Hi All,

Im looking at changing my HFC and y-pipe with some aftermarket ones. I know the G35 and V35 are basically the same car but I just want to check that the exhausts are the same before I purchase some parts. Im looking at:

- M2 2.5" Y Pipe (Based off the HR Design) (linky)

- Kinetix HFC (http://www.autocarparts.com/part/1453/0/)

Will this all bolt up to the rest of the exhaust? Also does anyone know a good place to have this done in Perth?

Thanks guys!

Steer clear of cheap Y-pipes! they are made of crappy thin steel and rust quickly;

I'm getting my cheap ebay one replaced with a custom one when I get generic high flow cat's fitted (I can get the CEL disabled in Uprev; so I'm not concerned about the CEL)

Might work out cheaper for you to think about that way anyway; by the time you buy two generic 2.5 inch cats (300ish), pay some money to get one custom made (I've been told around 200-250) to fit), and then Get Uprev... you are still cheaper than paying 500 for a Y-pipe and 500 for a set of HFCs, and your car is faster coz it's been tuned :P

Or you could do what the Americans do and fit spark arrestors and avoid the tune; but where is the fun in that

I bought the Kinetix hfcs, and the passenger side one fouled under the car near where it connects to the y-pipe. Had to pay an exhaust shop about $100 to stuff around with it - which was the difference in price between some better brand ones that I should have gotten in the first place. And the guts of one of the hfcs came out within 40,000km. So I do not recommend them.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
