Motordyne ART Pipes. Can Helmholtz Resonance Be Utilized to Make More Power? Having taken a break from busting fuel treatments to find that the G-Tech is surprisingly accurate (April, '10), and settle the lightweight flywheels/torque debate (May, '10), you can imagine how sadistically happy we were when we caught wind of these products from Motordyne: ART (Advanced Resonance Tuning) test pipes and resonated Shockwave V2 exhaust, designed to increase power over traditional aftermarket alternatives by using chambers that trigger Helmholtz resonance to aide in exhaust gas scavenging for increased power. Shyeah . . . and that rich Nigerian prince who keeps emailing us about cashing his inheritance check is totally legit. Now, Helmholtz resonance is a scientifically proven phenomenon. The property can be demonstrated with a glass bottle: As air is blown across the top of the bottle, some enters it, is momentarily compressed, and then surges outward at a slightly faster rate than it went in, creating a vacuum that draws more air back into the bottle to continue the process. Proof of this oscillation of air can be heard in the tone or frequency emitted by doing so. In the case of the products at hand, exhaust gasses are blown across built-in resonance chambers, and the frequency of pressure waves created therein pushes exhaust gas through the tubing and out into the atmosphere. Now, if Motordyne has one thing working toward their credit, it's that they're by no means an upstart company. Remember the plenum spacers that have become mainstays in 350Z tuning for their simple, low-buck design and solid power gains? Turns out Motordyne owner Tony Colette was a rocket scientist in his previous profession (no, seriously-he was), and he invented those. "Not only will the resonance chambers increase scavenging and power," Tony promises about his new products, "but the titanium tips on the Shockwave exhaust also reduce pressure drop by gradually expanding the exhaust gas to recover its dynamic pressure," which, he claims, also helps increase scavenging. Exhaust tips for power? We were really looking forward to the dyno. To test Motordyne's claims with its ART products, we gathered Ken Kojima's '06 Nissan 350Z, equipped with a reputable "Brand X" test-pipe and exhaust, to the Dynojet rollers of Yimisport Tuning in Santa Clarita, CA, where it was baselined, then tested with Motordyne's ART pipes and resonated ShockWave V2 exhaust in place of its original aftermarket vendible. With Motordyne's ART test-pipes and resonated Shockwave V2 exhaust installed, gains as high as 9.4 whp and 17 lb-ft of torque were found throughout the '04 350Z's powerband-impressive, considering we were already testing against proven aftermarket upgrades, but Tony wasn't happy. Ken's car had been fitted with a cone filter/short-tube intake that, he suspected, was wreaking havoc on the car's MAF sensor, triggering the unusually rich air/fuel ratios throughout the duration of testing. Tony promised his products were good for even more power, and arranged an '07 Nissan 350Z (Rev-Up) as a second test car to prove it. With its factory flat-panel air filter and box installed on the '07 350Z, testing re-commenced. Replacing the car's stock cat-back exhaust with Motordyne's Shockwave V2 produced as much as 22.7 whp and 17.9 lb-ft of torque at points in the powerband, and where the "Brand X" test-pipes produced as much as 23.3 whp and 31.8 lb-ft of torque over the stock cats at some points, Motordyne's ART test-pipes increased their output by an additional 11.2 whp and 29.7 lb-ft of torque at varying rpm. Air/fuel ratios stayed in their normal range this time, and power gains-as promised-were more plentiful. The Verdict: Fact Tested on two different cars, with two (slightly) different engines, compared to two different aftermarket manufacturers' conventional products, the gains by which Motordyne's resonance-chamber-equipped products increased power were definite. Now, you might be wondering what would happen if a different exhaust is used with the ART test-pipes, or if the Shockwave V exhaust would make power with the stock cats. Would the difference in airflow throw off the whole system and negate power gains?' "Think of blowing across that bottle," explains Tony. "If you blow harder, with more air, the frequency doesn't change but the volume or amplitude does. It's the same here. More air means even more resonance and more scavenging." Still, what happened in our first test? "350Zs have a problem with certain short-tube intakes," explains Tony. "Depending on their design, we think they direct air toward the car's MAF sensor a certain way that triggers an improper injection of fuel, which decreases power." He continues, "It's a well-documented problem, but as far as I know, no one's ever gotten to the bottom of it." Sounds like we have a topic for next month. www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/engine/impp-1006-nissan-350z-motordyne-fact-or-fiction/

he is basically saying "put this exact exhaust on its the only one that doesn't drone." bro i spent 340 bucks on a muffler, and the cost for a shop to weld my muffler on, and take the resonator out, and i have zero drone. you dont have to spend a lot on a full exhaust. you just need to know what to put on or take off to get the sound you desire with no drone.

