MarkSt Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Hi all, Thinking I may go for a set of decats for the performance, but not really wanting the extra noise as I love the sound of my Invidia Gemini as it is.. I heard James' Motordyne ART pipes coupled with his Invidia Gemini and it really didn't sound too different to mine with cats.. So are the ART pipes the only option available to me or are there other options out there? Trawling through old threads it looks like some possibly did exist (a few mentions of resonated decats) but not sure any are still around. Also are the 370Z decats the same as the 350HR or were they changed again? Many thanks in advance for the replies Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSt Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Could a Mod please move this to: 350z Forum → 350Z Modifications → Exhaust Should have posted it there in the first place! Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippypooz Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Motordyne art pipes are the way to go! I have them on mine. Well worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I actually found the Japspeed silenced decats to be pretty good , having heard them both i think the Japspeeds actually dampen the noise a little better than the Motordyne ones , which are a horrific price to be fair I know Japspeed stuff is of variable quality but the decats seem pretty good , they fitted a few sets at H-Dev while I was there with no issues although they dont come with gaskets so you need to buy them seperatly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippypooz Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I suppose it depends on your budget as to what you choose. Motordyne arnt cheap but the quality is second to none. To be fair, i bought mine secondhand but were in near perfect condition paying £250 for them! If im honest £600 IS a lot of £££. But in my experience id probably still end up buying them...with the Motordyne HFC Y pipe...now youre up to just over a grand!! Eeeks!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nice knowing you have a tried and tested system under there. There are other makes though that are cheaper than the motordyne and pretty much on a par. One thing i did notice about motordyne is their weld quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkSt Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Thanks for the input guys, I have an Invidia Gemini at the moment, which isn't exactly a cheap system, however spending nearly as much on a pair of decats is making me wince a little! But at the same time I don't want to spend on say the Megan or similar system to find it's really not up to the job.. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippypooz Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Maybe search Youtube and see if there's anything else out there? Bit of a long shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r111nxx Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I have ark decats and they are great. May even be selling them as my car is for sale and the buyer may want it back standard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
