MY FIRST UPGRADE FOR THE Z!!!
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 08. 2024
- After driving my Z for the past little bit, I’ve come to appreciate a stock and quiet car. I can drive it like an ass hole and no one really looks twice because it is quiet. At the same time, if I’m just cruising on the highway, it is difficult to keep track of my speed without looking down at the tach since I can’t hear the engine. Well my first modification to the Z is going to help me solve that problem.
This is the first of many things my 370Z needs for upgrades / modifications and I figured this should help other guys that purchase either a 350 or 370. These are a fairly enough bolt-on, they make more sound, and DO NOT produce a CEL since they have an angled O2 sensor bung on them.
If you decide to do any kind of modification to your engine, you should get a tune. It doesn’t matter if you replace the air filter with a better one, of you go all out with a massive turbo setup… if you play with the engine, you should get a tune to get the most out of your upgrades. I will eventually be purchasing a tune & dyno tune, but it makes more sense to me to do more mods and THEN tune it, so I don’t waste hundreds of dollars.
What I found to be cool is that these test pipes can be installed on any RWD VQ car. You can install these on your Infiniti G35, G37, Nissan 350z and 370Z.

The demon bolts claimed another victim
Then demon bolts had me FUCKED up
I get what you're saying with the exhaust but stop trying to justify modding your car. Its your car after all. Just say, "I want my car to sound cool and loud." I don't think anyone would disagree. Just my two cents.
You need it "for safety" now I've heard everything 😂
Ken Lawton I literally shook my head and rolled my eyes
Thats what he told his wife
It’s way past my bedtime but ima still watch this
Sergio Perez same
Yep, have to get up in 5 hours but worth it.
Steven Kenzou I have to get up in 4 hrs
lol i cant believe your justifying buying a louder exhaust is cause you cant hear it while cruising.just buy it cause you want it enough justification for me lol
It's not much louder, but it sounds a lot better, if you compare the two sounds, you can hear that the drone is gone.
You obviously don't drive a manual
Yeah. I only drive manual and I never look at the RPM gauge, I only listen to the engine or exhaust sound.
i do drive a manual
They’re called demon bolts for a reason Milan! 😈 haha great first upgrade, mine was an eBay axle back. Since I live in Cali I don’t want to mess with my cats 🙄
yep...thats why I had to pay $300 to get my high flow cats installed on g37 sedan after my first failed attempt....damn demon bolts.
You could've just said you were replacing the exhaust for better exhaust note and better flow instead of all that b.s. about safety and not having the awareness of your own speed. A stock Z is not exactly quiet IMO. I hate the high pitch exhaust note of stock VQ motors, especially in the Z and Infiniti FX/G35/G37s, and I used to own an FX. Aftermarket exhaust is an improvement for sure.
A stock BASE Z is quiet as hell, i have one, and about to put an exhaust on it in a couple weeks. Maybe with windows rolled down and no music you can hear it a little, but besides that, way too quiet.
Yeah the stock 370 is stupid silent
Disklike for calling me a lady
Milan love your channel and videos, but dont use a stupid escuse to put your car louder. I have a normal car, that makes 50% less noise and still I can hear. You must having some issues with your hearing.
It's not much louder, but it sounds a lot better, if you compare the two sounds, you can hear that the drone is gone.
It’s not a stupid excuse, it clearly is an issue for him, and it’s a good reason to put a nice sounding exhaust on.
James Hatfield
if you want to enhance the sound of the car, you just do it, dont need to find a "stupid" escuse do do it , unless he has some hearing problems. I am not a hater, I am a lover, but this excuse is silly. Dude it is a V6 , did you hear the sound?? You want to tell me if you press the pedal you dont hear the sound or feel the speed?? Are you stoned or drunk??
Tibor Klein
I am not mad with both sounds.
Coolissim0 Unl1mited I kinda wanna agree with you but I guess we won't actually know for sure unless we test drive his car and listen for ourselves. But he DID make it seem like he could not hear the car accelerating at all. Made me think that he might have a hearing problem. I can even hear some tiny grocery getters accelerate when going fast or high revs.. even electric cars accelerate to an extent lol .. I guess we'll never know. I love the channel and the videos tho.. the car sounds great
Just admit it, you just want it to sound awesome, Milan.. Not to make it safer ;)
If you want it loud get a muffler delete on this. With z’s they always sound good with muffler delete, first thing I did to my z33 but I also have resonated test pipes so it’s pretty loud.
What do you think about these test pipes and Non resonated short tails? Thanks
So glad you got a Z 🙌🏽. Ive been meaning to get a cat delete on my car, but just haven’t had the time.. I’ve got a muffler delete on it so im kinda worried it would be over bearing.
You need a tomei y pipe and a tomei exhaust
nah. motordyne
Kaleb Teeter hell yea 🔥
Kaleb Teeter i like both but i went with tomei, because i personally like it better.
Sup Milan, I was getting as frustrated as you with those daemon bolts, hope you added some antiseize to the new ones.
