The sound of this thing at both low and high revs is freaking amazing. I own a 370z and absolutely love it. Even enjoy the sound. I’d never have said it could sound exotic tho. This thing absolutely does.
Ahah thanks brother! I'm very pleased with how it sounds. The only way that I could see my exhaust getting better if the catback was lighter (full titanium) but short from that, it's awesome! 🙌
Extremely balanced car, I went from an 11 sec FD3S to a bone stock sport + touring 370Z and I love it as a daily. Extremely balanced and like my FD it loves being pushed to the edge.
Came across your video. Thank you so much for not wasting 25 minutes of my dad with useless content. You did a great job explaining the process as well as actually using real knowledge to explain the pros and cons of the the exhaust system components. I notice many TH-camrs repeating bad sayings they heard elsewhere and your simple explanations were on point! Your terms were great too! You used the right words for the different components. Keep up the good work!
I definitely think it still has the trumpet sound on the higher RPMs, but I really like that sound personally. I think it’s apart of what makes a 370z so unique.
Really no way of getting rid of that sound without RHFC/RTPs. Definitely part of the sacrifice going with long tube headers. The VQ displacement is much too large to have a good ricer (I said it, because it's unfortunately true) sound, so when the VQ ends up making it, it just sounds fake and off-putting, if that makes sense. To each their own, though. I have fi rhfc and their resonated cbe with z1 headers and love it. Sound is rich, full and deep toned without the obnoxious decibel level.
I'm not going to lie, I'm loving my setup! I have considered a full Tomei Y-pipe back because the titanium is lighter, but short from that, this PPE & Greddy setup is perfect IMO
I've been wanting a Z since I was a kid and now that I can afford a new one I'm going with the 2023 Z and even though the VR30 has better tuning potential and is faster out of the box, the VQ37 is just pure heavenly music to my ears. With at least 50 hp less than the new Z, I would get WAY more speeding tickets with the VQ37 just from wanting to hear that note.
I got a set of PPE on my HR and don’t regret it one bit!! Good choice on tuner, been tuned with admin for almost 3 years and it’s a different animal . Have fun !
Sounds amazing, making me push to get my z way sooner ! Only downside is I don’t like how the exhaust tip is about 2 inches poking out I like the flush look but other than that amazing sounds👌🏽
Im so glad to still see the Z coming along. It seems so clean with shifts. After all this time with the RJM pedal, do you still see a difference in how it handles, especially up hills at a stop? Great 📹, keep wm comin
Thanks Aaron! Go for it man, I have no regrets with mine 🙌 I found mine after doing a bunch of searching for 1088 shipped. I've found it much harder to find the same exhaust for sale..
Best high rpm sound of any V6. This sounds like a quieter GT2 class car. There's a Z based company, the name leaves me, but they're popular. They have a ported intake manifold with a proven 30whp horsepower gain. I'm shocked at how much power VQ37's can make. They are near the power levels of a Porsche GT3 of their time. 415hp at 3.8L's in the Porsche. It actually seems doable with a Nissan VQ. Kudos to Nissan. I love the PPE headers. I love the Nissan VQ engines and by the way, I'm a huge Honda fanboy and of course a 2L engine is nothing compared to a 3.7L. I love the 370Z. It's my favorite GT car. The S2000 is my favorite roadster. I really got goosebumps when the engine was at high rpm. I got strong Porsche vibes when i heard it. Good thing you got rid of the OBX. They looked like engine suicide waiting to happen.
stumbled upon your channel by just browsing around watching car stuff, but so far bro I love the content keep up the great work! I'm a Subaru Owner but I love all cars and That VQ sounds amazing man!
Love the setup! Those welds are amazing on the PPE. I went with Z1 headers with art pipes to reduce the drone with Greedy Single CBE love it. Getting retune soon hopefully gain better numbers from my old tune that made 309whp and 12.8 1/4 mile.
