That screams exhaust leak to me... looks like he bottomed out real bad?
What do you think? Is it cheap/easy to repair? Should I even bother making him an offer on it or look elsewheres?

Ok so I kinda put it on the backburner for a minute until I gets my money...
I saw this on wikipedia... list of cars that had the VQ35HR.... so all these cars would have HR y pipes, correct?
The VQ35HR fitted to the following vehicles:
Does that mean I don't specifically have to find a G35? For instance, I saw this online recently: https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/...009393424.html
Would that work for my 2003 G35 6MT?
Thanks in advance for all your answers to my sometimes silly questions. It helps!

That's from a VQ37VHR motor, a VHR pipe, I wouldn't go with one because the inlet diameter is much smaller than the HR pipe.
This thread on the 350Z forum has good pictures comparing the two.

That's just the muffler section of the Stillen dual exhaust, it will not bolt up to the existing system which is just a single pipe back. However that's a pretty screaming deal and you could probably get ahold of the 2 missing midpipes or have a local reputable muffler shop bend you some. Here's what the whole thing looks like.

Ok so it's taken a little while but I finally have obtained a pair of HR pipes. Yay! They're from an '08 G35 coupe so they should work, right?!
He let em go for $60 but it was another 10 bucks to ship them. He's only 125 miles away but I couldn't convince the wife lol... if it were a major city with something to do, maybe but it seems like it's nowhereland, CA so no dice.
What do you think about these? Will they work? Is that a good price?
If this works then my next step is replacing the midpipe.. which brings me to my question. Having a hard time locating a used midpipe in my area. Apparently the 350z's setup is 3-6" shorter from what I've read.
Soooo......if I want the coupe's midpipe (everyone says it sounds waaaaayyy better), should I go OEM or just fudge it and go aftermarket? I've seen coupe midpipes from Borsa or Walker for like $60-$40... I do want to stay as close to OEM as possible but still eek out a tiny performance or tone change/increase. What's your opinion?

Note I would've hyperlinked but it didn't seem to work correctly...

That's a good deal on the Y pipe, I'd jump on it, plus it looks nice and clean.
Hold out until you can find a nice clean coupe mid-pipe, most of the aftermarket ones either have a very small resonator or none at all. The OEM coupe pipe has a fairly large resonator and it's proven to sound great on the sedan.

So I've got the Y-Pipes, the coupe midpipe is almost in hand... the last step is mufflers and exhaust tips... I know there aren't very many G35 specific mufflers... not many that are bolt on (could you point me to some, if any?)
So looking at universal options, and coming to the conclusion the muffler shop will need to install these. Just wanna know if these are viable options for my sedan:
Option 1 FlowMaster FX: https://www.holley.com/products/exha...es/parts/71225 paired with a single muffler tip https://www.holley.com/products/exha...ps/parts/15373 ... I know it's only 1 outlet, but the muffler says 3" straight through design... so is that a good option? Or should I only be looking at 1 inlet, 2 outlet mufflers? What makes a muffler good/bad for this application? Is there a specific thing I should be looking for?

Hi, I've been looking for a Y pipe for my 2006 G35x Sedan. Where'd you look for the one you bought?
My default was what I found on Rock Auto for $130 with shipping and tax
