^^ I threw a code once with the ART pipes but that was because there was steal wool inside the 02 bung that needed to be removed so that the 02 sensors could read the fumes. I was just getting a low output but now the CEL is gone and hasnt come back.

I had berk HFC before as well. Never threw a code with those. But I would say the gain from HFC to ART pipes were noticeable.

 

No CELs at all from the headers or ARTs

 

Are the headers coated?

 

There was no option for that so I doubt it. You talking ceramic coated or some other coating?

 

My headers arrived today and was surpised to see that they did not come with any hardware what so ever like the ad states. No big deal in my book considering the price I payed for them.
-So there is the fair warning to anybody else that got a set or plans on buying them.-
No problem if you plan on having a shop do your install as they well most likely use new stuff but I plan on doing it myself like eveything else. So I called up my local Infiniti dealer and ordered new exhaust manifold gaskets, new catalytic converter gaskets(top), and new nuts to bolt down to the head studs...$147.13 later. I made a DIY header install thread if you plan on trying to do this yourself.

I am really looking forward to hearing the results about these headers.

There isnt much info about these and its good that you will have first hand experience with them.

In for results and DIY!

 

OP, if you could make a detailed list of the tools used that would be great. I plan on doing a header install myself sometime this year, and I want to make sure o have everything i need to get the job done. Thanks!

 

I can do that, I will also list any other steps done that the site I found doesnt list if any.

 

i recently installed 370z headers on my G35. it is a JOB! but can be done with the right tools. Best tool to have is Nut Buster\PB blaster\DW40 etc...

 

I believe it, from everything Ive read about the install and comments from other people on the subject it sounds pretty detailed and a royal pain in the ***. I actually cant wait to start it just cuz of those reasons though. You can say that you successfully made the cut for DIY header install completion.

 

So I successfully installed my headers today in the 100+ degree sun. Not counting the 1 hour break I took to eat a quick bite it took 10 hours altogether. Started at 9am and had it all buttoned up at 8pm. It is a job I'll tell ya that. I will post more on it tomorrow as well as the DIY as I am tired and sore...lol.

 

Badass! Congrats, looking forward to the update!

 

When you use 370Z headers. Dont you need to reuse the original 370Z cats? Or you can reuse your G35 ones?

If I remember the flanges are not the same.

 

You have to use 370Z cats, HFC, or test pipes made for the VHR\HR motor
