Greekman Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Dear fellow Zedders, I regret to say that my exhaust is blowing....on the car that is. It's the right cylindrical bit on the y pipe that's cracked. The car is a 313 and the y pipe and exhaust are genuine nismo mated with high flow cats (think ultimate racing, will look into it). I would be grateful if you could share your wisdom with me on the best y pipes for a 313 out there that would fit/work with the nismo and hfcs.

Neilp Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Chris, I had a nismo y-pipe also that went. The original flexis are very short and under tension. Get two new flexis welded in for about 140 quid at an exhaust specialist and it will my far better. The welder that done mines put some on that were 10mm longer and it took all the tension off them.

SteveRS Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Looking into this for you Chris, should have some info early next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael robinson Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 IMHO stillen is the best y pipe I have seen as its solid and has no flexi's in it so nor failure points he got mine for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Miltek and Motordyne XYZ Y pipes in stock. I will PM you a price on Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Not a nismo but you can buy flexi's on eBay and get them put on your y pipe. Cost me about £80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 You can't get the Nismo Y seperately Chris Good selection in here but as said the Stillen is by far most popular http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/350z-y-pipes.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekman Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Thanks for the input guys. Any idea why the xyz comes with a resonator too? Straight pipe is better for performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Thanks for the input guys. Any idea why the xyz comes with a resonator too? Straight pipe is better for performance? Less rasp with the resonator bud I think you find with Chris, it is how many more BHP's it gives that matters rather than more DCB's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't make a difference in performance I could do with less raspiness but I wonder whether the XYZ is worth double than stillen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Motordyne xyz.... Quality bit of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil I am worried that the seams won't be smooth and will mess up air flow...how did yours look like mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 +1 on the Motordyne - never had an issue with it, sounds mental, performs superb - nil complaints what so ever!

(I've had mine on the car now for - heck - 12 to 16 months now I think ) Resonator or not? Heading the XYZ way me thinks I was recommended by Abbey to take the Race Cat (singular which I guess is high flow) and then some Japspeed De-cats. This allows me to pass at MOT time. So I didn't have a choice about a resonator. To be fair, I have no rasp. Although Japspeed are known for being poor quality, they couldn't really get test pipes wrong I'll be honest and say it's one of the best mods on the car, apart from the MREV 2, love the sound once you hit 3k+ and that's with an oem exhaust. I'm contemplating replacing the back section for a Motordyne TDX 2 it's that good On a side note.... Coming to Wales this year ?? EDIT** (Now with Pic - where you'll see the race cat as they call it, in place of what could have been a resonator or straight pipe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can go for the one with the cat and test pipes and sell my HFCs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 ^^^ exactly that, I would check with Abbey or the like first for fitment but I don't think there'd be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I did the same as Wasso and took Abbey's advice, although I went for the Motordyne ART decats instead, just because they look so damn sexy: (not my car btw): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
