fake ben taylor Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Hi, Recently bought a 350z which came with an aftermarket exhaust and y pipe fitted but I can't for the life of me identify it. Hard to get pictures of it whilst its on the car but... It goes to a single pipe after y-pipe with an oval silencer and then just behind rear subframe splits off again and enters a large rear silencer from each side and then exits in two places into two slash cut tail pipes. Its almost a dual rear box but with a single pipe between y-sections? Quote
mouthwash Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Probably a Japspeed exhaust by the description. Quote
DoogyRev Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Gonna struggle with out a pic . . you could also put a pic up of the car and see if someone recognizes it Quote
fake ben taylor Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 Haven't really got many pictures of it but this was from from cadwell Quote
Dave-350 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 https://flic.kr/p/rw2Z2b Haven't really got many pictures of it but this was from from cadwell Not a single snap of the rear, just flakey paint and badly aligned bonnet is all I see 1 Quote
Floydbax Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Sounds like an Amuse R1 to me http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/96163-anyone-looking-for-a-amuse-r1-350z-exhaust-my350z/ Edited March 26, 2015 by Floydbax Quote
fake ben taylor Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 Cheers Dave, very helpful. It was actually just for the picture of the car in case anyone recognised it. Added the bast I can get of the exhaust to the flickr. Its very similar to the amuse but not a twin rear silencer but one big one and not got the burnt tips etc Quote
fake ben taylor Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 Fait enough, I won't worry about chopping it up then Can't see a similar one on crapspeeds website? Quote
mouthwash Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Probably a Japspeed exhaust by the description. Winner Quote
SHEZZA Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 No japspeed I've ever seen, looks custom to me. Quote
Floydbax Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Fait enough, I won't worry about chopping it up then Can't see a similar one on crapspeeds website? Come on Ben, go take a phone pic of it now and post it on the 350z facebook page so we can all have a look Quote
fake ben taylor Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 I put the pics I could get above? Click the flickr link and they're in there. Pretty sure its not crap speed after checking what they sell Quote
SHEZZA Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I put the pics I could get above? Click the flickr link and they're in there. Pretty sure its not crap speed after checking what they sell Yep defiantly not japspeed. Quote
Floydbax Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 That is very interesting indeed, looks pretty decent TBF. It doesn't look like any Japspeed I have seen, it also looks like its been on there a while. Is the car a Jap import by any chance? Might help track it down. It's a full system, YPipe, mid pipe and back box. Quote
KyleR Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 The mid box looks OEM, not saying it is, just that it has that sort of shape. Not a clue about the exhaust, sorry. Quote
Wasso Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 That's for sure a custom exhaust. Not a know branded one I've ever seen. Needs a bit of love that's for sure. Quote
fake ben taylor Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Its a full system (cat back) and is very quiet. Think it was 87db measured at cadwell, might have been 84db and fits very well. It isn't a jap import. A UK car, I bought it from someone who had bought it as a half finished twin turbo project but they got the car running and sold it and the turbo kit on separately. And yeah it does look like its been on there a long time Quote
fake ben taylor Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Wasso the whole car needs love! Getting there slowly but surely Quote
Floydbax Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 It's deffo a weird one this. Looks like its mild steel. The mid pipe silencer looks OEM but the split at the rear of the pipe is unique, also doesn't look like its been replaced for the original. The back box also has that flange around the edge like the OEM unit. It looks though to be 3" right through. Those flange connectors also look OEM. The pipes look mandrel bent and the welds look pretty decent. Quote
fake ben taylor Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Pipework looked stainless to me? Will have another look tomorrow whilst I'm fitting my plenum spacer Quote
Floydbax Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Pipework looked stainless to me? Will have another look tomorrow whilst I'm fitting my plenum spacer Good mod, mine deffo felt immediately different after doing this mod, in a good way Quote
BulletMagnet Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Give the backbox some Autosol love and see if there is a "Z" underneath all that muck, could be a Fujitsubo Ti exhaust. Quote
