because they make the car very raspy without a catback. If you keep stock cats with this setup, it'll be pretty quiet--it'll sound stock.
which test pipes do you recommend? and which tune do you have?
I have a test pipe recommendation video if you want to check it out but really any of them are fine as long as they are not Megan racing
Hey speed it’s me again lol. So I installed the scs exhaust on my 37x sedan and I gotta say it sounds amazing! I’m getting tuned this upcoming Saturday with admin but I wanted to ask you will the borla muffler hold up if use the pop map from time to time? I’m not going to be using the flame map but I will be using the pop/crackles from time to time
I’ve used the flame map a few times with no issue, but admin’s flame maps are ridiculous
@@SpeedCultureStudios 😂, so do you think I’ll be okay with just the burbles?
Wassup speed, quick question. So I’m getting tuned with admin oct 1 so about 2 weeks from now and I’m getting my test pipes, borla, and vibrant resonators installed tomorrow on my g37x. I was wondering do you think my car will be okay to drive without a tune within the two week time frame?
It’s not ideal but lots of people do it. I would just say no wide open throttle pulls for that period and you’ll be fine
@@SpeedCultureStudios thanks for the quick reply !
I’d like to know what other exhaust parts sound like as resonators and mid pipes. That would be interesting
Question what if I just install the borla without the flow master fxxx??
Just get a little rasp left over. Some like it and some don't.
Question i woukd like to hear my q50s like a beast very loud what you recommend for me ? Thank you
Muffler delete. Or this custom setup. Louder is not better with this engine.
I’m looking to do the scs exhaust on a Fx35 I just picked up. The factory exhaust utilizes a y pipe into a single in/out resonator then to the muffler single in dual out.
Would a single in single out (or single in dual out) borla proxs muffler in leu of the dual in/out give the same sound?
It was be similar in tone yes, as long as the dimensions of the case itself are relatively similar. I would not do single in/out though. I’d get ride of the factory y and replace it with the borla or magnaflow and do dual in single out if you wanted to keep that same format. Try to find a 3” outlet though to keep a lower tone
Hey J, I currently have an IsR single exit with isr HFC and have crazy Rasp when going hard in 2-3rd gear It currently has one Isr resonator that came with it is there anything I can do to eliminate this rasp without losing how loud the car is?
If you have room, you could try installing another resonator into the system. You'll keep 99% of the volume, but it'll help kill that rasp.
Im was wondering if I add 2 mini mufflers behind my tips on my custom catback, if it will affect my tune. I am tuned by Rs Enthalpy and he said if it doesnt make it more restrictive. I currently have -non resonated testpipes
-custom 2.5 inch catback with x pipe and vibrant resanators
It sounds nice but it has a lit of vibration in the cabin and i wanted to add the flow fx mufflers that you have behind my tips. I just wanted your thought on it as well. Thanks!
The flowfx resonators are straight through so they will not cause any restriction or effect the tune.
@@SpeedCultureStudios thanks for the reply, I have vibrant resanators right now with nothing else on its a full 2.5 inch catback. Do you think also adding the flow fx resanators including the vibrant will help with vibration/drone in the car?
@@evojug6973 Yes, adding some nice resonators will help.
Is there a difference between the flowmaster fx resonators and vibrant performance resonators?
Depends on what vibrant resonator you use. They don’t really have any of this style. They are generally the smaller bottle style resonators which won’t do much here or they are bigger, stronger resonators that will tone the system down even further. Just preference really.
@@SpeedCultureStudiosIs to much of stronger resonator, no bueno?
@@nevarez2739 It' just makes it quieter, which sort of defeats the purpose. Unless you want it quiet...
Anybody in NYC that’s has a valid shop that can do this? Price and Quality wise
I’m adding this to my Q60 3.0 this week,Question you said if we keep our stock cats it’s best to drop the muffler and go with an X pipe.However you said if that’s down to use 3 inch ..please tell me what I’m getting 3 inch in and not 2.5 ? Just want to get the right parts plus the link to the x pipe is unavailable
For theb3.0t 3” pipe is good, especially if you ever plan on tuning. You can just search 3” x pipe and you’ll see several options
@@SpeedCultureStudios so just get 3 inch pipe and 3 inch X pipe and the I can purchase everything else that you listed just as is ? Resonators,flanges,etc at a 2.5 ? Correct ?
Hey I’m looking for test pipes,what test pipes your running?
Hey scs im tryna find the borla pro xs link I went to your shop on Amazon and it’s not there and I went to the original video and the eBay link no longer works.. do you have another link for it?
amzn.to/462mNRx
Try that one ☝️
@@SpeedCultureStudiosI just commented on another video trying to get the link to this for my g37 so thank you. Also I have to get rid of my stock cats cause they gone bad. so what do you recommend HFC OR TEST PIPES. I just want it to sound nice & deep (which ones do you recommend)
Also when I take it to the shop do they need to add any pipes or does your custom exhaust attach all together?
@@brianvasquez1479 a shop will have pipe. At this point I’d recommend the magnaflow alternative to the borla. Borla has had quality issues lately. Any test pipes are good as long as they aren’t Megan racing
I have a q50 3.7 as well is there a tone difference from your set up to the 370 set up?