You can't go wrong with the Z1 shorties either! It has a different sound to it from long tubes, but still a quality header 👍 Have you done intakes and manifolds yet? I would suggest upgrading those if you haven't before you get a retune & dyno
@@milanmastracci So it seems like Z1 shorties or motordyne are the only two options if you want to go headers and still meet emissions requirements with high flow cats? Am I wrong? I just have FI cat back, which I love, but we always want more, but I also want to meet emissions so I don't have to deal with gov't.
@@07wrxtr1 You can get high flow cats from PPE should you want to run their headers. They have an optional Y pipe that has catalytic converters on it which makes it street legal. Or, if it is easier, find a local shop to you to make up a custom Y pipe with high flow cats. There are options 👍
Great video man..alwayd explaining everything clear.. I got a question... i have the samr problem with my os sensor 2nd bank and i replaced it but still showing the same.. do you know what may be causing this ?
If you like higher pitch I guess. Fast Intentions makes the best long tube headers (firing order designed and scavenging welds inside) and exhaust. This guy is obviously sponsored. With 18” resonators and the carbon fiber cans you get a DEEP low RPM growl (so much so some people think I have a V8) and a formula 1 howl at the top end, and I made 315-320 on a mustang dyno (aka heartbreaker dyno) WITHOUT A TUNE.
When the car did 318whp I saw you tuned the car with ecutek app from admin and so this time you retuned with the same app? And took it to the same local dyno to see the gainz right?
What an amazing exhaust. From the polish to the welds. On point. And equal lengths. Wow. Sounds insane too. When are we going to get mini and Honda stuff?
In defence of the Invidia pipe size, the system used here is also 2.5"OD[63mm ext 60mm int] initially and then opens up to 3" at the X pipe. When I had my Invidia fitted that 2.5"[63mm] diameter was huge compared with what came off but particularly compared with the cat section pipe diameter which I think was even smaller? The stock internal dia at the front is 1.65"[42mm]. That means the cross sectional area difference with 60mm is just over double. That is the critical area for flow because the exhaust gas mass decreases as it cools so the pipe diameter should decrease as it progresses[to save weight], not increase. What diameter are the header pipes between the O2 ports? 2.5" or 3"? Ideally they would be 3" after the collectors because 2.5" at that point is even more restrictive than the 2.5" dia leading to the X pipe because of the heat and increased pressure. My ideal would be those gorgeous equal length headers feeding 3" dia after the collectors through a HF cat into 3" dia to the X pipe and from there 2.5" dia. Did it ever get dynoed with the new sensor?
I have almost the same exact setup. Stillen cai with race upgrade, intake guide, ported upper and lower, ppe long tube headers, nismo diff with 4.08 gear change, all solid bushings and mounts, jwt c2 cams, and a nismo type r exhaust...flex fuel kit tuned on e85.....I'm only at 360whp, but changing out exhaust for a fast intentions x pipe. Good work on your build, hit me up if you want to hear any trials or problems I've had. I have a lot more upgrades and still working on my track 370 nismo.
Would have been nice to see the base run overlaid with that of the various mods. The exhaust note is a clear indication that power is being made. Peak power can also be very misleading that is why it be nice to see the overlaid runs.
Hell yeah man that's awesome! You should leave a total price of all The Mods to get the power that you're at now so people will know if it's in their price range or not
I have a 2019 370Z sport coupe 6MT an recently had a Stillen Gen 3 long tube CAI, a Fast Intentions TDX x-pipe CBE and an EcuTek dyno tune done at Specialty Z in Simi Valley, CA. The peak rwhp is 321 @ 7200 rpm with a uniform 14 to 15% gain in torque across the rev range. It sounds great and is significantly stronger at all rpms. If I didn't live in California I would have installed those PPE headers. BTW: Condolences on what happened to your Z. I still think it's the best affordable buy for a true rwd classic two seater sports car.
That's killer Jimmy! That's a nice jump over the factory numbers. Thanks!! I'm hoping to find a replacement for my Z since I still have most of the mods from it. Never would I have thought that I was eventually going to need to find a replacement.
