Paddy78 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Expensive, but you could go motordyne art pipes and xyz. The cat is in tne y pipe then and the art pipes will minimise rasp and hiss whilst still being able tompass an MOT. Probably around £200-300 more than the cobra setup, buy would sound awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippypooz Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Basically im wanting something a little less restrictive than oem cats and y pipe...but not wanting to go the mot fail route!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 The above will keep your Zed MOT friendly too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippypooz Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Ok, so what sort of benefits to performance are we looking at and roughly what sort of cost? Obviously im not expecting silly BHP but curious!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Just fyi ~ There are some Motordyne Art test pipes for sale on here which are supposed to be the dogs bo**ocks; http://www.350z-uk.c...pipes-for-sale/ I used to have Berks HFC's which are a fantastic choice for high flow Cats imo. No rasp or drone. Cobra's from CS above though are a good choice as well. Power increase is hard to say zippy as every car/test condition/dyno etc is different. If your old Cats are particularly dirty inside though combined with the other exhaust parts you could be looking at 8-10bhp at a guess. Purely speculative though.

Yes, which is why you need the xyz y pipe with the cat in it. Those are the ones I mentioned in my post. Great setup if you have the cash and those 2nd hand would make it about the same price as the cobra kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy78 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Just an option available. The cobra setup would also be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pritchard Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 hi. well without wanting to give away prices and etc too much as thats between me and trader, But Abbey M/S as supplying me with their 'Performance package' (details of which can be found on here somewhere.... probably their Trader section) which includes '06 airbox, plenum spacer, HFCs, plus Y pipe and remap. i am also getting my P3 done at the same time, so for me its well beyond 4 figures. reading your sig, looks like your just missing the remap and hfcs. ? i am doing a 3-way dyno. so yea, i'll upload the results.

MattHeath Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Grab a resonated cobra cat back while you're at it, sounds awesome without having the rattley rasp and easy to fit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
