New Exhaust - Motordyne XYZ pipe + Sedan VQ y-back (VIDEO is up)

[tollboothwilley]

You all probably remember how my car sounded before when I had HFC, coupe MP and HKS rear.

I added some headers and lost some low end (need a tune still...) but after changing to the MD exhaust the low end was greatly increased.

I got the new sedan exhaust from Motordyne. Let me tell you, I was skeptic at first but this is TOP NOTCH quality. I don't think I've seen such pretty welding in my whole life. Everything fits like a glove and I felt a DRASTIC improvement after installing just the y-back.

Well, yesterday I got the XYZ pipe in the mail and I was able to install it today.

I'm got a full aftermarket exhaust at this point..and the MD setup is downright impressive.

Here is the sound/video clip for you guys (and gals).

Start from the outside...video from inside with driver's side window down til about 1:30 then I rolled the windows up.

Sounds great! For the first bit I thought it was just sound cause it was so dark.

Sux that you lost low end torque, that's where I find our cars are lacking..hope the tune corrects that!

[BrandAidDesignG35]

Sound a great deal like mine... I can hear the headers, and how they could change the character of mine.

Nice job, thanks for sharing John... Your G is really coming along now hommie.

I actually got the low end back with the MD exhaust. I edited the intial post to reflect that.

I'm getting a weird rattle like sound in the exhaust. I gotta find out what it is.

[BrandAidDesignG35]

I had a rattle under my cats, it was the heat shield vibrating, I doubt you still have OEM, but it's something to consider.

Do you know where it's coming from?

[G_whizz]

+1000 on the heat shield..

I dont have stock cats...Kinetix HFC. I don't even think I have the heat shield there anymore.

DJ...I already sold the HKS a while ago. I posted it up here but got no response so I sold in at the other place.

Video should work. I dunno what happened to the link. I fixed it though.

[G_whizz]

Works for me.

Damn it sounds good!

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Oh that is right.. I found that post a few weeks ago.... Yea I was busy with school that month.. .wasn't on much lol!

DJ

[tollboothwilley]

Ya. Sorry bout that. The Motordyne is way better for every reason though. Call Tony. He was doing an intro discount.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

How much did you spend?

[tollboothwilley]

Like $600 plus shipping for the y-back. Something around there.

XYZ I got seperate.

[WhiteyClay]

I just have one thing to say... Put on seatbelts....Seen the light on the cluster...sounds great...I got the NVidia test pipes with Borla Catback...and I love it

[tollboothwilley]

I always drive with my seal belt on. I just happened to not click it this time...I was on a back right just right outside my neighborhood...