Now hold on a minute, with the best exhaust on the market..?? Im working on a setup that is partially completed, so far it has deleted the droan- deleted the Rasp trumpet sound !! (Not everyone wants to be in the marching band) just saying, It just sounds low, I still need to install a new equal length exhaust header, and then get'ur retuned bye admin tuning, ive got 310rwhp now, im looking to pickup another 20hp+ when im finished 😎
Hey man, love the video, I have a quick question. Did you notice a low end torque loss with the Greddy exhaust? I was going to spring for this set up and then read that the 3inch exhaust cuts your LE torque.
Sounds awesome mate, would there be any drone with the Invidia CBE paired with these PPE headers do you think? Also did the tune fix the loss of torque down low you noticed when installing the LTH. Thanks
I was thinking of getting Fast Intentions long tube headers with a Motordyne Shockwave catback along with 3" Admin tuning CAIs, EPS 70mm throttle bodies, Z1 lower and upper intake manifolds and an Admin ECUtek tune. After seeing this, I might go for PPE long tube headers, since the FI ones don't appear to be equal length! What made you chose Greddy over Motordyne, are there better gains with Greddy? Great vid! Best channel on YT for Z guys who are looking for info! Keep up the good work! 👌 From a fellow Canadian Z owner
So those are all good parts, but there are slightly better parts out there for the same price. I didn't find any other long-tube equal-length headers for this platform, so the PPE's were the way to go. The Greddy exhaust I know is high quality since I've owned another one of their exhausts on a different car. The piping looked to the best largest out there, and the price point was very reasonable. I thought it was a no brainer 🙌 Thank you! I appreciate it 👊
How weird it is to see a not bad sounding v6. I'm impressed. Out of all engine designs I believe v6's are the hardest to tune exhaust to get rid of drone and have deep tone. Cheers.
Its the headers! As soon as you steer away from unequal length OEM-style manifolds, it totally changes the sound. Long-tube equal length all the things 😍
Stock headers, motordyne art pipes, stillen catback exhaust, injen intakes on my 14' Q50 which is 3.7 made 339whp and 270ftlb of torque. No ported plenums either 🤷
I have a lot less mods I have berk test pipes, silicone intake tubes and kn filters on stock intakes. borla s type catback I made a little less wheel horsepower 327 but torque was 268 also tuned by admin tuning,the tuner was surprised as well and dyno jet as well.
Use ARP head studs and nuts. Always tighten from the middle out, never top to bottom or visea versa. It will stop it from blowing 3 months down the road. Great looking and sounding note at the top end. What was the power comparison with the old system at the bottom end, say 4000rpm and below
@@milanmastracci Glorious sound either way. 50+ bhp at the top takes a lot of knowledge and development work. Like you so rightly say "You get what you pay for"👌
Nice headers a little pricey. Found they give the most at the top end. Cats and the Y pipe are the biggest restrictions on the Z. Still opening up the exhaust will yield some good gains. To me it's $/hp. :-)
You do very well bro, one thing I want to mention that is the Stock exhaust manifold isn't inferior past 2k rpm, try test pipes (most restriction) and a Y pipe with stock exhaust manifold and then with the best headers and plz tell me you gain more than 2whp?
Hey! I have same Catback + berk resonated test pipes. Yes, it is loud and 3K drone, but do not worry. Drone will reduce little bit in a couple months. Im finding headers, but i think i will go with catted headers or short + cat pipes. I will check once you fix O2 sensor. Good luck!
Sick set up!! Funny though i had the same bank 2 problem at the time of my tune after having longtubes put in.. Did Moncef recommend you extending the o2 sensor wiring from the engine harness? This will help prevent problems with the extensions. Always enjoy ur 370z videos. Learns alot🤓
So with the PPEs, you NEED to use the extenders that come with the headers because the primary location of the O2 sensors gets pushed to at the backside of the collector. I'm going to make sure I have the extensions properly connected first, before buying a new sensor. A new primary is like $300..
On my 240sx when i went from the oem manifold to a set of 4 - 1 headers, i LOST all of my low end torque but gained a TON of top end power, didn't like it at all so i went back to my oem header for that insane low end torque that i wanted. I am NOT for that high reving wait for it power. When i hit the gas pedal, i want it to GO ...
