I know it's a long shot but after reading all the praise heaped on these pipes ... I am after a set - anyone? I recently bought some japspeed silenced decats from one of the excellent chaps on here, these and the monumental rasp they produce have helped me convince she who should be obeyed that art is the way forward! Thanks in advance. Grant

Thanks for the warm welcome, I’ve purchased a couple of items off members recently - silenced decats (fitted) and plenum spacer (which I am just about to go and fit) this will be followed by a trip to get the obligatory remap. When fitting the decats I was expecting a little rasp, I went for the silenced variety as I thought it would reduce the overall raspiness … not a word I know! The effect I have ended up with can only be described as the devil playing a kazoo! I have standard headers, Japspeed silenced decats - I know, standard Y pipe and a japspeed k1 rear … again I can only apologise! My question is if I were to replace the y pipe would it help to reduce problem by replacing the 2.5 pipe to one that graduates from 2.5 – 3?

It’s always the unforeseen issues when building, every time something is missed – this time it was layllandi, which meant rather than a standard footing we had to dig 2.5mtr deep footings! This also meant around 110 tonne of material to leave site and of the obvious extra cost to dispose of but he-ho that’s building for you! We are out of the ground now so the rest should be relatively straight forward. One of the benefits of a convertible is you can precariously stack many things whilst those inside screwfix nod disapprovingly, this coupled with a spin of the wheels and a look of carless abandon really helps you to ingratiate yourself with staff and customers alike

Hi, My name is Grant and I thought it was about time that I introduced myself, as I have been a member since 2012! Always wanted a two seater sports car since I was a lad, fell in love with the 350z and picked mine up with 22000 on the clock in 2012. Im now up to 35000 and have enjoyed every second. Made a few changes including BC coilovers, new alloys and k1 (I know but I think it sounds great with the bungs in) had to weld them as the bolts looked ugly! Viewing the site has become part of my daily routine and I really enjoy the various builds, currently extending the house and kids are at university … so I figure I have a year before I can throw some money at her and realise the FI dream … here’s hoping!

Hi Ryan, just a quick message to say thanks - shame it was so dark, would have liked to give your motor a good oggle!