Have been thinking on giving you these advice for a few months already :
Try to avoid repeating yourself that much, just look at how many times you said the car is new and has that many miles. And I get a part of that is because of the frustration with the bolts but it is not something new on your videos, I think you are good on making your ideas clear enough that you don't need to keep repeating it over and over during the video, it makes it a bit tiring to watch.
Anyway, just my 2 cents, I'm glad you are posting more often and got two interesting new cars to work on.
Cheers from NYC.
Agreed
I am new to the occupied territory of California and purchased my first 370z (2016). The car is supposed to be 50 state compliant but I believe my first inspection for re-registration will be in May 2019. Also, I have only 6,000 miles on the odo so the car will most likely still be under warranty. Being a Harley owner, the first and easiest thing we did was install a performance exhaust that emphasized that famous exhaust note. How does your mod stand up to state mandated compliance in the jackbooted corrupt chain of private inspection stations that often send a Prius back to the dealer due to excessive offgassing during the charge cycle. Sulfuric acid and Hydrogen are Killers!
Let us pray: "Oh Lord, return me to a free state in this United Republic. Maketh me not a felon where I can buy an item legally regulated, from an agent of the oppressors and while I sleep have it outlawed. Saveth me from agents of the state who secretly change laws to ensnare honest men and destroy their property without benefit of trial.
Changing things never made me scared before. Thanks man. one of the best produced vids.
My 370z with the sports package has longtube headers, hi-flow cats, and the nismo exhaust. It’s super loud and sounds so good. Trust me, you’re not gonna regret it!
I feel you. I feel like giving up sometimes when It gets difficult, I usually take a small break and get back at It with a better attitude
Debadge it and get Full LED bulb conversion that are good quality.
Yeah I think I will :) I need to find a nice LED conversion kit
milanmastracci go to Headlight revolution its the best I used it on 3 cars.
milanmastracci for turn signals and reverse lights go to JDM astar and License plates sylvannia zevo and interior GTR lighting.
@@milanmastracci Did Check Engine Light turned on after I installed a downpipe?
“Good morning ladies” lmfaoooo
Will you paint inside your headlight housing and would you get a switchback LED strip.
I want to open the headlights but not yet, there are some other things I need to pick up :)
milanmastracci do switchbacks and maybe demon eyes.
" OBX makes quality parts"
" I am making my car louder to help me not speed"
LMFAO ok
Post more about the beautiful audi
I've always had issues working on Nissans. Rust can be so bad on them. Had an 02' Maxima SE and half of the heads of the bolts just twist right off. Very soft metal! Had to get rid of it when the floor jack went right through the frame when trying to lift it to change the tires. I have Toyota(Lexus) now and much better quality of components.
Haha love your video with the ppe headers but idk what kind of vintage dump trucks you were used to driving to think that the 370z is very refined, it’s one of the loudest cabins I’ve been in lack of sound deadening and tons of road noise comes into the cabin. But it’s a sports car so I expected some of that. And while I do enjoy some noise ya don’t need it to tell what your doing you are in control of the car I know when I’m accelerating and when I’m not lol.
That underbody is nice and clean! Sweet.
Damn, that was so lackluster. I was really hoping for a night and day difference. I had a Mustang Ecoboost that I did an aftermarket exhaust on and THAT was definitely a change. As they say, if you like it, i love it.
Try Pb blaster it’s a better alternative to Wd-40!
Oh I used it.. lots lol
milanmastracci after using pb blaster what you do is use an Allan socket of the same size you need. Bang out the Allan with a punch and hammer.. A Allan 10mm (for example) is tighter than normal 10mm so it has way more bite. A friend of mine hasn't had a problem yet and he's done it on a bunch of cars, I did this on my 05 Volvo s60r, zero problem. Just agood thing to know.
good you didn't get the non res test pipe, I just got mine installed yesterday and holyshit rasp even with my DC sport x pipe catback. but with all that hard hours work and bloody hands im gonna deal with it smh.
Demon bolt takes no prisoners
Finish the Mini.
Dammit! we never going to see a MINI on a track nor on a road. Love those Nissan V6, yet WV VR6 is hyper beasts.
Just need the full Motordyne catback.
Wait till they break in. They'll sound even better. I'm gonna start using safety as an excuse for any mod lol.
Man tell me about it, I work on my 2003 Audi A4 that has 345,000 km and every single bolt is rusted and its a battle! You end up with scrapes and bruises!
Great job on the Cat delete but what about when it comes time to get a sticker? Will it pass emissions with the new exhaust or will you have to put the old system back on?
Exhaust smoke was significantly visible after the cat delete. I don't know if that'll be an issue.
Good thing I'm up at 130 am est.
Milan, I've always wondered does Ontario have Emissions/Exhaust noise regulations?
Get BlackVue front and rear dash cam.
any checking engine light with this ? When you installed it ? I know tune will remove it but I plan on driving with test pipes without a tune for now. Is that bad ?