No disrespect intended, but I want to be the next Motordyne G35..😁 I've been lurking thru all your vlogs listening, watching, and learning. I got what it takes. It's a 2006 Coupe RAS. Bought from a collector in 2018 with 15k original miles. He's and older guy, and was making room for more cars. The G is a legit garage queen. When this guy ordered the car in 2005 (Texas Infiniti Dealer) he spec'd it with every performance option you could get, including the first year available on the G35, the RAS (Rear Active Steering) 2006 it was first time offered, at $750.00 Coupled with the Sport Package, Aero Package, Sport tuned suspension, 19" forged Ray's (staggered 224 front 225 rear) Intelli keyless (no key to start car, or to get in) blutooth, hands free cell phone, Bose Premium, Drilled Aluminum Pedals, Leather Steering Wheel Orange Stitched, 2 driver position memory seats and Steering wheel, Diamond Graphite Paint, over Stone Grey Leather interior...LOL, just to name a few.... -but I wanted to ask you. You have many years of documented ownership with mods and maintenance. Like no other G35 owner I've seen on You-Tube, or anyone I've ever heard of, besides myself, being the same way you are. Meticulous record keeping increases value of the car. But ..if there was anything you would or could do differently, what would those things be? 🤔 Thank You in advance 🤙 G35family@gmail.com @Speed Racer
“...So when ur ready to lay the power down and u don’t want ur car bouncing around like a gdamn bunny rabbit shaking the shit out of ur car....” This made the video so worth watching 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Motordyne G35 just because you paid $40,000 for a car does not mean it is still worth that. 350Z can be picked up all day $8,000 and under. So $2,700 in exhaust is over priced. Especially when a DSM or Honda will tear your shit up on the track with that $2,700 put into mods. 350Z and G35 are good looking cars, but after watching this video I have lost interest. By the time you invest the cash to make a G35 sound good for a V6 NA, get it to handle good and add in the car's initial price, you are better off buying a C5 Corvette.
ECOBOOST Luke.............I never said the car is still worth $40,000. That is what I paid for it 12 years ago. These mods seem so expensive because people are looking at today's cars and car depression values. Remember, I had these mods on my car years and years ago, I just got a professional camera and started uploading content to document my old mods. I have not had a car payment in 7 years. What is sad, is a V8 C5 came with 350HP and a v6 G35 6MT came with 300HP. Corvettes and Mustangs are like assholes, everyone has one and there is nothing special about owning either car. I would never purchase a Mustang or a Corvette. Please do go buy a C5, a G35 is not for you. You will see way more mid-life crisis Corvette owners on the road then class act G35's. My next car is an AMG Mercedes all the way. CLS63 AMG>
Motordyne G35. Dude, I really love your car (except that it's black - not my preference ;-)) but it is really great (IMO) all around. I believe you want to turbo later on and I fully agree with you; that'll make it even more amazing. I do have ONE small comment though and don't take this the wrong way ok, but you really MUST get the JDM surround trim for the double-DIN stereo in center console - the one you have now is not up to par with an Infiniti finish. I respect that you've not been afraid to spend $ on the best performance parts but the trim you have just makes it cheap, you know? I've seen those before and believe me, you'll appreciate the JDM much more. Otherwise TY for the vids - always super-informative. Cheers
Jeoka Gem .....I did the install myself and I know, the JDM trim piece is still on my list. After some new Work wheels and OG duck bill trunk, then the JDM trim piece. No offense taken, thanks for the feedback.
Top NA motor mods. jenvey ITBs...but if too expensive... 4" custom intake. Enlarged/ gutted OEM plenum. NWP Throttle body. Cams SGM longtube headers Large 3.5" custom single exhaust Fuel pump and Injectors Uprev Tune.
Michael Gardner .....yep those are all badass. I would for sure watch your top NA MODs video. Motordyne Shockwave is 2.5" to a progressive 3.0" inch trual dual.
Michael Gardner The nissan titans 90mm throttle body would be a better option for your 4in intake. It's from nissan so it bolts right up. But does it fit under our hood. Idk. Someone should try it.
Awesome video,beautiful G,I will start saving for those mods,you also answered my wheel hop question I would always wonder why it would do that when I would dump the clutch .
i have a magnaflow street series muffler and a reso delete, with no drone. you just gotta get the right stuff for a good sound and no drone. and you DONT have to overpay for an full cat back. i paid $140 to both remove the resonator and put the muffler on, and about 200-300 for the muffler.