Damm...that performance was sick (despite driver O2 sensor issue). I have the Kinetic Hi-Flo Catalytic, so want to stay legal for moves to smog check states. Right now,I am working on upgrading Suspension & Stabilizers. Are you going to do the Phelm Mod & replace Hi-Flo Sensor upgrade? This is something under my consideration for 07' Z33 Roadster Touring next Power Boost and get 1st Official Tune.
Ikr, not too bad for it 'limping' 👊 Good call with the suspension upgrades! I would do suspension and handling before more power. I'm not sure what the Phelm Mod is. Do you mind explaining to me what it is?
@@milanmastracci ...😆 Can't wait to see the Tune w/ full strength. Oops... I meant to refer properly Port Lower Intake Manifold + Intake Plenum Power Mod.
Very nice sound, what kind of collector do you have on the headers is’t the Parallel Merge or Formed Collector ? Looking to buy one and not sure if makes a difference in sound and how much of a difference in power well it make. hope you can help thanks 🙏🏽
Dude so I’m throwing codes p1148, and p0031 which is passenger side 02, was it the upstream sensor or the rear sensor. I’m trying to make as much power as possible
Sounds amazing man. You pretty much confirmed me getting these. I currently also have Greddy Evo exhaust right now. Was debating on getting these headers or ISR but man these did it. Why didn't you put ceramic coating on them btw?
You can't go wrong with these headers! I didn't because I wanted to ensure they fit prior to the coatings. I will be removing them, coating them, and also wrapping them to insulate the pipes 👍
So I can get to hearing those revs!!!!! I love V6’s that sound like Buick Gran nationals. You’ve impressed YT with a +50hp gain from the exhaust alone that’s badass engineering
I always suspected the VQ cow noises were due to the unequal length headers. You just confirmed it! Every 350Z/G35 with even length headers sounds exotic! This has a Porsche vibe to it, great job! P.S. Beautiful video quality, what camera setup are you using?
Its crazy how much of a difference it makes, both power wise and audibly! LOVE IT!! 🙌 Thank you! I'm using a Panasonic GH5 with an arrangement of different lenses.
So I’m in love with your set up but in my area, cops a pretty hard on loud vehicles. Never considered a Valve cut off for your exhaust??? I’ll definitely have to consider that before spending that much money on a full exhaust that’s probably even illegal here. They go adter the noise though...
Got the Greddy Evolution GT exhaust on my Z with Motordyne Art Pipes, still have stock manifolds. Sounds great, drone at 3k has gotten better with miles or maybe I’m just getting used to it. Anyways great looking build.
I would say remove the stock manifolds and swap them for Z1's. You'll notice it will breathe better and sound less trumpet-y. I'm thinking about changing the final drive to a longer gear, so I will be in the 2800-3200 RPM range less. Thanks Frank! 👊
Hey, I'm a 350z owner. Wanted to ask if you had to deal with any coolant system disassembly while installing longtubes, as I'm not experienced with the vq37. I had to nearly tear apart everything on the passenger side to get enough clearance to torque down the nuts on the manifold studs
I bought the same exhaust for my Z but I'm trying to find a good high flow cat setup for Texas. Just deleting the cats would be great but passing inspection is kind of nice haha. This setup sounds really dope
@@k1llerlunat1c78 i'm actually running the AAM resonated HFC and passed past year after a tune but I want to say texas is visual-only in a lot of places
It's hard to say for your case since I see you said you put on CAI first. I did my exhaust and cats before i did z1 CAI and got tuned same day. Before the CAI, no consistent CEL but did get some popups for post cat too lean etc and it would go away. I legit feel like everyone's gonna be a little different for the Z setups specifically for HFC even with those O2 sensor extensions etc. Highly recommend getting a tune to correct all that. Guy at a shop told me once that as long as you don't go in for inspection with a CEL on you should probably be good to pass
The sound of this thing at both low and high revs is freaking amazing. I own a 370z and absolutely love it. Even enjoy the sound. I’d never have said it could sound exotic tho. This thing absolutely does.

