What can you guys tell us about power gains? I know it sounds great, but is the car faster???

Post by **rcboy514** » Fri Jun 26, 2009 1:32 pm

damn, Ihad to go to home depot and spent $4 on two bolts. My pipe didnt come with any I used the stock nuts tho. and BTW with the nismo exhaust it sounds amazing.

I haven't really hammered it yet, but the revs climb noticably faster. Something about it just seems more ...open or something.

lol so bolts were supposed to come with it???? hahah damn racingline, nothing but the pipe n some stickers in mine, and as for powergain, there is a very noticeable increase, and i agree it seems like it revs up quicker

Now I feel left out, I didn't get any stickers lol. Sounds like it's a toss up, you either get the bolts you need or some stickers, but not both!

I didn't get bolts or stickers.My Y pipe is in and my exhaust is sounding a lot louder and deeper

Post by **XXplosive990** » Fri Jun 26, 2009 9:47 pm

It may sound raspy in the video however it is pretty smooth in person... Also I just had it installed a few hours ago, it might need time to settle in...

Definitely feels faster, especially around the 2800-3000+ RPMS...Sounds exactly like a 350z with an exhaust and midpipe work done...It still has the ability to be quiet in lower RPMS. Definitely worth it

Enjoy....

More vids to come

Sounds great. I have the same set-up but sorry to say it doesnt sound like a z with exhaust and midpiping. I dont think we are able to achieve that distinct G/Z exhaust note with our cars. I've tryed many times.

lol Have you ever heard a stock Z? I have one and we're getting pretty damn close. A lot of the older gen 3.5s have come close: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeNrMMiLIwo

Yea all my buddies drive Z/G... We are getting close to a STOCK G/Z exhaust note, but aftermarket wise noway bro.. Just yesterday, I lined up my coupe with my buddy's G (Nismo exhaust, intake, X-pipe. etc along with mine (Nismo exhaust-intake-Y-Pipe) and there was in my eyes a huge difference in exhaust note.. They have that import sound that we probably wont be able to achieve...Which is totally fine with me..I like my car for what it is..

i feel left out everyone is getting their y pipes and i stll havnt got mine. it was supposed to be here on the 25. its not an 07 but it sounds alot like a z http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-MRrQDJ44Q

Post by **Dexion** » Sat Jun 27, 2009 7:39 pm

Alot of that Z/G sound is coming from their catalytic converters and stock manifold, if you listen to one with test pipes and headers it sounds just like an Altima.

well there's your problem! you're trying to see sound without any proper equipment set up!!

haha hope u liked the vid rob, its been a couple days now and im definately loving my y-pipe, the power gain and sound are both worth the price that you pay. racingline did an amazing job with this product

Post by **3ugene** » Sun Jun 28, 2009 1:22 pm

Installed mine. Really i'm, not that enthusiastic as many of you are about it... didn't come with new gaskets which are cheap, I wouldn't mind paying a few more bucks for it. Well that aside, power gain is what I expected from the price. I think most of it is from the removed cat. If you guys stand behind your car as it revs now, you can definitely smell it. Really didn't feel that much of a difference from the pulley as well... I guess I'm just super insensitive to feeling power gains. I think I'm done with spending money on my daily driver. None of these bolt-ons give me the excitement of minimal investment in my toys.

Post by **nurseryboy** » Sun Jun 28, 2009 1:28 pm

I just installed mine this weekend, and I can attest to the other reports of increased performance and sound. I have the Nismo Cat-back, and it changed the sound dramatically. It's quite a bit louder, and more raspy. Definitely something I'll have to get used to. (It took me a while to get used to just the Nismo sound. I don't like it too loud / show-offy.) Performance wise it's a gain I can definitely feel. I have no idea how much HP it really added, but it's enough to be noticeably faster. It also felt a little lighter than the stock Y-Pipe. I didn't weigh them to compare, but I think there's a few pounds saved. This is probably the best mod so far for gained HP (that I've done). Overall I'm very pleased with it, and I think after it breaks in and I get used to the sound, I'll love it even more

I think the next logical step would be a tune. try out the bully dog Triple dog tuner or the powerpup. Should give out a BIG increase if it can take into account all those mods.

otherwise, a tune by technosquare could also give out great gains.

wow the y-pipe+borla sounds boss. making me rethink my exhaust options.

PS: after a quick google search i cant seem to find the borla for the AC online for sale anywhere ... can someone point me in the right direction? i wanna do some more research...

whoa lawl super obvious link huh, was hoping since it was an axle-back itd be a bit more affordable than a catback, at 800+ tho ...

on a better note, y-pipes goin in this week! W00H00!

Lol, obvious link is obvious.

Wasn't sure if you looked there...

Try autoanything.com Just get the axle back. A cat back is pointless as the piping is pretty much 2.5 inch until it splits in the rear. Plus its cheaper at 650...

Best sounding exhaust for the coupe by far imho...

Post by **mcheddadi** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 6:42 am

Ok I just got mine!

PICS:

it weights about 10lbs (9.6~9.8lbs)It's pouring rain outside so the install and review with vids and stuff might come in later than sooner lol

Post by **Viper5000** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 7:07 am

Did you receive the bolts?

Post by **mcheddadi** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 9:15 am

Nothing except the y-pipe. No racingline sticker, paper, instructions, nuts&bolts or gaskets.

here's are the torque specs for anyone installing it themselves .

65 N·m (6.6 kg-m, 48 ft-lb)

Someone needs to get the Y-pipe installed on a Stillen Catback and make some vids!! My birthday is around the corner and i need to see what I like so I can possibly order it

I have that set up and I'll make some vids. I'm just charging the battery for my camera so the vids should be up tomorrow!

Post by **marcelo929** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 10:52 am

Thanks bro I'd really appreciate that. Does it make the Stillen exhaust alot louder or not? I'd like a good deep sound but nothing too loud like borla. I'm torn between the Nismo and Stillen at the moment.