I had some questions that i posted yesterday. Seems to have disappeared. I'm impressed with your car and build. You've had this car for 12 years? Amazing.
the preview pic he used for the video was a guys g35 from arizona up in the valley his name is christain..that car was a beauty he rolled my fenders on my altima sedan when i had it i still see him on the AZVQ group he dosnt have the car anymore he sold it to some dude in vegas..shit was nice tons of mod..cool guy too
yo man, I've just recently started watching your videos and damn I'm kind of proud that you're in AZ too haha. I just got my g35 like 2 months ago too. keep up the good work!
@Motordyne The best mod is individual throttle bodies for NA. Over simply ONE throttle body that is only 5mm bigger than stock...Nitrous kit, turbo/supercharger kit and plenum/plenum spacer follow second best mods, then test pipes and the rest of the exhaust y-pipe/mid, exle back or a REAL catback. Ps. Most catbacks AREN'T real catback just ypipe back exhaust. A true catback should bolt straight to your cats or test pipes. Most 99 percent of the exhaust system are just mid pipe with resonator and a muffler aka rice cannon/rice can. Do your own custom exhaust. Just a mid pipe and a muffler of your choice. If you would want a full exhaust you need y pipe, test pipes, and headers (no headers if you have twins, just downpipes) . And cams and tune
And ppl think of these as alot of mods. They arent. Most ppl do cai, plenum spacer or plenum, throttle body and throttle body spacer, underdrive pullies, and FULL exhaust. From the headers to the tips. And tune. All in all this should be around an extra 50 to 90whp. A big difference you can feel. A 100 shot of nitrous for more cheap easy power. A 100 shot gets you an extra 80-110whp depending on bottle temp.
Good report. Well built VQDE alright, you have done your research. Thumbs up! Hope to more VQDE videos. BTW, any plans going for angle kit and/or 2-way LSD?
That exhaust sounds good man.. above average.. costs above average too. I've owned both the g37 and g35 now. Do you agree that the g37 has a better looking front and the g35 has a better looking rear?
I had a 2013 G37x sedan and actually prefer the G35 in every way. The only real advantage the G37 has is the heightened technology with the Navi / Stereo / Car interface. But for those of you who really care about good audio, the G35 BOSE Version sounds much better than the muddy, sloppy BOSE system in the G37. My old 2006 Trailblazer had a better stereo than this joke of a system in the G37! lol
@@1970borntorun I think both stereos were garbage. I had top of the line kicker Q series 6x9's and a little hard hitting 10 inch sub. installed in the g35 With focal speakers in front. I spent about 2 grand on the install and that was a nice sounding system. Only reason I would hesitate to get a stereo like that again is cause i was constantly killing my battery. All i had to do was have the car in the on position with out the engine running for about 15 minute and the amps would suck the battery dry. That was with only about 900 watts (RMS) of power too so not even very much. Other than that there was no downsides and the car sounded amazing. I build a frame enclosure to hold my subwoofer in the trunk so i could slide the tires around corners with out the sub bashing around.
I have berk ressonanted test pipes with an invida gemeni exhaust, lmao you font need to spend $4000 on an exhaust system for it to sound good. And those berk pipes actually give no rasp
Why was the 5/16 intake plenum spacer not on there? Its a common first mod that has been proven. Its price can range from $80-$300 depending on brand and where you buy. If you have a stock upper you should consider one before your next tune. NOTE: Applies to NON REV-UP more. You ever test out a non rev-up LOWER half on the dyno with your mods?
I agree, but it did not make my top 7 mods. My other mods cost much, much more and I do have the MD 5/16th spacer. Dyno tuned +37whp/45wtq........th-cam.com/video/ISFOKiAOTmw/w-d-xo.html Performance Mods: - KW v3 Coilovers - Injen CAI - NWP 75mm throttle body - Motordyne MREV2 - Motordyne 5/16th spacer - Motordyne v3 ART pipes - Motordyne Shockwave TDX2 exhaust. Tuned Numbers: 283whp/270wtq
I missed the bottom half of your paragraph, sorry. You are correct. On the rev-up a 5/16th spacer does nothing unless paired with MREV2, which is a modified lower non-rev plenum by Motordyne. The first 2 runners choke out cylinder 1 and 3, so they are shaved down. For a non rev, the 5/16th spacer makes a big difference. On the rev-up motor, which I have, you need both, MREV2 and 5/16th for it to work.
