I got the TDX2 exhaust system from Motordyne about 2-3 weeks ago and it has been on the car for about 2 weeks now.

First off installation didn't take that long (I didn't do it myself got an exhaust place to do it for me), it was apparently quite tight in some places but I expected that from what I have read off the interwebs.

When I drove the car for the first time, my initial reaction was 'this is LOUD!'. There is a kind of drone whilst in the lower rev range but when you open the throttle, it sounds amazing! The best bit about it is if your driving along the highway or at a set speed its as quiet as stock.

I got some pics and a video (although with some rather tame revving of the engine):

The whole system laid out:

If anyone is interested I can post how much it ended up costing all up, for anybody thinking of getting it.

Awesome! So you just got the MD TDX V2 without the ART pipes? I am yet to hear how it sounds without the test pipes, meant to be insane with them!

Please do, post how much it cost you delivered i'm in QLD too so it should be similar

Yeah I only got the TDX2 no ART pipes, I wanted to keep it legal however I'm sure its already illegal due to its loudness haha

So all up it was:

1635 (TDX2)+

547.57 (delivery to my door)+

348.52(Custom and GST charges)

$2531.09

Please keep your opinions to yourself on whether you would spend this much or not

Even with stock cats, there is still a fair bit of 'gargle' from the exhaust. With HFC and espically ART pipes I should imagine there would be a lot more 'gargle'. I might look into getting some HFC but I don't want ART pipes.

I'll get some audio of my setup for you Sean.

Please do

I kind of like the gargle, the system is definitely one of the best for the VQ IMO. That price is expected, shipping absolutely kills us!

Yeah I get in cabin drone from 1.5k rpm to 2.5k rpm, it worse going uphill. I think auto box has got a lot too do with it, I don't get it using tiptronic mode.

Been thinking a MD ART -> MD XYZ with HFC -> Exotic Speed R1-T setup lately, Shiva maybe you can try out that setup since you got the Exotic Speed R1-T?

As I'll most likely be installing my Berk HFC on, instead of that setup.

Hey all, since there's been a lot talk and interested in Motordyne products, particularly the Shockwave TDX2 Cat-Back Exhaust System. I've seeked a quote for the Shockwave TDX2 Cat-Back Exhaust System including shipping and so on, based on a 10 unit purchase.

Also there are a number of other Motordyne products that you may be interested in, such as ART Pipes, XYZ Pipe and Sway Bars. So express your interest via private message in which product you want by next Thursday (18th October 2012), so I'm able to provide the group buy facilitator the exact numbers to get a quote for.

Now the way the shipping will probably happen is that each buyer will provide the shipping address and the shipping quote will be individual to each buyer and the items will be shipped directly to the buyer (unless you can team up with someone in your own city), this will save cost on double handling. Note, that most of the savings will be on the units itself and there may be savings on the shipping too.

As always with group buys, the more buyers there is, the lesser the cost will be to each person on the units. So if you are intending to get these down the track, I suggest you get onboard and if you don't have the funds then borrow some money, as this will probably save you a fair bit down the track.

Looking to close the group buy and make payements by Thursday on the 1st November 2012, as there will be lead time on some of the products and shipping time. Also, we would want to get in before December comes, as they will be delays with holidays and the amount of shipping that occurs with the Christmas period.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
