so whats the hype from factory to hr?

 

HR flows better and sounds better.

 

so is there any advantage for an aftermarket? or is it just larger in diameter?

 

350z hr > de y pipe

The sedan hr y is very odd and has resonators

 

oh so the sedan does have a resonator? damn.. i ruined my aftermarket one and i was thinking of just tossing on the factory one but if it has a resonator than no bueno

 

If your y pipe is the de y pipe, then it has no resonators, I believe.

My HR Y pipe was the best 60 bucks I ever spent. Sweet note!

 

^The price has seemed to have gone up on them now

But agreed. Sweet note

 

^ I paid 130 shipped for mine lol, only had 5k miles on it and I needed it that weekend :X

 

Yeah. I'd be fine with $60 or $80... these guys wanting $120+ for a stupid stock exhaust component though?

 

115 here. but I picked mine up from CL.

 

you can but a aftermarket DE style for 80

 

I bought mine for $100 locally, soon after we figured out about the improvement of the HR Y Pipe design. It also came with a midpipe and muffler for the price I paid, kids mom wanted it out of their garage...haha. Gave the midpipe to a homie that needed it and sold the muffler for $60 IIRC.

 

Got mine when not a lot of people knew about them. Drove to Boston and grabbed it off a kid from the Z forum.

Ill see mine when I get the XYZ

 

I paid $80 shipped for mine over a year ago.

I am selling it for $120 picked up. Nice.
