Edit: I don’t think I deserve a warning simply for responding to members that are quoting me. But whatever

I haven’t remapped my car since switching to a Motordyne shockwave so I don’t know. It was around 360bhp with the ark grip but the ART Pipes and Motordyne shockwave really is a fantastic combo, the best IMO they are designed to go together. The Motordyne shockwave is a beautiful exhaust, it expands from 2.75” to 3” I believe and it seems to be very free flowing. After a spirited drive the exhaust titanium tips are not really hot at all. Strangely they are only warm and you can touch them no problem. I’m not sure but maybe thats an indicator of how free flowing the exhaust if it expells the gasses and heat so quickly without restriction, back pressure. That’s just my theory anyway. I’ve had a fast intentions cat back also. With Ark grip I made around 360bhp. The shockwave such a good design and is definitely less restrictive. Maybe it gains me 5bhp-10bhp who knows. I will remap it next service. And i need to do some drive by clips. I’ll say again, I really recommend ART Pipes and the shockwave cat back it has an exotic different note due to the helmholtz resonators.

https://imgur.com/gallery/nOtyR52 it’s quieter than it sounds and with windows closed under 4000rpm it’s quite refined but there’s always a low constant burble to be heard outside. Climb the Revs and the v6 note gets higher pitched yet still deep. It has to be the most unrestrictive setup, I had about 360bp with my Ark grip but the shockwave is so much more free flowing I’m gonna claim 370bhp now even though I can’t be sure, it’s guess.

IIRC that’s the expensive and loud titanium CBE? Even HFCs will make it silly loud. It’s ART Decats you need to reduce drone, rasp and volume. I’ve got one connected to my 370z Motordyne shockwave which isn’t even too loud. Heres pic of 200 cell custom cat similar to berk, then the stock 400+ cell core which is much longer and a vid of my ART Pipes plus shockwave cold start

A shorter FD I Guess for better alleration and torque in gear, as the Nismo. Almost like turning 3rd gear into 2nd gear depending how short. Especially 3rd and 4th would pull much harder. I think up to 400bhp NA would be fine with heat in tyres a Mich PS4s or pilot cups especially flat power/torque curves. with AD08s 1st would be entirely usable foot to the floor I reckon. Mine on mich PS4s can do 0-60 1st into second without breaking traction unless tyres are cold. That’s with 360-370bhp and no passengers and in the dry. But ECUtek adjustable TC can sort it these days. On my old supercharged FN2 a longer FD only cost £90. I wonder if they’re straight bolt on and you could maybe get one from a breaker and swap when doing the clutch but who knows.

He’s not been online since I offered to buy it, understandably so I’m gonna try contac him

Now I recall this is the expensive one isn’t it. I will take it for £40 if you still have it and it’s the one in my photo above?

Looks like an epic sound system, those Hertz are good. GLTS

I also have them connected to a Motordyne Shockwave and the combination is probably the best sound you can achieve with a 370Z IMO. I would have thought £450 was a bit over priced but evidently there is a demand for it, if I didn’t already have them, I’d buy them because these won’t come up often They’re much quieter than HFCs but only tune the exhaust note do frequencies like rasp or droning are cancelled out within the chambers. so it functions the same on all aftermarket CBE.

Just realised I have alreasdy asked the question long ago lol. Your kit lives on anyway, I’m lucky to have snatched that up. I don’t need it (touch wood) but i’ll offer £20 delivered if the guy before me does not want it. If you are Nathan I already I have your account details

Is this the same Nismo emblem on my Nismo kit? Are you not the guy I bought it from ? I don’t even remember lol

I need my rear brakes replacing both sides. I might get the fronts done too if these go well. I’m not even if it has stock pads on, probably has I ordered MTEC grooved discs which were pretty cheap, then EBC Redstuff pads should be a noticeable upgrade. Thanks to Chris from Tarmac. Only fast road pads and on the rear but as I’ve read they bite a bit harder and the Akebonos already have virtually instant pedal response. I think the same all round might be real good. I’m not sure whether drilled/slotted and all that would be beneficial. Not worried about cracking but I don’t drive my Z hard enough. So all the time they are not overhearing, are they not sacrificing surface area and stopping power a bit? I doubt there’s much in it anyway as I see many better sports cars with them, they probably reduce brake fade too - but I won’t be getting them that hot. then there’s race pads too that would eat my discs, I’d have to get better discs and so on. I still haven’t haven’t finished or started a review or my thoughts on the shockwave yet. It’s fantastic Maybe on a joint or something i’ll attempt it. It’s the combo with the ART Pipes, other resonateD HFCs might replicate this too but I can only confirm the the ART Pipes. I’ll say to anybody considering perhaps in the future buying the Motordyne Shockwave to not be dissuaded or discourages and definitely combine it with ART Pipes. It is NOT too loud and it’s all designed to work magically together. The 4 helm holts resonsonaors play a role too, as does its design and 3” extra flow

This is now sold to Dave_7, and payment has been received. it had to be sent in two boxes and although still in my possession they are boxed up ready to be collected by Hermes today. In fact it was due for collection on Saturday but they seem to have messed up somehow. Mods please keep open until Dave_7 states he’s received the exhaust, should be by wed/Thursday . Thanks

Apologies if this is the case, i’m not sure if you’re one of the guys on facebook messaging me? I personally think £750 is a bargain already and I think a few others know this! Like you don’t often find one for sale in this condition for virtually half price. Either way the trouble is most couriers will not accept over 30KG and the box which it 165cm long. I am trying Shiply but I am not sure how trustworthy this site is. I around East Sussex, I’ve advertised on one FB Group and this is certainly the most popular exhaust generally speaking. It’s a level above the entry systems as well so I can wait a bit longer at this price. I could evev drive an hour or so, I’m wondering if it would all fit in my 370Z, £30 in fuel would get me a fair distance.