The good old demon bolt lol. I used galvanized pipe and made a long ass breaker bar with it. Pain in the ass
My buddy and I used bolt extractor to remove the demon bolts, it makes the job a lot easier
Why did you not use the impact wrench to remove the first few exhaust bolts? Is there are a reason you chose the breaker bar?
Did you pass emission with this ? Did you put anti fouler to these test pipes to pass it ? Any checking engine light ? Tune needed huh
Please reply
How did you get ride of the CEL??? I have test pipes and I’m struggling with 02 extensions and stuff to try to remove the CEL
Great job. You got there in the end. Lol. The sound is so much better. Thanks..
aftermarket exhaust is always a must
i’m not sure what it is in ontario but but in Manitoba it’s illegal to not have any cats... can someone clarify
I just bought a 08 Accord 2.4 and I absolutely love it. But upon closer inspection my engine seems to burning oil and its kind of annoying. Do you have any oil consumption on your Accord, if so how bad is it.
I’m 5 years late but yeah my 04 accord burns a lot of oil too, as long as it’s not excessive it’s fairly normal
Your Episode is best of those car related videos , clear sound and video quality
I have the same ratchet set and dewalt impact gun as you Milan. Basically I buy the tools that you use cause I figure it’s “Milan Approved”
Lol nice excuse Milan. Just admit it, you wanted the sound.
can u give me an advice ? i want to upgrade my car (port polish, exhaust, mapping, make it lighter, etc). but im pretty confused, according to your oppinion wich one i should do it first ?
Ryan Zagi I will give you the best advice ever ask someone with more experience ask someone thats not on CZcams. Someone trusted or known in the car committee
They’re called demon bolts for a reason hahaha. I’m struggling with the other two seized nuts on the driver side. I’m struggling too
Buy a motordyne exhaust for the Z
You can almost never remove that bolt without destroying it. Either warm the car up to operating temp or snap it.
I had that Matco flash light till it was left in a car lol it’s a really good flash light
We want videos on a car golf 4 🖐🖐👋
Great vid Milan, pitty you beat the shit out of yourself when removing the bolts, lol. I just hope you can take more of a beating in the next round of mods for the Z 😜😜😜😜👍👍👍👍
did the test pipes throw an engine code/ light after install ?
Did I miss the intro to the car video? Would really like to have seen a walk around before you start making changes.
Do a muffler delete man, wow, after all what you just did, And get a Exhaust kit, that makes your exhaust full dual, That will absolutely "wake up" your 370z and you'll gain every bit of 15 to 20 HP.. And put in a Intake kit from K&N, and you will be rocking some serious upgrades, as well as a nice little gain in HP, but how ever your fuel economy will plunge..But you'll be loud and way more awesome as far as HP gains.....
Sounds good! You have to mod the catback as well :D
Thumbs up in the first minute for your explanation on test pipes for public safety! Lol
Do you get that Exhaust smell in the cabin with the installation of the test pipes??
I need them for safety too 😈
Why is it called TEST pipes? lol
After installing these, is a tune required?
I would recommend it 👍
I love engine sound over exhaust
Should’ve got a tomei if you want loud
That’s awesome! That Z is in the best hands ever!! Sounds great!!
The same thing happened with me my 09' 370z with 47k miles, had all the bolts rusted on it nd it was impossible for me to remove it because they were stripping nd i didn't have the right tools, so I just took mines to a shop nd had it done but that was the worst decision ever (money wise). But I still got my test pipes installed Nd it sounds great now😂
Wow every Video i seen of people working on a Z be it 350 or 370 they all complained about the same exact issue with those bolts. I thought since your car is new it wouldn't have the same issues.
Lol that hiss , same here
I just installed some test pipe on my car but it sound similar to your you know why it making a vacuum sound after you let of the gas paddle ?
If you're running stock exhaust manifolds, it will make that noise once the catback is freed up.
You think putting a cold air intake will help a little? love your videos BTW.
only with decat test pipe and without tune gains some hp? at sensation? sorry for my english i am italian ahahah
Get a tomei single exit!
Sounds sick!
do you need to tune it
The Z needs some window tint
Def an ark exhaust :)
of coruse it was exhaust
nice!!!
Straight pipe?
Z1 Motorsports Intakes.
I like ur channel keep up the good work you my sub
I love your attitude to life. loving the vids.
Does it drone at any rpm and how is it driving for an hour
Everything stock but the test pipes?
At the time of the video, yes. The car was stock 👍
What light is that you are using when you take of the first bolts?
This: amzn.to/2mnHnI6
Thank you for the reply and email!
What key fob cover do you have in this video?
Do you have headers, or factory manifolds ?
Did the check engine came on?
Nope :)
WHERE THE TOMEI @ DAHHHH?!
My car is 2001 150,000 miles and my downpipe was easy to replace
Listen to the sound of this reminds me a lot of my g37, missed it so much.
Don’t you need a tune to have Test Pipes?
I left Tinder for this... worth.
YESSS FINALLY A 370Z! please do heaps more how to vids on this
Happily 😁
How did you take off stud on header?
Do you have the catalytic converted