Nice... I will start to finally work on my G... We have similar mods as far as power, except I need the tdx Exhaust... I bought the car with stick exhaust which has a maganaflow axleback only lol...horrible... I say stock or motordyne is best. I have the the furookie 3.5 inch intake with Nwp TB's, I also went with nonstoptuning lightweight pulleys instead of goin underdrive. I plan on doing KW V3 or, kparlett's g35 is rocking BC type coilovers for the track but his version are as much as kw... So idk... Maybe ill stick with KW. Last addition I'll get during exhaust switch out will be the full CF driveshaft. But yeah, this is what I've been wanting to do for all while, so seeing your mods done, I look forward to getting mine done and being at that similar power level. Mines not rev up tho
kparlett's g35.......I just youtubed that and holy shit is that channel awesome! I just clicked subscribed. Let me research what you are talking about on the BC's. KW's v3 are designed for 75-90% street use, but a guy did a complete review on superstreet on how it cut down is lap time by 2 secs, just from changing to KW. For a car that is 99% used for the track, KW's spring rates will be too soft.
Yeah that's my predicament lol. My Z is set for the track, but I might want similar track settings just because ...but then I know for the daily comfort feel, I'll want KW. KParlett also has the IG I follow. That's where I asked about his coilover set up
Cynthia bias ....I've been pulled over in Virginia and they took my radar detector. You are correct, but it is known in Virginia it is illegal. That is why I purchased the stealth radar after Virginia took my old radar detector. Bottom line, the west coast is where real freedom is in America. On the east coast, states along with old people are still stuck in their ways, not willing to change.
Beautiful G! What year is it? I have a black 06 6speed Manual, not as mint as yours but I'm working on it. Your videos help me out alot. Thank you for your input.
I have the motor dyne ART Pipes as well as the e370 shock wave on my g37 and i couldn't be more happy with the sound. I'm looking into getting the motor dyne headers as well.
He would be correct, short headers make no power. PPE long tube headers is what I was going to get. When I was at my tuner, he was impressed by the Motordyne ART pipes/Shockwave. He told me, PPE long tube headers would not be worth it. I asked why? He pulled up a dyno graph from another rev-up motor with PPE long tube headers and he overlay-ed it with my curve. The curve was basically identical. PPE long tube headers you will get a bunch of rasp and drone into the exhaust and no more power than you get with ART pipes. I'm in talks with Motordyne to test out their new long tube headers. The collector is down further than they are on the PPE long tube headers. My tuner said, very interesting design and he bets they will make power. I'm like Tony over at motordyne has never lied, so I'm sure they will do what they say. Plus you get the helmholtz chambers to add on the motordyne long tube headers. This will address the rasp and drone issue. I"m interested for sure. They are confirmed to fit the 370z, but not a G35 yet.
Thank you for the rare, intelligent, detailed explanation of your G35 Mods !! 98% of the time on TH-cam, we have some idiot 24 year old that slaps on twin turbos, Nitrous, etc then wonders why his engine explodes 2 days later LOL The Wanna-Be Paul Walker mentality is still very real lol
Bought my g35x sedan for 3000 with 100k on the motor. Everything is in great shape, but I dont wanna spend almost what I paid for the car on a mod. Already have a nice catback exhaust, should I just go with a plenum spacer, test pipes, and new air filter? Seems like my best cheapest options.
Marshall Shermer that wasn't his car, this dude steals people's videos and pictures without their permission all the time. Btw it's a k2 carbon fiber trunk
Hi, I think your videos r very informative and interesting . I was wondering if you still run the same Passport radar detector and how it would work in Canada.
For the dyno tune on just the N/A mods, it's not really worth it, if your going to get a dyno tune, you might as well just supercharge or turbo your VQ35 first
Worth every penny. If I would have supercharged or turbo the motor it would not be running perfectly at 178,000 miles. Rod would have shot through the block by now. The motor was never made for boost and to make the vq be able to handle boost with forged internals will cost 10k along with boost kit. Send me the cash homie and I will do it your way.
Hey, great videos!!! I have a question, you mention ART pipes and The exhaust, but you don’t mention the headers. Are you running stock headers? If so, did you just think headers weren’t worth it??? Motordyne Shockwave exhaust and ART pipes are the set up I want to get, but I’ve been debating if I wat to buy headers (probably stillen) or not bother with the headers. Thank you!
Erick Quezada ....headers are a known waste of money unless long tube headers, but ART pipes have been proven to make same power as PPE long tube headers. So ART pipes with Motordyne Shockwave is the best combo. No need for long tube headers which will also bring rasp and drone into the exhaust system. I looked at Stillen shorty headers a long time ago and after talking with my tuner, I decided not to do it.
Motordyne G35 awesome! Thank you very much for your reply. I’m actually using my tax return to buy my parts. And I was still debating on the headers. But yeah I kind of was more on the NO side. So I think you helped me make my mind. I’ll use my money for another part. Maybe the MREV2 intake manifold. Thank you again! 👍🏼

Motordyne ART Pipes. Can Helmholtz Resonance Be Utilized to Make More Power?

