I got them direct from Crawford Z Car, http://crawfordz.com/

In fact, that was the cheapest place I could find them, for $453 directly from them. Everywhere else online was more expensive, go figure.

I have been looking around for month or two for a 07/08 HR Y PIPE now for a Z. Any ideas on where to get one?? Anybody? I have posted on the Z forum and exhausted Craigslist looking. I though they were "everywhere"...

I alos posted on my350Z.com and didnt get any responses. Instead I kept looking on the my350z.com boards every day for a week or so and found a guy selling and made an offer right away. Just gotta keep an eye out.

Try this guy inthe marketplace... https://g35driver.com/forums/exhaust...50z-ypipe.html

or this one...https://g35driver.com/forums/exhaust...-mid-pipe.html

It is for $125. I picked mine up for $110. My gains were from the exhaust mods coupled with the intake and plenum spacer. I had the intake and plenum spacer when i did my baseline...which was pretty crappy. I think it was due to not having any way to exhaust all that extra incoming air. Well, after the cats and y-pipe, it made a world of difference. You have any other engine/exhaust mods?

My very near future I will have a HR y pipe, already found a coupe mid.
I just received the Z tube I ordered and waiting on the 06MT rev up airbox with K&N drop in. I am going to order the Plenum 5/16'' with it. I am going to install it all at once. Then see how i like the sound. If I need more power/sound, I am going to add the HKS to finish it out.

$175 is too much. I would look for the 350Z HR Y-Pipes. I believe the G37 Y-Pipes had a slightly smaller diameter inlets at the beginning of the pipe. Plus, the 350Z HR-Y-pipe is the same one used on the Nismo 350Z exhaust. (Nismo exhaust was just a different muffler I believe, I could be wrong).

"Apparently Nissan at some point decided to flare the piping on the down tubes right as it begins and comes off the cats. But it is only flared for about 3-4" then goes back into the 1.75" piping, exiting the collector @ 2.25" which matches the mid pipe."

175 for the wrong pipe, I say hell no lol. Look on craigslist www.craiglook.com search and find out of they will ship. Almost everyone I asked said they would ship, and they dont know how much these are really worth
