I've searched and been through the exhaust compilation I just can't seem to find what I am looking for!

I have a dealer locally than can get me most of the following parts.

First off, Magnaflow High flow cats. Good? crap? What size in/out do I need?

I have a few muffler ideas but I am not locked on anything. What size in do I need for the muffler? 2.5?
1. Skunk2 Single canister, not sure if it's available I have to check that out.
2.Borla Catback
3. Magnaflow catback
4. DCsports cat back (it's for a Z I've heard it fits sedans)
5. or should I just find some kind of muffler that is close to straight through with few baffles?
6. HKS I want this but it's 400 USD and I have to get it shipped...

And can someone tell me where the mid pipe is located? i haven't had my car on a lift so I don't know where in line it is. I am guessing right after the cats right? If I plan on going to HFCs and a muffler I'll be putting a coupe mid pipe in there at the same time. Is that going to be too loud/ ugly sounding?

Any suggestions I appreciate! Any thoughts on gains or anything will also be happily accepted.

Thanks.

 

I believe the mid-pipe is from the y pipe to the muffler if im not mistaken. You should definitely get a HKS exhaust, it sounds WAY better in person too.

 

Damn, I really need a photo of the under body haha, I'm gonna look for that now.

Is there anyone on here running the HKS with HFCs?

 

Isnt there one on the thread with all the exhaust clips? I have a coupe mid-pipe and hks and it sounds way better then stock.

 

Yea it's a sticky in the sedan forum. I've heard the mid-pipe and HKS in person and it sounds mean as hell. But I haven't heard those two in combination with some high flow cats, that's my goal because the cats will probably give me a small increase in power.

 

Theres one with Kinetix HFC with hr y pipe, coupe mid pipe and HKS in the sticky.

 

You are correct.

Is the coupe mid-pipe shorter than the stock sedan pipe for 05? I thought I'd read that somewhere.

 

HKS sounds great, way better than a stock coupe or stock 350z.

 

I got an 05 coupe midpipe on my 05 6mt sedan. Figment was perfectly fine no problems what so ever

 

Coupe and Sedan middies are the same length. It's the Z middy that's too short and requires an extension. (I think)

 

Thanks guys!

 

What is HFC??

 

Noob central

 

HFC = high flow cats

I had Z midpipe, and HKS axleback for a bit. Adding HFCs sounds like midpipe and HKS with stock cats only a bit louder, and just a slight bit more aggressive. Resonated test pipes added a bit of rasp while making it all even louder.

 

HFCs have been explained in like 4 different threads now.

Test pipes won't pass emissions in Ontario though I don't think?

I might be picking up a stillen gen 2 which would be cool, I'll add HFCs to that for sure.
