Hey guys,

I was pretty much ready to pull the trigger on a coupe mid-pipe but now im seeing if you have an 05/06 its not the same as an 03/04

I cant find any pics or comparisons aimed at the 05/06 so my question is , Is it still a worthwhile mod to swap the 05/06 mid-pipe for a coupe mid-pipe?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I was planning on purchasing one asap along with an HR Y pipe in the near future.

Thanks,

 

I have HR-Y Pipe and Coupe Midpipe, exhaust got alot deeper sounding with stock muffler, Going to get HKS or Megans Racing muffler in the near future.

If you can find one cheap go for it.

The coupe midpipe is also lighter then the Sedan Midpipe so if your going for weight reduction :O

Here is a pic I just took for you of a 05/06 Sedan midpipe

 

Thanks for the pic and fast reply!

 

Yea its worth it I've seen a video of an 05 sedan with stock exhaust and the same sedan with stock exhaust with CM only, you could hear it sounded deeper with the CM

 

I love my hr-y, coupe and hks muffler combo. Nice, deep and saved about 8-10 pounds.

 

I would say go for it. People say the difference is not noticable, but I notice it. Its deeper, and a little bit louder, but still maintains an OEM sound

 

slightly off topic but where's the best place to get the y-pipe?

 

^ ebay. OP you can always get the coupe middy for 100 bucks used and sell you're 05 middy and get some money back

 

^ for y pipe check criagslist for 07/08 Z exhaust systems and see if they want to part out. some peeps even just sell the y pipe, they dont know how good it is and you can get one for cheap :P

sorry, i should've specified... i meant a y-pipe that will fit on the 06 g35x? i've done some searching and it seems that the different y-pipes won't fit on the awd 1st gen sedans?

 

www.everythingg35.com has a coupe midpip, but i think its a little overpriced

 

coupe midpipe made it a little louder, but to be honest with you, right after i put it on and drove it off the lift i was very dissappointed, it made the smallest of differences in sound. but i got mine free so i cant complain too much.

 

Im just looking to get it alittle more like the coupe sound. I know its not a huge perf gain. My friends Z & Altima SE-R sound so nice so if im closer to that sound but still OEM sounding i would be happy.

Anyone have a Coupe Mid for sale

 

from what alot of the members told me, get it. im pretty stoked because im picking up an intake, coupe middy, hr y-pipe, and a megan racing universal exhaust. so yeah... the coupe middy i found on here for 50 bucks, the hr y pipe i found on craigslist for about 90 bucks, the intake on here, and megan racing im getting from mr.wong from statik. getting it all for under 400 bucks so its a steal.

 

I thought it was WELL worth it. I agree with above said^^ about it not making much of a difference off the lift... but I feel like after a little time it made quite a bit of difference. I thought it felt much smoother (less restricted)

I've got one for sale. I don't have enough posts to post in the classifieds.. but PM me and I'll sell AND ship you mine for REAL cheap
