KimberMVP11 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Sounds lovely with the Cobra cat-back system! Nice burble when you lift off the accelerator. Cost will be £175 I believe from Tarmac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 looks identical to japspeed and toyosport one too lol. pretty sure they all made in the same place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzard27 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Think 175 is a bit much in my opinion when u can get branded for like £50 more. no offence intended and im not saying its not a good part just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 We posted a while back about Ypipe tests we did with a metallurgist. There are a number of sellers claiming products are 304 stainless steel when they are not they are a poorer grade of steel but you can't tell by the naked eye. This one is 100% T304 steel and will come with a lifetime warranty on the material and two year warranty on the flexis. Same as you get with named brands that are £75 - £100 more If someone wants to spend £55 less on a Ypipe off ebay that comes with no warranty or come back and probably a lesser grade of steel then thats up to them 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzard27 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi Chris, I wasn't saying your product isn't good nor trying to stop people buying it, im just saying when you can get a stillen y pipe for 220 why would you pay 175 for a (no offence) unknown and new product. I mean if people want to chance it and the warranty you offer is very good i will admit, i was merely talking a price stand point. No disrespect intended as i have many products you sell in mind to buy myself so id never tell people not to buy from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzard27 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Think you should get videos etc from people that have bought it to see what it sounds/looks like, would deffo help a sale imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) can get a toyosport one for 80 From where Bradders? New or used? Curious to know as possibly looking at options. This is same as i have, no issues, although mine came with the rest of the exhaust ibought. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1e9c005c69 actually no mines this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-Z33-3-5L-S-STEEL-EXHAUST-Y-PIPE-DOWNPIPE-/180780838150?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&fits=Model%3A350+Z&hash=item2a1760ad06 Edited April 21, 2015 by -Bradders- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect intended as i have many products you sell in mind to buy myself so id never tell people not to buy from you. It's no problem dude I advise people to buy the Stillen all the time, always have over the last 5 years, we sell them at £269 The two pictured in the top post one is £275, one is £175 - both will come with the same warranty. Its up to the customer which one he wants to buy i'm just offering a cheaper option. I had a guy on last week purchasing a Stillen Ypipe as he had gone through 3 ebay pipes in two years - this is common occurence. Some maybe fine and you may not have any issues, but if the guy above had purchased the Ypipe from me that is guaranteed 304 steel for an extra £55 with two years warranty then he would have saved himself £185.. Some people want that piece of mind, some people don't - that is entirely up to the buyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzard27 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi chris, I do agree n in all honesty if i couldnt get the stillen for that price id probably try out yours, Whether they're paying the vat etc i dont know but either way im getting it cheaper Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzard27 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Out of curiosity, whats the sound like on yours Chris?

Bodyboarder81 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) You won't get a noticeable sound difference when swoping out your y pipe. Edited April 25, 2015 by Bodyboarder81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