Not one that is noticeable really.
hey man, i have a 2010 g37x with dual mufflers in the back. Can i still use the borla muffler or will i have to do something different?
You can still use the borla as a mid muffler yes!
@@SpeedCultureStudios where exactly? looking at the driveshaft it seems like it wouldn’t fit but i’m just eyeballing. closer to where the y pipe typically is or further back?
@@mattschannel38 it has to fit up tight on the awd. If you’re lowered, most people will do the setup in reverse order.
Do you recommend running test pipes on this set up?
The system was designed specifically for test pipes to reduce rasp while maintaining/maximizing performance.
@@SpeedCultureStudios okay thank you. Just trying to decide if I should get hfc or test pipes
@@SpeedCultureStudios which do you have on yours? Or you still have stock cats?
do you have any recommendation on a diffrent brand mid muffler ive blown threw two of them looking for something that might hold
If you’ve blown 2 Borlas I can’t imagine anything will hold up to what you have going on. You can try magnaflow though
Could I Still do this setup with Z1 Y pipe?
A variation I am sure
Question could you do the set up with just a muffler delete and add the FlowFX Resonators?? would that sound be bad ???
It would sound good. It would just clean up the tone a bit from the muffler delete
@@SpeedCultureStudios Thank you
J this maybe a dumb question, but do you have to have a tune??
Not with the catback itself but it’s truly designed for test pipes so if you get test pipes you’ll want a tune.
Ok thx for the help as always
What shop do you go to in Greenville?
I thought I mentioned it in the video, but it is Inman Muffler in Inman SC. They have done dozens of these setups so they do a very nice job!
So what if I don’t have the stock muffler on my car and I install the same system? Does the mid muffler counter act that or will it be much louder?
This is a full system. It replaces all factory items
If I have a g37x will the Borla mid muffler fit in place of my y pipe? I’ve heard that it won’t and I’ve heard that it does
Not on your y pipe, but there have been some g37xs that have made the boral fit. A good shop can tuck it up nice and tight, but also depends on how low you are.
I have a g37xS sedan and the shop I went to fabricated it perfectly. I have stock cars for the moment so I only installed the borla coming from the cats and going straight out. I’ll consider adding the resonators once I install the test pipes if I feel it’s too raspy or loud
@@jjamaya01 how much did they charge you? And did they mount it sideways or vertically under the car?
@@investinjahcoin5029 240, and I got mounted the exact same way he did in the video, Only diff is I didn’t install the resonators bc I wanted it to be loud
Does this fit the g35’s as well?
Yes it does!
I have a muffler and resonator delete. Would just 2.5 pipes and the borla muffler still sound the same?
It would sound better than your resonator delete.
What do you recommend for me to do to get a crawler sound
I still haven’t found a place to install mine… lol
Where are you located?
@@SpeedCultureStudios lol In Georgetown texas. I texted you on Instagram before but still looking. I’ll prolly wait to install till prices come down honestly.
@@attosmith7903 I’m in Austin and looking too. Lmk if you find a place
Mines going to be about 780-800
i plan doing this on my ‘13 G37x sedan. can anybody direct me to this setup but w parts that’ll eliminate rasp or minimize it alott while still giving that deep, aggressive tone
Will this setup work on the m37 ?
Will the borla xs single inlet dual outlet work as good due to already having an isr y-pipe ?
It will. The point of the borla is the eliminate the y pipe. There isn’t much room to install it after a y pipe, but it might be possible.
@Speed Culture Studios thanks for your input. Also i Love your videos bro
@@daylaun thanks for watching!
Okay i got Scs exhaust set up on my g37 and when i take turns sometimes i feel a slight lost in power what could cause this ?
Traction control
Can i run this setup on my car even if its not tuned ???
Yes. The catback itself doesn’t require a tune. It’s the test pipes that require the tune. So the only thing is that if you have stock cats, this catback will sound basically like stock so there isn’t much point in getting it as it’s designed here.
I would love to get my cart tuned, but it’s a little hard to get a good tune up here in the north east is there a exhaust set up you can recommend for a non-tuned 3.7 with stock cats I just want it to sound a little better than my stock muffler
@@mel0cel026 Best thing to do really is just do a muffler delete. Sounds good and is inexpensive
I wonder if any 350z has done this
I don’t recall a 350z. There may be some with my single exit design. But there have been g35s with it installed
I’ve heard many people blowing their mid pipe or borla muffler and going through multiple mufflers 🤔
There have only been a couple with that issue and there are over 800 of these systems out there now with no issues. Also-as I mentioned in the video-these people are constantly shooting flames. Mufflers are not meant for that abuse. On top of that, borla offers a lifetime warranty, so if there is a problem, they replace the muffler.
I’m thinking titanium for the two that need the bend after the test pipes
Just for fun?
@@SpeedCultureStudios just because I have to get those 2 pipes and why not ?
I got a question if i wanted to add hfc to the scs exhaust could i for a g37 coupe?
