LH350Z Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hi all i have an '03 350ZGT. It has an oem y pipe back fairly new K1 exhaust fitted by the previous owner which i am not a fan of (too loud at cruise even with the bungs in and don't like the Jap can rear look either). Anyway issue is oem y pipe is blowing on both flexis so needs to be replaced. My plan is to return the system to oem for the time being i have picked up a full oem system via the forum from a 350GT (y pipe, centre section, back box) mainly just to get a good cond oem back box. The y pipe off the 350GT looks like it will fit but is a completly different shape to the oem part and does not have a heat shield Looking under the Z it seems to be the same overall length. Question is are there any issues fitting a y pipe with no heat shield? All after market items don't seem to have them but surely Nissan fitted them for a reason? I don't want cabin temps to increase. i need to get an oem centre section. You think why not just get a whole aftermarket exhaust system but i want to just see how i find the oem setup first and deal with some servicig items too. Any thoughts appreciated.

samsniss350z Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Unless you park on long dry grass then you should be OK. My Y pipe has no heat shield and I can't say that i notice any more heat in the cabin. Why don't you get two new flexi's welded onto your OEM Y pipe and it'll be as good as new,.