(Not everyone wants to be in the marching band) just saying, It just sounds low, I still need to install a new equal length exhaust header, and then get'ur retuned bye admin tuning, ive got 310rwhp now, im looking to pickup another 20hp+ when im finished 😎
Hey man, love the video, I have a quick question. Did you notice a low end torque loss with the Greddy exhaust?
I was going to spring for this set up and then read that the 3inch exhaust cuts your LE torque.
PPE Headers are magic
So true!! They're unreal 🔥
Gotta appreciate your clean setup!
Thanks man! 👊
Can’t wait to get me some ppe loan tube headers !
Sounds awesome mate, would there be any drone with the Invidia CBE paired with these PPE headers do you think? Also did the tune fix the loss of torque down low you noticed when installing the LTH. Thanks
I was thinking of getting Fast Intentions long tube headers with a Motordyne Shockwave catback along with 3" Admin tuning CAIs, EPS 70mm throttle bodies, Z1 lower and upper intake manifolds and an Admin ECUtek tune. After seeing this, I might go for PPE long tube headers, since the FI ones don't appear to be equal length! What made you chose Greddy over Motordyne, are there better gains with Greddy? Great vid! Best channel on YT for Z guys who are looking for info! Keep up the good work! 👌 From a fellow Canadian Z owner
So those are all good parts, but there are slightly better parts out there for the same price. I didn't find any other long-tube equal-length headers for this platform, so the PPE's were the way to go. The Greddy exhaust I know is high quality since I've owned another one of their exhausts on a different car. The piping looked to the best largest out there, and the price point was very reasonable. I thought it was a no brainer 🙌 Thank you! I appreciate it 👊
make sure to upgrade brakes when ur having all that power bro stay safe
How weird it is to see a not bad sounding v6. I'm impressed. Out of all engine designs I believe v6's are the hardest to tune exhaust to get rid of drone and have deep tone. Cheers.
Its the headers! As soon as you steer away from unequal length OEM-style manifolds, it totally changes the sound. Long-tube equal length all the things 😍
Stock headers, motordyne art pipes, stillen catback exhaust, injen intakes on my 14' Q50 which is 3.7 made 339whp and 270ftlb of torque. No ported plenums either 🤷
Dude i watched ur dubble clutch and i alwayst thought it was like going from 2-4 lol
Nice set up bro! ❤ didn't go your route. Went with motordyne exaust with art pipes and Z1 headers 😊 great video.
Thanks brother! That sounds like a nice setup too. Got a video of it? I'd love to hear it.
Don't have a youtube channel. I did post a Lil something on z1 motorsports fb page lol.
Id love to do these, but annual compliance in my country would have a go at me (for the cat delete) lol
Finally i found the sound i want for my 370z. Perfection. What do i need to get this built in the 370z?
I have a lot less mods I have berk test pipes, silicone intake tubes and kn filters on stock intakes. borla s type catback I made a little less wheel horsepower 327 but torque was 268 also tuned by admin tuning,the tuner was surprised as well and dyno jet as well.
The correction factor, and altitude make a big difference
@@milanmastracci never even thought about that but that makes sense, I’m in nyc area.
Looks good and sounds just as good! 3 inch intakes next??
Use ARP head studs and nuts. Always tighten from the middle out, never top to bottom or visea versa.
It will stop it from blowing 3 months down the road.
Great looking and sounding note at the top end.
What was the power comparison with the old system at the bottom end, say 4000rpm and below
Its hard to say since all of my dyno pulls were from 3000 RPM and upwards. Drivability seems to be identical down low
@@milanmastracci Glorious sound either way. 50+ bhp at the top takes a lot of knowledge and development work.
Like you so rightly say "You get what you pay for"👌
Nice headers a little pricey. Found they give the most at the top end. Cats and the Y pipe are the biggest restrictions on the Z. Still opening up the exhaust will yield some good gains. To me it's $/hp. :-)
You do very well bro, one thing I want to mention that is the Stock exhaust manifold isn't inferior past 2k rpm, try test pipes (most restriction) and a Y pipe with stock exhaust manifold and then with the best headers and plz tell me you gain more than 2whp?