Yes. HFCs, test pipes, stock cats, they all bolt right up
How would the layout work with the stock y pipe?
You wouldn’t want to use the stock y pipe
@@SpeedCultureStudios what would you recommend for me? I’d like to keep the y pipe
Drop ig names I want to see clips I have a 3.0t
Does this replace the y pipe
Yes. It replaces everything from the cats back
Hey speed I have stock cats on my g37 do I need res test pipes for this set up to work.
No you don’t need them. You can keep stock cats but you probably wouldn’t need the borla. You could just use a regular x pipe
@@SpeedCultureStudios Thanks Speed I ended up buying the borla. Is there any test pipes you recommended in one of your vids
@@jvoncutler5890 have stock cats too bad plan on doing this setup. how’s your experience w this setup ?
@@VQchrys his setup is refined I still have stock cats on my its loud enough at WOT quiet at cruising speeds. Not bad for the price. Its solid
If you go to a shop, asking for a 1-2hr fabrication + install, you will be f'd in the a. And then you will come to Mils Garage Customs, where we will fix it for you at the real costs it takes to build/fabricate quality exhausts. Happens every week.
I’m sure you guys do good work, but it’s truly a 1.5 hour job at most. Any decent shop can handle it. Inman muffler is a prime example and my old shop back home in Minnesota could whip this up in their sleep.
Do you guys have a pipe bender? If I had some more room, a lift and a bender I’d just start installing these myself lol
@@SpeedCultureStudios So the latest customer to come in the shop (car is there now), went to another shop for simple fab work, and now they have their flanges cut off and welded together. We don't bend pipes, because it crimps down the diameter, so 2.5" becomes 2.25", and 3" become 2.6". We only make full diameter show competition exhausts, which are guaranteed not to leak. We don't weld on the car, because that will leak every time. This exhaust is a min 8hr single exit; dual takes more time.. Unless you're ok with leaks, and then we send them to another shop. No loss on our end at all.
@@milsgarage I’ve talked about this extensively, and mentioned it in this video, but the bends in this system are not extreme enough to impact anything. Even the slight loss in diameter will not hurt flow or performance. Not a single big. You really have to restrict flow to hurt performance. In addition, in the VQ in particular, the factory catback at just over 2” in some spots is not an issue, so a “crush bend” on a 2.5” pipe is certainly not a problem. Now if you’re going for a show car with mirrors showing the underside, sure I’d go a different route.
I also have to say that if you’re getting leaks when welding on the car, you have a welding issue lol. I’ve had dozens of systems welded up while on cars and have never had a leak. I’ve also never had a shop cut off the flanges-that is just ridiculous to me-unless the person did not buy a set of flanges and had no idea what they were telling the shop. Exhaust systems are my bread and butter. I’m going in 20 years of doing this stuff on multiple platforms. I decent shop can do a very nice job with no problems.
@@SpeedCultureStudios Alright, well you're getting hooked up by that shop you're going to. i'd probs tip them a good $400 for their work. Welding up on the car always leaks. It's a half-assed weld, and you really think there's enough room on the top end of the pipe to get the mig in there? Like i said, these shops that do that keep us in business, so i'm actually grateful
@@milsgarage there are over 800 people with this particular setup that are very pleased. I did not have a hook up at the shop when I got this installed three years ago. I’m not necessarily hooked on my shop it’s just that if there is one good one there are bound to be hundreds more good ones across the country. But for sure for every good one there are 200 bad ones.
Yes in the Q50 there is room to make good welds. Flex pipe is also very helpful in this case. The tightest spot is between the pipe in the borla but the flex allows you to droop it down and access it quite easily. There is no clearance issues at all for tips and for the resonators out back-and if necessary the flex allows for additional access before hangers are welded on. Not every platform is as easy though! I’ve gotten expensive aftermarket tig welded systems over the years with pinhole leaks and motordyne has established a reputation lately for welds cracking so there is no guarantee it’s not going to leak. Even when welded by machine. But I wouldn’t trust just any shop. I drive 45 miles to mine instead of going to any of the 30 in a 10 mile radius. Definitely need to do some research before going to get exhaust work done. There’s definitely a need for what you all do! It’s just not attainable or practical for most. But to say you can’t get good, quick work at a local shop is just not true. There are some very talented shops out there that would take offense to that.
You also have to remember that this is a budget friendly alternative to those expensive systems on the market. If you’re paying 8+ hours in labor alone there really isn’t a point.
Shop just quoted me 500$😂
That's not terrible these days!
@@SpeedCultureStudios As of now I think the rev9 y and midpipe combo will be more cost effective + adding resonators especially if you have a axle back already.
Can u do this to a g35
Yes!
Update?? Bidenflation just made me drop over $2250 on the G's exhaust
Ick 😂
Partout
First!!!
I paid 150 in 😊AZ
hell yea!
Hey speed, do you need to tune it for maximum gains?
Not really for the catback only. But if doing test pipes or HFCs then yes
@@SpeedCultureStudios sweet! Thanks bro
I know it’s not a lot but WHP wise How much gains are expected?
