Infiniti G37 Berk Test Pipe Install

[@jaysont96]

I did HFCs a couple months back on my 08 coupe and it was hands down the hardest thing I’ve ever done. The factory cats just would not come off. Struggled for a long time and eventually had to hit it with an oxygen torch. Alex makes it look too easy! Great video though

[@alexwilcox9559]

damn, I live in ontario and the weather is awful for cars. I have test pipes coming soon and i figured i'm just gonna cut the bolts off and hit the studs with oxy-fuel haha

[@jaysont96]

Hey think about it this way; Worst case Ontario, you just take it to a shop and pay someone to do it.

[@alexwilcox9559]

hahaha glad to see another tpb fan on here. Yeah, i could really, but i have easy access to a hoist and do enjoy working on my own car, but if it really is horrible i may just have to..

[@sk8punk318]

Well sir that kind of deters me from doing the HFC‘s lol

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Not as difficult an install as I was thinking. Cats look like a tight fit on my q50. Test pipes coming soon!

[@TheJesusLomeli]

Where do you purchase the test pipes from ?

[@jasonredepenning]

She sounds soo good

[@mrrr407]

So no weld just bolt on?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Great job putting those test pipes in!

[@dougarnold]

Did you use a sealent and gaskets? It sounds really good. I'm installing 1320 hfc once I eventually break the "demon" loose. Any suggestions on what gasket sealer to use if any? Thanks for another great video about the g.

[@erenvick3088]

I'm just catching up on all of your vids sorry for all the notifications and comments on old post. The her I definitely woke her up a bit good install 👍

[@deathdealerhype7819]

Yet another amazing videos. It would be cool if you could link the parts you install for us to easy click. Love the videos bro! BELLS ON!!

[@SamsAutomotiveS]

Do you get the check engine for the berks catalytic converter s ?

[@kash29020]

What was that orange sealing looking stuff. Was that used to delete any possible exhaust leak??

[@TheHybridQ50S]

Alex Please do a fly-by/drive-by/acceleration video like you did with the Z with this set up.

[@ThatguyWitjokes]

Great explanation and clear visuals. But question, did you torque these bolts down? I'm doing this project soon and it seems like there's little to no space for a torque wretch in there

[@jasonredepenning]

FYI, mine were a pain and I have a 2009 G37S with 38k miles that's never seen salt. I bought it from Vegas back in 2012.

[@krismartinez4679]

Hello Alex for this second install of the new test pipes , did you have to go through the engine bay to remove the “demon bolts” ? Please lmk as I’m about to attempt to remove my old test pipes and unfortunately don’t have the extensions to go through the engine bay

[@BrianAlexander-xt6gq]

Did you get a check engine light or nah ? maybe not because you did state that you got a tune.

[@taz7968]

Awesome video. Quality of build goes to berk as well as consistent sound generation. Stillens looked under built for sure. Loved the video and appreciate your help through visual instructions. Can't wait for the next video.

[@izzjiggy9774]

Great video! Thanks!

Hey Alex, thanks for the informative video man. Really cleared up on which direction i wana go and i decided on berk. Only difference i have a 350z. Would you mind posting the link where i can pick these up? I cant seem to find them online. Thanks

[@ldd16camaross]

Hey man great video, I know it was a while ago, but I have the same test pipes im about to install. The “demon” bolt, do you have to unscrew it or can you do just the two nuts then wiggle it off

[@kova_motive]

Unfortunately it has to come off. On my Z I had to heat the bolt to get it off but with my G I was able to get it free with an extension and breaker bar.

[@priceaction00]

Sounds good.

[@mariodawood4648]

i got the berk res test pipes with CEL fix , i ended up getting a service engine soon light , any tips?

[@andreibirladeanu4257]

I heard that you can't pass emissions tests with test pipes. Is that true?

[@ApexZ06]

andrei birladeanu It depends on both your state laws and you county laws. I have a PA emissions license and work in a county that only does an OBD test. That means if the check engine light isn't on after all emission monitors are set you'll likely pass. However if it's a visual inspection and it's obvious there's no cats (those resonators could trick someone) you'd fail.

[@andreibirladeanu4257]

ApexZ06 I’m also from pa and checked the laws. My county also does the OBD. So if there are no warning lights I should be fine?

