tez162003 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Day 1 of 350z ownership - standard exhaust Day 10 of 350z ownership - Japspeed K1 - the ill fitting k1 with its short tips that make the cans sit in the bumper holes. although it was awesomely loud, the fit was shocking as you all know. apparently my bumper moulding being wrong... finally it has come back off, but in its place is... Day 24 of 350z ownership - a awesome Buddy Club Pro Spec III Y cat back. The quality is mega on this! those welds are perfect and fit, although a tad of adjustment needed, is good. twin exit exhausts, vain of my life! who says my bumper holes are wonky.. horrid K1 can vs Buddy Club (well k1 is okay, just the cans are too short as well as the mega short tips) installation, who needs a ramp! Was a bit upset at first about the quieter exhaust, but the k1 was just loud noise, didnt sound too nice, where as the buddy club is still loud, but what an exhaust note Any one else on here got one?

friddela Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Looks lovely. How much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimm Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 AdrianK had one and it sounded BUT more importantly he was at a rolling road/dyno and his pushed out the most bhp due to the buddy club being/having the best airflow !! I want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggy Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Wow, that looks more a work of art rather then an exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo-R Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Hellloooo?!?!? Can you hear me???? BC Prospec are mighty loud! Had one on my EP3 CTR and was hated within a 3 mile raduis of my neighbourhood! But boy does it look like a quality bit of kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want one i never thought of exhausts giving real power gains, but i can feel a difference. proberly just me imagining it. i only ever thought manifolds and cats were where the restrictions were. High flow cats please and yes it is loud, but i started to get used to the K1 so this seems quiet when driving, although when im stationary and rev it, it does sound loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 said many a time that the buddy club was a better option and only marginally more expensive than the japs eye stuff. +1 - I saw Adrians being fitted (as I pilfered his Nismo ) and the quality was top notch. Sounds was great too, as said above, its loud but not just noisy as the K1 is. Well done on stepping up to a quality exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tez162003 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 thanks guys, good to know it was a good purchase, would still like to pull the right hand exhaust over a tad more, but that is me being insanely picky, talking a mm or 2 max lol i shall try get a video of it soon, dont actually have a video camera, or a video phone, damn the iphone 3g. i should really get a newer one.

Adriank Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I too had a buddy club as said, with Berk Sports CAT's the sound was immense and it made good power, getting 290.1 bhp... Was a great exhaust, good choice mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Just had this exhaust fitted at Abbey. All I can say is wow what a quality bit of kit and it sounds superb! I was going to go with the masses and get a scorpion but I'm glad to be different and it wasn't all that much more expensive. I will get some pics up when I can.
