gazzard27 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 hi guys, im looking to Decat (not worried about MOT or anything) the car will be getting uprev'd at some point so no worries on power front. just wondering the best decats to get ? with regards to the CEL etc and also quality vs price ? ive seen some on amazon with no brand just wondered if anyones had experience with any of these or are currently running non branded decats? example http://www.amazon.com/Nissan-FairLadyZ-Exhaust-Downpipe-Straight/dp/B007BVUAZQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425549922&sr=8-1&keywords=350z+test+pipe just seems some of the branded stuff is expensive but if its worth it im willing to pay the extra... was looking at berk test pipes with the CEL fix from tarmacsportz if anyones used these also?

Adrian@TORQEN Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hi, Have a look here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/94812-torqen-350z-hfc-headers-y-pipes-and-decats/ Most popular ones are the Berk. PM me if you'd like to place an order or need further information. Adrian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzard27 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 thanks for the swift reply do the berks come with the CEL fix option? just something ive seen on tarmacsportz. also do they come with everything i need to fit, new bolts and gaskets etc? thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgs Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) I've got the Berks and yes they do, but it's not 100% If you're getting an UpRev though, it's not really something to worry about too much. Berks do seem to be the most popular, they have a bit of a rasp to them which I love, but some don't like. If you want less/no rasp, look at the ARK decats, they are a chunk more £ though. ETA: Yes they do come with CEL fix and gaskets, can't remember on the bolts. Edited March 6, 2015 by morgs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Another plus 1 here for the Berks De-Cats. I went for Berks as I knew the quality of Berks products was good after having their HFC's previously but also because the Berks De-Cats where one of the few De-Cats that came with extra O2 bungs on each pipe so that you can fit wide band O2 sensors if you want to run AFR gauges. Very happy with mine and the sound is amazing imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzard27 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks for the replies guys.. Berks all out of stock at the moment So i ordered kinetix test pipes that look almost identical and claim no cel either. I'll post pics and vids in a week or so. Thanks to Adrian @torqen for sorting me out and being so understanding to my newbie quiz questions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Sure you'll love them gazza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzard27 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 I dont doubt that once i turn that ignition on Anyone else running kinetix? I also need exhaust advice... what would go well with the kinetix. .. im staying N/A so dont want dual 3" pipes cause id imagine that'd lose power. Correct me if im wrong and exhaust recommendations needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Gazza exhaust wise it is hard to recommend especially not knowing your budget but also because everyone has a slightly different idea usually of what sounds good to them. Have a good look here: http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/products.aspx?CategoryId=32850911-9f8a-43e4-a5fc-24678e254d1d Lot's of choices & different priced systems ~ once you find something you like then maybe ask the question to see what owners of that exhaust system you're after think.

gazzard27 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 thats true... was just trying to get an idea as im staying N/A, so i dont think huge dual pipes would be good power wise. but i do love the sound of the ARK true dual and the HKS. but i think they are a tad pricey.

morgs Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Cobra system seems to be popular, good balance of sound/quality/price/looks. I haven't seen many with the Kinetix, so couldn't comment on how they would go with them, but plenty with Berks and I imagine it wouldn't be massively different..

gazzard27 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 yeah ive been told the cobra is good by a few, but then others claim its not so good. Might see what torqen can get me for a good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjf1985 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I have the Cobra unsilenced on mine and can't fault them except the management light won't stay off. Doesn't really bother me tbh, the sound makes up for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Aaron, keep an eye on the Japspeed, they're known to have really bad fitment and weldings to crack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic Turtle Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 How important are mufflers / resonated solutions using test pipes? Are they MUCH noisier than cats or HFC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzard27 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Car sounds good apart from this rattle i mentioned in another post. .. kinetix have the eml fix and its been fine until this morning light came on on the way to work Is mapping the only way to get this off?

Adrian@TORQEN Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Reece, first, you need to read the error and find out if it is caused by the decats. Secondly, you need to sort the exhaust leak. If the error persist after that you can try filling the test pipes with steel wool. There are many users in US that are using this trick for many thousands of miles and over 1 year with no problem. Lastly, you can disable the sensors with UpRev tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