[@ApexZ06]

andrei birladeanu Yes but you may need a tune with test pipes. I have HFCS so I can't be sure. Keep in mind that if they do throw a code clearing the codes won't work as you need to have the monitors run also. I'll also to double check and see whether not having cats fails the safety portion of the inspection. Believe it or not the state is very strict when it comes to these tests so some shops may be picky about modded cars. I'll get more info tomorrow if I can but at my shop as long as your exhaust is in one piece and not leaking you'd be ok.

[@andreibirladeanu4257]

ApexZ06 for the berk resonated tp on their website it says it doesn’t cause a CEL 95% of the time. Thanks for the help though man, I really appreciate it

[@ApexZ06]

andrei birladeanu No problem. The safety inspection can get pretty technical but emissions basically boils down to is the CEL on or not. If you take your car to a shop you regularly go to and you are ok with them I doubt you'll have trouble.

[@C7Tmac]

Did you bypass the check engine light ??

[@howardhall7102]

How much louder is the resonated test pipe than the hfc?

[@herbert3311]

I have a new test pipe & my mechanic would not changed it. Is it true my check engine light will stay on if i decide to upgrade it?

Test pipes have extensions .. which are those long things hanging off them to plug your 02 sensors into so you don’t get an engine light ..

Go buy 2 packs of spark plug non foulers at eurozone or o'Reilly's. Drill one of them out and screw it in then screw the non drilled out one on top(stacking) and screw into test pipe, tighten, and disconnect battery before you start. Re-connect battery codes are cleared and good to go bro.

[@Mensaje22]

All theses nissan cars seem to have the same setup 350z 370z 350GT skyline 370GT Skyline and I don't think test pipes are legal cause the emissions become more pollution in the air and also you may wanna change the manifold for headers cause it's pointless just having test pipes and catalytic converters performance headers stop the gases from going back up into the cyclynders and pushing up against the cylynders which you can lose power and with performance headers it will stop the flow from back pressure and force it out one way and it cant go back into the engine

[@stevemunoz1683]

Do you need a tune after installing test pipes ?

[@WATAROCKER]

Not necessarily unless you truly want the most gains. But tunes are costly so its better to add all the performance parts first then get a tune.

[@alexwilcox9559]

it's not a bad idea at all to get a tune after.. removing the stock cats will free up a lot of exhaust flow and back pressure. It's important that your car is not going to lean out on the top end because of this. Will it destroy the car with a stock tune? no probably not, but if you hammer on it all the time then you may be asking for trouble. a quick air/fuel calibration is inexpensive really and it's nice to know everything is running the way it should

[@ravi_svn]

Alex Wilcox by “trouble” what can happen exactly?

[@alexwilcox9559]

sorry buddy, turns out that g's still run on the richer side after test pipes, just figured this out myself at the dyno last week. however, its more important to get a tune for anything before the intake, if its after the computer will compensate for it. sorry for misinforming, i learned something myself too. but any power gains will not be noticed until a professional tune has been done. hope this helps

[@WheresMrshah]

If I get the test pipes can the car pass inspection

[@Ocho474]

Every video I've watched they make it look hella easy to remove but not on my 2014 Q60, no sir. That CAT is hanging by one stupid stud (bottom driver side) and I got no room to work on. no tools fit in that little space there, the two bolts on top are off but the last one at the bottom is a pain, there is not enough leverage to spin the breaker bar. When I see all this videos I see a lot of room in there to work, I guess is a Q60 thing that they decided to give the owners a hard time when it comes to fixing our s*it!

[@djchucknorris]

nice haircut

[@Mav3rickShorts]

I previously had OEM cats with muffler delete on my G37s Coupe, the sound was perfect , i personally felt like i wanted something louder I then decided to replace the OEM cats and try resonated test pipes When the car started up it was Extremely Loud!!, i knew it would get louder but i never thought it would be this loud. The cold start literally sounds like mini explosions going off in the garage one after the other I love the idle it sounds nice and deep, cruising at lower speeds sounds good , but merging on the highway is almost a nightmare, it definitely drones alot but i don't mind it though. I'm looking into an electric cutout exhaust valve in hopes that it would make those cold starts more bearable. So far i've got Air Intakes, test pipes and a muffler delete.