Looking good bud ! Keep it up sounds mint
Thanks bro I appreciate it 🙌
Awesome setup man
Sounds great 👍
Hey! I have same Catback + berk resonated test pipes. Yes, it is loud and 3K drone, but do not worry. Drone will reduce little bit in a couple months. Im finding headers, but i think i will go with catted headers or short + cat pipes. I will check once you fix O2 sensor. Good luck!
Some Z1 shorty headers might be what you want. I'm loving these long tubes though 🙌 Gonna look into the O2 sensor problem
@@milanmastracci Perfect, I will see how much HP you got after that. Saludos Paulo
I'll be sure to put out the new dyno video when I get that done 👍
Sick set up!! Funny though i had the same bank 2 problem at the time of my tune after having longtubes put in.. Did Moncef recommend you extending the o2 sensor wiring from the engine harness? This will help prevent problems with the extensions. Always enjoy ur 370z videos. Learns alot🤓
So with the PPEs, you NEED to use the extenders that come with the headers because the primary location of the O2 sensors gets pushed to at the backside of the collector. I'm going to make sure I have the extensions properly connected first, before buying a new sensor. A new primary is like $300..
On my 240sx when i went from the oem manifold to a set of 4 - 1 headers, i LOST all of my low end torque but gained a TON of top end power, didn't like it at all so i went back to my oem header for that insane low end torque that i wanted.
I am NOT for that high reving wait for it power. When i hit the gas pedal, i want it to GO ...
Good move. So many aftermarket parts are shiny junk
Damm...that performance was sick (despite driver O2 sensor issue). I have the Kinetic Hi-Flo Catalytic, so want to stay legal for moves to smog check states. Right now,I am working on upgrading Suspension & Stabilizers.
Are you going to do the Phelm Mod & replace Hi-Flo Sensor upgrade?
This is something under my consideration for 07' Z33 Roadster Touring next Power Boost and get 1st Official Tune.
Ikr, not too bad for it 'limping' 👊
Good call with the suspension upgrades! I would do suspension and handling before more power. I'm not sure what the Phelm Mod is. Do you mind explaining to me what it is?
@@milanmastracci ...😆 Can't wait to see the Tune w/ full strength. Oops... I meant to refer properly Port Lower Intake Manifold + Intake Plenum Power Mod.
Very nice sound, what kind of collector do you have on the headers is’t the Parallel Merge or Formed Collector ?
Looking to buy one and not sure if makes a difference in sound and how much of a difference in power well it make. hope you can help thanks 🙏🏽
Dude so I’m throwing codes p1148, and p0031 which is passenger side 02, was it the upstream sensor or the rear sensor. I’m trying to make as much power as possible
Gran turismo style cinematics
Glad you liked that 👊
Run it down the 1/4 your time slip esp mph will tell what you gained.
If primary tubes are sized right long tubes should pick up torque most places.
Sounds amazing man. You pretty much confirmed me getting these. I currently also have Greddy Evo exhaust right now. Was debating on getting these headers or ISR but man these did it. Why didn't you put ceramic coating on them btw?
You can't go wrong with these headers! I didn't because I wanted to ensure they fit prior to the coatings. I will be removing them, coating them, and also wrapping them to insulate the pipes 👍
@@milanmastracci Appreciate the response man. Have you dyno'd the car yet?
Sounds great 👍🏻 bought a used Motordyne but the shipper flaked thinking about grabbing this instead
You won't regret it 👍
Wow this is a perfect review
Glad you think so! ❤️
Awesome video man!!
Thanks buddy! I appreciate it 👊
@@milanmastracci no problem!
Honestly we need more time stamps in this world
What do you mean by time stamps? For what purpose?
So I can get to hearing those revs!!!!! I love V6’s that sound like Buick Gran nationals. You’ve impressed YT with a +50hp gain from the exhaust alone that’s badass engineering
Love the content! Keep it up! Btw what wheels and specs are the wheels! Thanks
I always suspected the VQ cow noises were due to the unequal length headers. You just confirmed it! Every 350Z/G35 with even length headers sounds exotic! This has a Porsche vibe to it, great job!