When this guy ordered the car in 2005 (Texas Infiniti Dealer) he spec'd it with every performance option you could get, including the first year available on the G35, the RAS (Rear Active Steering) 2006 it was first time offered, at $750.00 Coupled with the Sport Package, Aero Package, Sport tuned suspension, 19" forged Ray's (staggered 224 front 225 rear) Intelli keyless (no key to start car, or to get in) blutooth, hands free cell phone, Bose Premium, Drilled Aluminum Pedals, Leather Steering Wheel Orange Stitched, 2 driver position memory seats and Steering wheel, Diamond Graphite Paint, over Stone Grey Leather interior...LOL, just to name a few....
-but I wanted to ask you. You have many years of documented ownership with mods and maintenance. Like no other G35 owner I've seen on You-Tube, or anyone I've ever heard of, besides myself, being the same way you are. Meticulous record keeping increases value of the car. But ..if there was anything you would or could do differently, what would those things be? 🤔
Thank You in advance 🤙

“...So when ur ready to lay the power down and u don’t want ur car bouncing around like a gdamn bunny rabbit shaking the shit out of ur car....”
This made the video so worth watching 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That underbody 😍 so clean not a spec of rust
D2 Coilovers are pretty good. I have them and theyre great.
Plenum spacer is a cheap easy bolt on mod too. Especially for 350z 03-04
2,700 that's half the price of the car lol
Tyler Banh .....I paid $40,000 for it in 2005. Car was paid off in 2010. I've owned the car 12 years now.
Tyler Banh please tell me where i can find one of these $5000 g35s
Motordyne G35 just because you paid $40,000 for a car does not mean it is still worth that. 350Z can be picked up all day $8,000 and under. So $2,700 in exhaust is over priced. Especially when a DSM or Honda will tear your shit up on the track with that $2,700 put into mods. 350Z and G35 are good looking cars, but after watching this video I have lost interest. By the time you invest the cash to make a G35 sound good for a V6 NA, get it to handle good and add in the car's initial price, you are better off buying a C5 Corvette.
rwwbeast1 my friend got his for $3,500
ECOBOOST Luke.............I never said the car is still worth $40,000. That is what I paid for it 12 years ago. These mods seem so expensive because people are looking at today's cars and car depression values. Remember, I had these mods on my car years and years ago, I just got a professional camera and started uploading content to document my old mods. I have not had a car payment in 7 years.
What is sad, is a V8 C5 came with 350HP and a v6 G35 6MT came with 300HP. Corvettes and Mustangs are like assholes, everyone has one and there is nothing special about owning either car. I would never purchase a Mustang or a Corvette. Please do go buy a C5, a G35 is not for you. You will see way more mid-life crisis Corvette owners on the road then class act G35's. My next car is an AMG Mercedes all the way. CLS63 AMG>
I didn't realize Motordyne was an exhaust brand...I thought it was just your channel name. :)
can't wait till you get the admin tuning intake, i want to see if it's really that good. great vid btw
Motordyne G35. Dude, I really love your car (except that it's black - not my preference ;-)) but it is really great (IMO) all around. I believe you want to turbo later on and I fully agree with you; that'll make it even more amazing.
I do have ONE small comment though and don't take this the wrong way ok, but you really MUST get the JDM surround trim for the double-DIN stereo in center console - the one you have now is not up to par with an Infiniti finish. I respect that you've not been afraid to spend $ on the best performance parts but the trim you have just makes it cheap, you know? I've seen those before and believe me, you'll appreciate the JDM much more. Otherwise TY for the vids - always super-informative. Cheers
Jeoka Gem .....I did the install myself and I know, the JDM trim piece is still on my list. After some new Work wheels and OG duck bill trunk, then the JDM trim piece. No offense taken, thanks for the feedback.
Black the only color im buying any g in. Next car will be an 06-07 g35 or 2011-2013 g37
Number 8. That 303 cleaner 😂 You convinced me my man 👍🏻 it really does work
My Dude got Migos SLAPPIN in the IN Dash
Nd carti
I love how much you don’t hold your tongue. Great videos
Top NA motor mods.
jenvey ITBs...but if too expensive...
4" custom intake.
Enlarged/ gutted OEM plenum.
NWP Throttle body.
Cams
SGM longtube headers
Large 3.5" custom single exhaust
Fuel pump and Injectors
Uprev Tune.
Oh yah you need the Uprev GT MAF
Michael Gardner .....yep those are all badass. I would for sure watch your top NA MODs video.
Motordyne Shockwave is 2.5" to a progressive 3.0" inch trual dual.
