350z Test Pipe Install and Review!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- In this video I install Megan Racing test pipes and Y pipe on my 350z! This would apply to any 370z, G35, G37, as well. Sound clips and driving clips included! Overall, I would say it’s worth it if you don’t mind the extra noise! The install was straightforward and the performance gains were noticeable.
Thank you for watching! If you enjoyed the video give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing!

Man such an improvement and really doesn’t sound like most VQ’s that have that trumpet sound
Ain’t too bad!!
Check out my exhaust video lmk what u think it's eBay test pipes with 2 vibrant ultra quiet resonators a vibrant ultra quiet muffler and a Megan racing muffled 5 inch tip I have had nothing but great feed back so far

I love how there's half a dozen lights on the dash, and..."lets get test pipes!"
Ha. Im working on mine too. Its a process
😂 because racecar lol
Holy dash lights
😂
Crazy how they sag like that, like did they not test their own products? Nice solution with the rivnuts! Cool that you showed the weight savings and felt the gains! 😎
Yea weird!! I’m not sure lol but it worked out somehow haha. Thanks!
"With enough extensions, anything's possible"
😂
Sounds good, let warm up though to operating temperature before you redline it 😊
No hood/bumper or thermostat and cold day. That’s as hot as it got after like 20 min of running. Lol
Sounds so good!!
Thanks bro! 🙌🏼
You are so funny at the beginning. Thanks for the video you are perfect in everything. Take care and hope to see you soon.
Haha thank you! See you soon
Thank goodness sounds good
Motordyne or Tomei exhaust soon?
Long story short...My 1st G was a 05 G35 coupe manual back in 09 put like 15k$ into the car did almost everything except turbo. stillen exhaust test pipes injen intake cold air 19 in wheels with 285s tires in the rear coilovers light weight pulleys intake manifold performance chip also tuned it headlights lip spoilers grill swap stage 3 racing clutch changed master cyclinder and lightweight flywheel camberkit racing ignition coils and plugs slotted rotors etc...
My 2nd 2011 auto was a G37 coupe IPL in 2018
My 3rd was in 2021 another 05 G35 coupe auto
And now in 2023 an 04 auto G35 coupe. Its pretty hard to find a decent condition manual in Miami fl
Deep love for these vq coupes
Yes! Tomei very soon!! That’s cool man, hard to beat the bang for buck with a z/g!
Sounds mental 👍🏻
Thanks!! 🤘🏼
I like the sound
Thanks bro!
Have the same test Y setup Its hard to bitch over the price but cat mount point brackes could have fixed the issue if they cared enought to test fit a set on a car or listen to the first customerthat bough tthis set up in 03 04 lol. Ordered Tanabe/Revel as well. Tanabe =Japan Revel= Ebay quality I wasnt impressed with my setup on the 04 sedan. Yours sounds great plus you saved $800 on the cat back.
Yea it is hard to complain given the budget friendly price point, but for sure there’s room for improvement on the design. I think I’ll end up cutting the flex parts out of the Y since they still hang kinda low. For now it gets the job done though!
Subbed, good video man
Thank you! Appreciate that 🙌🏼
the temp guage moved from the cold peg, time to redline it! hahah typical tony lol
You saw that it wasn’t resting on the little peg, which means it’s warm 😂
@@tonycrispinbruhhhh
I see your instrument cluster seems to be from an auto which makes me think you did a manual conversion. I'm thinking of doing the same. How bad was it?
Yea car was originally auto! It wasn’t too bad, I talk about it in some of my earlier videos if you want to check them out!
Are you still on stock de exhaust manifold
And is your y-pipe not resonated
Yep stock manifolds and non resonated Y pipe
I might get some ividia test pipes because one of my cat not working correctly so might get similar plus wanted ask how you able drive that fast if both tcs n slip go off mine go off now n then and won’t let me pass 10 miles like a limp mode idk 🤷🏽♂️ what’s thw issue is
I have the fuse pulled for all of that stuff to fully disable TCS, a must do for drifting!
Cool video
Thanks!!
if i just replaced those flex pipes with pipe, would that be bad for my z? (keeping only the first set of flex where the cats would be
No that’s perfect, since this video I’ve cut the flex out of my Y pipe too so only flex at the cats/test pipes. As long as there’s one place to flex you’re good 👍🏼
I'm still waiting for my lift and shop too brother 😪
One day!
nice!!
🙌🏼
aye bro if i get test pipes can i still keep dual exhaust ? idk nothin about cars an learning want test pipes but also want to keep my double mufflers
Yea absolutely! The test pipes go before the y pipe so it wouldn’t change anything about your muffler set up 👍🏼
How about a whole exhaust ? Headers tests pipes y pipe and exhaust ?
Any extra would all help! Ive heard headers do make a decent difference! 👍🏼
@@tonycrispin I just got a 05 Z I was looking at different options for it but I’m in Ca so not to loud
@@Lilperez661 test pipes make it the loudest! Just get a quiet cat-back and you'll be ok
AERO kroil and jb80 whoops wd40 and pb blaster.
Lol
what extensions do ineed brother? if you could leave a link pls. im new to cars
The only extensions I used were 3/8ths (to match my wrench and socket) to get the socket way down there. You can buy a variety set on Amazon. Here’s a link amzn.to/3IakW3L
Does a test pipe jus make more noise, or it adds a small amount of hp
HP gains for sure! Not a lot but enough to be noticeable, and even more so if you get a tune after 👌🏼
I mean if I don’t need smog or anything to do can I run my test pipes with the check engine light? Will it harm engine ? It’s throwing code for cats only
No issues! Just a silly light. That’s how my car is lol
@@tonycrispin thank you for the reply
bro why u push ur rpm so high when ur temp and engine are so cold??
No thermostat, hood, or bumper, the car wasn’t going to get to full operating temp. It was warm enough. Lol
Does the check engine light come on after you install them ?
Yea lol
@@tonycrispin they ain’t legal in Cali huh 💀
Question, do you need a tune to run test pipes?
Nope! I haven’t gotten one yet, although a tune will maximize any potential power gain for sure!
@@tonycrispinthanks
whats your location?