P.S. Beautiful video quality, what camera setup are you using?
Its crazy how much of a difference it makes, both power wise and audibly! LOVE IT!! 🙌
Thank you! I'm using a Panasonic GH5 with an arrangement of different lenses.
So I’m in love with your set up but in my area, cops a pretty hard on loud vehicles. Never considered a Valve cut off for your exhaust??? I’ll definitely have to consider that before spending that much money on a full exhaust that’s probably even illegal here. They go adter the noise though...
Will this setup pass emissions? It sounds great!
Got the Greddy Evolution GT exhaust on my Z with Motordyne Art Pipes, still have stock manifolds. Sounds great, drone at 3k has gotten better with miles or maybe I’m just getting used to it. Anyways great looking build.
I would say remove the stock manifolds and swap them for Z1's. You'll notice it will breathe better and sound less trumpet-y. I'm thinking about changing the final drive to a longer gear, so I will be in the 2800-3200 RPM range less. Thanks Frank! 👊
@@milanmastracci I'm pretty sure z1's intake manifold is plastic!!! I'm going to save for a GTR manifold!
Milan. What’s the difference between copper and metal anti seize? Would you ming sharing a video where to use it?
I was just looking for your channel (and failed) before TH-cam have you show up.
Just remember MilMast and it will come up 👍
@@milanmastracci I subscribed. Great videos!
Love the look of those rims! Are they in-fact Enkei RS05RR?
Thanks Mike! They are indeed. 18x10.5 with 285's all around
To bad I can’t do this in California without getting state reffed....
Hey, I'm a 350z owner. Wanted to ask if you had to deal with any coolant system disassembly while installing longtubes, as I'm not experienced with the vq37. I had to nearly tear apart everything on the passenger side to get enough clearance to torque down the nuts on the manifold studs
Car parts are like tattoos, good work isn’t cheap and cheap work isn’t good! You get what you pay for! The long tubes on my Trailblazer SS were $1800
You should do a camshaft upgrade
Ughhhh I've been looking into them but it means so much has to come out.. I might as well build the motor at that point
@@milanmastracci That's called future proofing 😉
Super quality video, best sounding Z imo, but the PPE pipes are out of stock ):
Thanks Matt! There's a reason why they don't stay on shelves ;)
Great build! By any chance know If Greddy makes an exhaust system like this for a Nissan Skyline R31? Thanks in advance
Outstanding
Thanks Joe! 🔥
The sound of the V6 is great, I love it. On which website can we find this exhaust manifold?
PPE headers makes the manifold that I have on this car
Sounds incredible.
Its intoxicating when revving it out to 8k 😍
I bought the same exhaust for my Z but I'm trying to find a good high flow cat setup for Texas. Just deleting the cats would be great but passing inspection is kind of nice haha. This setup sounds really dope
You just need a tune to pass just get longtubes and call it a day
Yo man, I’m building my z and currently only have Stillen gen3 cai, I want to pass inspection to so what HFC did you go with??
@@k1llerlunat1c78 i'm actually running the AAM resonated HFC and passed past year after a tune but I want to say texas is visual-only in a lot of places
@@rasterous Thank you for the reply did the AAM HFC’s throw CEL or did you have any issues with them?? If not then I’m going to purchase them.
It's hard to say for your case since I see you said you put on CAI first. I did my exhaust and cats before i did z1 CAI and got tuned same day. Before the CAI, no consistent CEL but did get some popups for post cat too lean etc and it would go away. I legit feel like everyone's gonna be a little different for the Z setups specifically for HFC even with those O2 sensor extensions etc. Highly recommend getting a tune to correct all that. Guy at a shop told me once that as long as you don't go in for inspection with a CEL on you should probably be good to pass
Did you consider painting and heat wrapping those headers? Would like to hear your take on that? Great video > Appreciate it !
I did. I want to figure out a heat solution for not cooking the engine bay. Gonna look into something a bit better than standard fibreglass wrap
any tips on getting the flanges to seal on the greddy evo gt cabback?