Michael Gardner The nissan titans 90mm throttle body would be a better option for your 4in intake. It's from nissan so it bolts right up. But does it fit under our hood. Idk. Someone should try it.
hidden KARD
Fits in the Xterra 😁
Awesome video,beautiful G,I will start saving for those mods,you also answered my wheel hop question I would always wonder why it would do that when I would dump the clutch .
To those complaining about price, good car parts aren’t cheap, especially for a luxury car. This isn’t a pc where parts are cheap. Its a car
yo slaptrain where you at? I know you're watching this video.
Nice work, nice and clean underneath the car u take really good care of it. That exhaust is nasty
i have a magnaflow street series muffler and a reso delete, with no drone. you just gotta get the right stuff for a good sound and no drone. and you DONT have to overpay for an full cat back. i paid $140 to both remove the resonator and put the muffler on, and about 200-300 for the muffler.
If you don’t have 2700.00 for kw coilovers I recommend bilstein b14 or b16.
I had some questions that i posted yesterday. Seems to have disappeared. I'm impressed with your car and build. You've had this car for 12 years? Amazing.
the preview pic he used for the video was a guys g35 from arizona up in the valley his name is christain..that car was a beauty he rolled my fenders on my altima sedan when i had it i still see him on the AZVQ group he dosnt have the car anymore he sold it to some dude in vegas..shit was nice tons of mod..cool guy too
As soon as they let it rip on the dyno I had to hit the sub button
I love it when people think they are smarter then the engineers when it comes to suspension set up and geometry
yo man, I've just recently started watching your videos and damn I'm kind of proud that you're in AZ too haha. I just got my g35 like 2 months ago too. keep up the good work!
Definitely one of the best N/A modded g35's!!
Cool! Nice job ... Have a low milage 2004 that -needs these mods!
Sedona always the move in the summer.
@Motordyne The best mod is individual throttle bodies for NA. Over simply ONE throttle body that is only 5mm bigger than stock...Nitrous kit, turbo/supercharger kit and plenum/plenum spacer follow second best mods, then test pipes and the rest of the exhaust y-pipe/mid, exle back or a REAL catback. Ps. Most catbacks AREN'T real catback just ypipe back exhaust. A true catback should bolt straight to your cats or test pipes. Most 99 percent of the exhaust system are just mid pipe with resonator and a muffler aka rice cannon/rice can. Do your own custom exhaust. Just a mid pipe and a muffler of your choice. If you would want a full exhaust you need y pipe, test pipes, and headers (no headers if you have twins, just downpipes) . And cams and tune
And ppl think of these as alot of mods. They arent. Most ppl do cai, plenum spacer or plenum, throttle body and throttle body spacer, underdrive pullies, and FULL exhaust. From the headers to the tips. And tune. All in all this should be around an extra 50 to 90whp. A big difference you can feel. A 100 shot of nitrous for more cheap easy power. A 100 shot gets you an extra 80-110whp depending on bottle temp.
Good report. Well built VQDE alright, you have done your research. Thumbs up! Hope to more VQDE videos. BTW, any plans going for angle kit and/or 2-way LSD?
Thank you. No I have not thought of either yet. Maybe a Quaife differential. The VLSD is working fine still.
Oh wow so u didn't include the intake , plenum spacer or mrev in the list, that's interesting.
That exhaust sounds good man.. above average.. costs above average too. I've owned both the g37 and g35 now. Do you agree that the g37 has a better looking front and the g35 has a better looking rear?
I had a 2013 G37x sedan and actually prefer the G35 in every way. The only real advantage the G37 has is the heightened technology with the Navi / Stereo / Car interface. But for those of you who really care about good audio, the G35 BOSE Version sounds much better than the muddy, sloppy BOSE system in the G37. My old 2006 Trailblazer had a better stereo than this joke of a system in the G37! lol
@@1970borntorun I think both stereos were garbage. I had top of the line kicker Q series 6x9's and a little hard hitting 10 inch sub. installed in the g35 With focal speakers in front. I spent about 2 grand on the install and that was a nice sounding system. Only reason I would hesitate to get a stereo like that again is cause i was constantly killing my battery. All i had to do was have the car in the on position with out the engine running for about 15 minute and the amps would suck the battery dry. That was with only about 900 watts (RMS) of power too so not even very much. Other than that there was no downsides and the car sounded amazing. I build a frame enclosure to hold my subwoofer in the trunk so i could slide the tires around corners with out the sub bashing around.
Nice video, I'm a mechanic thinking about buying a g35 here soon, I also live in mesa az!
