A better idea is to get MotorDynes ART pipes, then save your $$ for a real dual exhaust system which eliminates the y-pipe. This way you get maximum HP and the coolest sound....

i just posted a couple months ago asking if i should go with the hr y pipe or anything else. I went with the motordyne xyz and i love it. Not going to lie it costed $410 pretty pricey but i love the way it sounds with my nismo s tune exhaust. I plan on posting a video soon.

 

I have an 04 btw..

With the Y-pipe, Tanabe exhaust, and a downpipe, would the power be significantly different with headers as well? Or is headers not worth it?

And for spacers, 5/16 Motordyne is the one to go with, correct?

THIS IS SO CONFUSING!!!! ARGH

 

Headers dont do **** for our cars..

 

Yes, get the 5/16 Spacer too.

Once you have all your mods done, get an Osiris tune.

Don't worry about headers unless your getting long tube headers which cost about $1k. Search the forum for long tube headers. Lots of info on them.

 

not true...

yes, if you're non-RevUp headers w/o cams won't do much but w/cams the gains are pretty sizable. if you are RevUp, you can get decent gains on stock cams w/headers.

 

Yeah I was referring to the non revup.. the revup is much more mod friendly..

 

okay. so I'm assuming it's not even worth the money in trying to install the headers..

Y-pipe ... megan is so cheap.. that I feel that it's trash.. any feedback?

 

I have the Megan HR Y pipe with my Nismo S-tune, and I love the way it sounds. Much less restrictive than the stock Y pipe. Really it's going to come down to 1) What are your ultimate plans for your car, and 2) How much money do you have to throw at it?

 

I have a tanabe medalion.. I saw somewhere on the forums that there is raspy(?) sounds from different combinations. Anyone heard of or have this combination of Tanabe + Megan?

Or am I just dumb?

I suck at this car stuff..

And to answer your question, as of now, first I was going to do.

Headers>downpipe>ypipe> with my catback.. (already have intake)

I'll just sell the headers I have since they said headers do nothing for my car...

In about a half a year.. I have some money coming in.. so I was hoping (crosses finger) I could.. or should I... turbo.................... my car? ....... I will maybe have 6-7k....

 

Did you get the resonated xyz pipe? or straight? Right now i have test pipes with a coupe middy and a magnaflow muffler. rasp is bad. i wanna keep my exhaust loud but lose the rasp. idk if i should go with resonated cats or the resonated xyz pipe. some say a simple tanabe y pipe eliminated a lot of rasp but i find that hard to believe.

 

I went with the resonated xyz pipe. I still have a little rasp but it is a lot better than before.

 

Did you Tanabe y pipe change sound wise at all? i'm debating on getting resonated test pipes or a xyz pipe "resonated" i assume. I have test pipes a coupe middy and a magnaflow muffler but my rasp is terrible. i'v herd a few people say that their Tanabe y pipe helped a bunch with rasp but i find that hard to believe they have no heat shields nor they resonated. i wanna keep my exhaust decently loud and keep the flow good. i'm not sure what would be my best option. Any opinion?

 

Do you have test pipes??

 

If you want to here a comparison here is a long overdue video i was planning on putting up but just never found the time. This is my 04 coupe with nismo cat back and xyz pipe res. I also have an injen cold air ,spacer, and cobb tuning access-port. I apologize for the poor cameraman-ship. Its
