Hi

Just wanted to know what sort of cat pipes and down pipes people are using got a vq motordyne engineering cat back exhaust sys with xyz pipe which is awsome cost a bit and customs was a bit of a hassel but it was worth it. Now I want to complete the rest of the exhaust with hfcs and new down pipes and headers. So any help with down pipes and cat would be great

Thanks

hey mate nice purchase. which version did you buy of the exhaust? the VQ? i got the shockwave TI and it sounds awesome :)

headers, are generally very pricey. will cost as much as the exhaust! labour prices to install them are high too, becuase it is a massive job to install the headers.

most people have tomei headers. otherwise you can go and purchase USA headers like stillen or other brands.

also, with the motordyne exhaust you have purchased, you can change the part after the XYZ pipe, to a test pipe / straight pipe or high flow cat. it comes with a resonated cat i believe??? (not too sure) but yes look at their website and see what else they have to offer.

keep in mind if you bought the VQ exhaust to keep the car "quiet", adding headers and other sorts of test / straight pipes etc. is going to make it louder

Hi Mark

I have a 4dr the shockwave wouldnt fit without mods just wanted bolt on. I understand that I can run a single HFC after the xyz pipe and do away with the two stock cats. But can I just move the two sensors that are behind the stock cats to behind the new single HFC without having a CEL pop up?

I have a 1/2" plenum spacer, z tube and popchager along with the exhaust and on the highway a 2300ish in 6th gear bout 120 odd it not loud at all only gets notey when your under it and it sound great. Iam just looking for a bit more go by adding headers and I have been looking at the tomei v2

Thanks

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