I’m 15 buying a g35 04 tomorrow these are my future mods for sure 🔥
I have berk ressonanted test pipes with an invida gemeni exhaust, lmao you font need to spend $4000 on an exhaust system for it to sound good. And those berk pipes actually give no rasp
Your g sounds so good man
I see thunder mountain in the back round I’m from Sedona homie
Phill Gritter ....I am from Ohio. I currently live in Phoenix and Sedona is so beautiful. My first time going there and it was awesome!
Why was the 5/16 intake plenum spacer not on there? Its a common first mod that has been proven. Its price can range from $80-$300 depending on brand and where you buy. If you have a stock upper you should consider one before your next tune.
NOTE: Applies to NON REV-UP more.
You ever test out a non rev-up LOWER half on the dyno with your mods?
I agree, but it did not make my top 7 mods. My other mods cost much, much more and I do have the MD 5/16th spacer. Dyno tuned +37whp/45wtq........th-cam.com/video/ISFOKiAOTmw/w-d-xo.html
Performance Mods:
- KW v3 Coilovers
- Injen CAI
- NWP 75mm throttle body
- Motordyne MREV2
- Motordyne 5/16th spacer
- Motordyne v3 ART pipes
- Motordyne Shockwave TDX2 exhaust.
Tuned Numbers: 283whp/270wtq
I missed the bottom half of your paragraph, sorry. You are correct. On the rev-up a 5/16th spacer does nothing unless paired with MREV2, which is a modified lower non-rev plenum by Motordyne. The first 2 runners choke out cylinder 1 and 3, so they are shaved down.
For a non rev, the 5/16th spacer makes a big difference. On the rev-up motor, which I have, you need both, MREV2 and 5/16th for it to work.
What's the brand of passport radar you use? Awesome video, I'm taking notes.
THE EXHAUST SOUNDS AMAZING!!! 😵🔥🔥🔥
The bc racing are like ridding a horse. But the handling is great though
Nice... I will start to finally work on my G... We have similar mods as far as power, except I need the tdx Exhaust... I bought the car with stick exhaust which has a maganaflow axleback only lol...horrible... I say stock or motordyne is best. I have the the furookie 3.5 inch intake with Nwp TB's, I also went with nonstoptuning lightweight pulleys instead of goin underdrive. I plan on doing KW V3 or, kparlett's g35 is rocking BC type coilovers for the track but his version are as much as kw... So idk... Maybe ill stick with KW. Last addition I'll get during exhaust switch out will be the full CF driveshaft. But yeah, this is what I've been wanting to do for all while, so seeing your mods done, I look forward to getting mine done and being at that similar power level. Mines not rev up tho
kparlett's g35.......I just youtubed that and holy shit is that channel awesome! I just clicked subscribed. Let me research what you are talking about on the BC's. KW's v3 are designed for 75-90% street use, but a guy did a complete review on superstreet on how it cut down is lap time by 2 secs, just from changing to KW. For a car that is 99% used for the track, KW's spring rates will be too soft.
Yeah that's my predicament lol. My Z is set for the track, but I might want similar track settings just because ...but then I know for the daily comfort feel, I'll want KW. KParlett also has the IG I follow. That's where I asked about his coilover set up
Haha Great video, i thought you were gonna say forced induction for the #1
NUDVL ......Boost is number 1. I am not there yet. I said in the notes, Top 7 NA MODs. I will be getting boost one day.
Tomeiiii!!!
Im ur 1k sub
Like the exhaust
Same relative price as the Valintine which is 20x better due to its ability to tell you if the threat is in front or behind.
Thank you so much for this video, very informative, badass G man! I have goals now lol
THE BEST
Tomei muffler is life tho
Try that "Bestbuy" logic in Virginia. They'll just write you a ticket for their "commonwealth" !
Cynthia bias ....I've been pulled over in Virginia and they took my radar detector. You are correct, but it is known in Virginia it is illegal. That is why I purchased the stealth radar after Virginia took my old radar detector. Bottom line, the west coast is where real freedom is in America. On the east coast, states along with old people are still stuck in their ways, not willing to change.
Bro i like your videos soon i will get a g35 coupe
Thanks for the video, wish my car was hat hooked up lol.
Beautiful G! What year is it? I have a black 06 6speed Manual, not as mint as yours but I'm working on it. Your videos help me out alot. Thank you for your input.
I have the motor dyne ART Pipes as well as the e370 shock wave on my g37 and i couldn't be more happy with the sound. I'm looking into getting the motor dyne headers as well.
9:03
Angry trumpet
Damn your g35 hard af
If your going NA wouldn't it also be a good idea to get a headers?
