I'm sure the dealer would be able to get them, other than that I'm not sure. I left them on, but read some posts back, I think DaveB was saying something about vibration when cold or something?
Update on mine, I've been driving it around for a bit, definitely feel more low/mid torque. It feels much easier to drive, I love it. It also did add a nicer throatier sound, which is awesome. Definitely a worthwhile mod!! I haven't taken it much over 4.5k, as my clutch is dead and starting to slip a bit (from the previous owner) and I'm trying to baby it until I get my ACT clutch installed.

im too lazy to backtrack through the thread to find out..... which version of the HR pipe did you get?

Damn great find!!!
I don't fully understand your question...you have a sedan? This Y-pipe is exactly the same length as the stock G y-pipe, so all it does is replace that part, the midpipe is the same, etc.
Are you talking about running the full Z cat back? You'll need an extension as the Z is 8" or so shorter than the G.

You could always use your stock mid-pipe...someone with a sedan would have to chime in, but I wonder if there are performance benefits from using the 350Z HR mid-pipe/muffler over the stock DE mid-pipe/muffler. I have no clue.
The Y-pipe is definitely different (obviously), but not sure about the rest.

well i want it sounds and i know for sure if using coupe or z midpipe will give the wot sounds and now since i just found this thread about the y-pipe might as well change it too .... i can't wait to see my car tomorrow after the installation. Oh i'm still keeping my stock muffler though ..... ... no money for HKS yet

Finally project for HR y-pipe and Z mid pipe is all done.
Got the 2008 350z Y-pipe, Mid pipe and Muffler for $50 from someone don't know anything about how valuable the stuff is and that make me lucky
So here is couple pictures of the set on my car. I went to muffler shop and have them cut the mid pipe section and add extension to it to make it fit to the stock muffler.
Here is the picture of the stock muffler
Here is the picture of the HR y-pipe and midpipe before they cut it
Notice that gap in there between the muffler and midpipe. Now is where they cut it and add extension to it.
I Love the sounds of it and I haven't test drive it on the highway but i can tell there is a little push on the lower rpm and less lag on it. This is AWSOME MODE I HAVE EVER DONE WITH TOTAL OF $50 + Install $80

I got the coupe seats from Ttrank and this one doesn't have memory seat only power seats that's all. it's pretty confy and hug more.
the pipe is a little bit bigger just to join the two pipe and weld it there. it's pretty clean looking after they done it.

Got the sound from my Iphone ... not the greatest since the Muffler tip also rattle probably because is more power coming to it ... just need to tight it down i guess ...