Some videos with stock catalytic converter and pics to show how it looks from behind

I’m surprised nobody has snapped this up yet! I see members buying the cheaper entry level systems around 1k new. Brand new the Ark Grip at around 1.5k might be more than some are willing or able to spend... But the ARK Grip is not entry level, and in comparison its superior in a number of ways. So for £750 collected this is virtually half price now. With the majority of the system being polished stainless steel, it looks almost like new! If it doesn’t sell at this price I’m gonna keep it as it looks quite cool as an ornament on my oak table. ;)

I’ll lower this to £750 because the two websites both reduced the RRP by £50 literally overnight the day after I posted this. Probably price matching each other lol.

I haven’t seen these in the flesh tbh, I do like them but my favourite wheels for the 370Z would be some CE28Ns in flat black. I’ve had some Rays gram lights TA Edition as well, not as valuable but I kerbed them few times. If I bought your wheels and kerbed them one day i’d probably have a mini breakdown, it would ruin my week anyway. With my regular stock wheels in matte black, I’ve already kerbed them a bit on the Euro tunnel but I can just touch them up with matte black and it’s not the end of the world

370Z Ark Grip V2, i think most of us know what it is but i’ll make a bit of effort for any that do not. It has the regular tips and I bought it “as new” for £1000 just over 1 year ago. I don’t know the exact mileage but it certainly hasn’t covered many. I’m only selling it as I replaced it with a brand new Motordyne Shockwave, I’ve wanted to try one for a while. I have ART Decat Pipes and with that combo the exhaust is not a particularity loud. With the pair of helmholtz resonator things on the Ark Grip designed to reduce or eliminate drone, theres not even a hint of drone even at 80mph+ in 6th. So it is one of the quieter cat back systems that is still using 2.5". I bought it because my Fast intentions was too loud. It's supposed to be a true dual exhaust and the pipe diameter being 2.5" means in theory it should be slightly better flowing/less restrictive than some of the smaller 60mm systems. I know the Ark Grip is one of the popular exhausts and I've not seen any other Ark Grip for sale since then. So I'm not sure of the exact value but i’ll list it for £800 for the time being. That's bit more than half price as think they’re around £1500-£1550 to buy brand new today. But this may be negotiable and depending on whether it’s collected (located near Eastbourne) or any delivery/courier costs and payment method. As I’m not sure how much PayPal would steal from me. I have a big ass box the Motordyne came in so, assuming it fits in I might be able to offer delivery. If it’s not too expensive to courier then the delivery price can be inclusive. But it is huge and heavy so I’d prefer collection if the courier costs loads, in addition to any PayPal fees. I could get an approx estimate on parcel2go beforehand. The condition is very good IMO, as it's mostly polished stainless steel. Arguably there isn't really any damage worth mentioning. But to be absolutely honest and transparent, there's a couple of marks and I've tried to capture and illustrate these with the close up pics. They’re too small to see in the other photos, but the red shows where it is. There is a bit of a scrape mark (speed bump) on the bottom edge of one silencer, but it's a very minor one. Even If you were to get on your knees and look under the car, I don’t think you could see it. There's also a mark on the front smaller silencer, but this is even less, more like a scratch. It would polish out if desired but like the other one, you can’t see any of it when installed. I took the photos yesterday and as you can see, I think it's cleaned up very well all over. The X section is not as shiny more of a yellow colour, but that is normal a result of the heat - it's the hottest section. I can supply the used gaskets anyway but I'd recommend they are replaced with new ones. You can buy a kit and gasket set designed fit the Ark grip on one of the sites I think. The flexis are fine and do not need changing, all the welds and flanges are perfect no dents, cracks or any other damage. It's a very well built system to be honest. P.S the second silencer is not in the same photos with the rest of it because I brought only that section inside to take pics and write my username etc. It does of course come with both. I think I’ve covered everything Cheers

I will get around to doing some kinda review maybe with clips lol. It’s a lot better than I expected. And I think many underestimate what the ART Pipes do alone, compared with regular decats and HFCs. With anything else other than the art Pipes (or stock cats) the shockwave would be too loud. It’s not too loud at all

Accidentally motordyne shockwave. Can’t really compare it to other combos it’s like nothing else and seems designed perfectly to match the ART Pipes

Well done with the GT Edition, I bought one myself not even knowing it was a different model. Not the same as the regular GT either if you google it. Over the regular 370S, the GT Edition is more than just stripes darker wheels. It has some sound insulation which was well needed, reverse cam and all options are standard. And best of all revised suspensions to improve handling, stability and comfort. They were listed at £35,999 so I’d not buy a new one but reviews said it was the best 370Z aside from the Nismo. I added a Nismo kit to mile

Yeah mine was just a GT Edition, has the full 2015+ Nismo kit bolted on except the little arch liner things. Credit to the guy who purchased the kit, he even got the genuine DRLs to work which are the most expensive part I believe. I snapped that right up lol. The Aero is functional, it feels very planted even cruising at 140

On ECUtek I’ve got an “emissions/MOT map” , oh wait that’s Volkswagon