Robert Rogers if you ask around on the forums, everyone says that the gains are not worth the money, unless you go with LTH
He would be correct, short headers make no power. PPE long tube headers is what I was going to get. When I was at my tuner, he was impressed by the Motordyne ART pipes/Shockwave. He told me, PPE long tube headers would not be worth it. I asked why? He pulled up a dyno graph from another rev-up motor with PPE long tube headers and he overlay-ed it with my curve. The curve was basically identical. PPE long tube headers you will get a bunch of rasp and drone into the exhaust and no more power than you get with ART pipes.
I'm in talks with Motordyne to test out their new long tube headers. The collector is down further than they are on the PPE long tube headers. My tuner said, very interesting design and he bets they will make power. I'm like Tony over at motordyne has never lied, so I'm sure they will do what they say. Plus you get the helmholtz chambers to add on the motordyne long tube headers. This will address the rasp and drone issue. I"m interested for sure. They are confirmed to fit the 370z, but not a G35 yet.
Robert Rogers had the same answer when I was at my tuner. It's not worth the money/labor for minimal or no gains
lol I got headers and it sounds nice and you can feel the power :)
i like your car very much. Set some goals. lol
Nice tires.
SUBBED
My G Is Complete Garbage Compared To Yours... But Overall This Was A Great Video Man, I'm Hoping One Day I Can Be On Your Same Level
Slik mfa with that radar 😆👌👍
Thank you for the rare, intelligent, detailed explanation of your G35 Mods !! 98% of the time on TH-cam, we have some idiot 24 year old that slaps on twin turbos, Nitrous, etc then wonders why his engine explodes 2 days later LOL The Wanna-Be Paul Walker mentality is still very real lol
Bought my g35x sedan for 3000 with 100k on the motor. Everything is in great shape, but I dont wanna spend almost what I paid for the car on a mod. Already have a nice catback exhaust, should I just go with a plenum spacer, test pipes, and new air filter? Seems like my best cheapest options.
Clean car...
If you pause the video at 15:27 you can see a Tesla Cybertruck in the left corner
Hi, thank you for your uploads.
Does your G35 pass smog regulations in CA??
Hahah no!
Sick mods bruh! My '06 coupe has RAS, any recommendations for aftermarket exhaust kits that'll work with it? Thanks!
I went with the isr set up with blastpipes. Maybe one day I’ll afford something like Kws and a motordyne😅😓
Nice flip flops
when you find out that radar detectors are illegal in your province. EPIC GAMER MOMENT.
No trumpet nosie here ..haha
Whats the link for the radar detector??
I have 2005 automatic G35, would you consider Same modifications completed on yours? If not what would you consider? It has 90K miles.
Very nice interestin why did you go with those coilovers instead of going full airbag.
Nice
question about the motordyne exhaust and test pipes you mentioned. What about passing emissions with it?
You don’t haha, either gotta switch back to oem for smog or gotta know someone to pass you
Hey man what trunk did you get? Looks great and I need a new one!
Marshall Shermer that wasn't his car, this dude steals people's videos and pictures without their permission all the time. Btw it's a k2 carbon fiber trunk
Hi, I think your videos r very informative and interesting . I was wondering if you still run the same Passport radar detector and how it would work in Canada.
good
Brooo im so jealous man lol nice car😊
This nigga rich af
For the dyno tune on just the N/A mods, it's not really worth it, if your going to get a dyno tune, you might as well just supercharge or turbo your VQ35 first
Worth every penny. If I would have supercharged or turbo the motor it would not be running perfectly at 178,000 miles. Rod would have shot through the block by now.
The motor was never made for boost and to make the vq be able to handle boost with forged internals will cost 10k along with boost kit. Send me the cash homie and I will do it your way.
He sounds humble Hahahaha!
Always be yourself!
i love you😂😂😂 5:54
Hey, great videos!!!
I have a question, you mention ART pipes and The exhaust, but you don’t mention the headers. Are you running stock headers? If so, did you just think headers weren’t worth it???
Motordyne Shockwave exhaust and ART pipes are the set up I want to get, but I’ve been debating if I wat to buy headers (probably stillen) or not bother with the headers.
Thank you!
Erick Quezada ....headers are a known waste of money unless long tube headers, but ART pipes have been proven to make same power as PPE long tube headers. So ART pipes with Motordyne Shockwave is the best combo. No need for long tube headers which will also bring rasp and drone into the exhaust system. I looked at Stillen shorty headers a long time ago and after talking with my tuner, I decided not to do it.
Motordyne G35 awesome! Thank you very much for your reply. I’m actually using my tax return to buy my parts. And I was still debating on the headers. But yeah I kind of was more on the NO side. So I think you helped me make my mind. I’ll use my money for another part. Maybe the MREV2 intake manifold.
Thank you again! 👍🏼
