Installing Resonated Test Pipes on my G35 Coupe + Revs and Flybys!

[@jetsflytoday]

1st!

[@JoeVazquez]

Let’s gooo!!

[@V35_Obsidian]

Great install vid man! Test pieps was one of the first mods I did to my G, and although it helps alot with the performance, I wasn't crazy about the obnoxious trumpet sounds. I ended up going with the individia Gemini true dual catback with my test pipes and I love it. It sounds great, similar to stock but with an excellent deep and a bit louder tone. It’s not obnoxious at all and doesn’t sound like a trumpet. Loud is fun but it gets old quick IMO.

[@JoeVazquez]

That’s great!! Being loud is fun till you get annoyed of being loud haha

[@speedracer2831]

I posted 14 diff exhaust short vids, and I found this one company called AAM. They make a 3" and a 2.5" for our cars. I think they sound amazing. I'm not into the total straight pipe sound. If I could replicate a GTR stock exhaust, I would do it !

[@V35_Obsidian]

Wow that’s sounds amazing bro I have q70 with a 3.7 going to be installing these in soon, it’s only got a muffler delete right now I’ll be running the test pipes> oem resonators> muffler delete > stock tips. This video helped me figure out which route I wanna go. Nice car by the way!

[@Asksum1]

Gidday from down under!! Mate, vid was done a while ago and i haven't gone through all comments but the visible difference of moisture and gas fumes coming from the passenger side exhaust was a lot. Anything come of that? Cheers.

Its pretty hard to find a decent condition manual in Miami fl Deep love for these vq coupes

Do you have to get a tune after kinda hesitant on getting some since I know some you have too or else your car will run lean

[@mattandkatchristie2552]

Did you get the engine light? Also howd the flex pipe test pipes hold up? THANKS 4THE VID

[@beezyrider]

Great video bro and I’m glad the install went smooth for you. I did this same mod on my 350Z and was worried too but it went smoothly. I used the Berk Resonated test pipes and love them. They had the O2 spacer on them as well. Keep up the good work bro

[@JoeVazquez]

That’s awesome! I was actually looking at the berk ones since I think those are also a great bang per buck!!

[@aza_ace]

My G sounds literally exactly like yours beside the pops and crackles, I have HFC though and its not as raspy imo but yours sounds sick ❤️‍🔥

The smell is crazy so high flow cats honestly would help so much haha, but thank you bro!! 🙏

did you make a video on your exhaust and how you got it to go into “quiet mode and loud mode” if so can u link it ?

[@that_gli_kid7949]

Can you shoot flames with resonated test pipes?

[@tomr1107]

Sick that you got the sponsor. But those don’t have an actual resonator. They use a baffle like the 1320 brand. If you want a real resonator, go with the Berk resonated pipes.

[@gordonsweep]

where did you get that part for the O2 sensors at 1:40 ???? also , no check engine light after ???? please and thank you

[@eman_vq8036]

Bro you should’ve gone with the motordyne art pipes , they probably run about the same price as those you got unless you got a deal on those ?

[@JoeVazquez]

Couple things, you can’t get art pipes delivered to California, and I can’t justify spending 600+ on test pipes haha the test pipes I got were sent out to me so I didn’t pay :)

Good video, my guy.

[@JoeVazquez]

Thanks man I appreciate it!

[@yiannismcguire9118]

I know this was a sponsored mod but I really want to know how the quality is of the part. How do the welds look, are the threads and bolt holes the same as OEM, what was the quality of the supplied hardware? These look like replica Megan racing test pipes (discontinued). Figure they'd be cheaply made but it's the closest thing I've seen to the Megan line. If they're half decent I'd consider getting them.

[@JoeVazquez]

So far so great, I did a exhaust leak test, 0 leaks! The one thing they do is sag the y pipe lower so that can be a problem. Other than that I really do think they’re solid set of test pipes, no check engine light either with the extenders

[@yiannismcguire9118]

@@JoeVazquez Is the sag attributed more so to the angle the test pipes are at or because the fitment doesn't line up well? Trying to see how close to spec they really are. Truly in my car, I don't think I'll have an issue since I have a cat back Borla exhaust with an H pipe. Just double checking though, you get me?

[@JoeVazquez]

The cats have a bracket so when you remove it the test pipes having a flex pipe actually make it sag and don’t retain a bracket. Not a huge deal but metal zip ties would fix it if it bugs you bad enough

[@yiannismcguire9118]

Appreciate the info Joe!

I'm gonna be installing res TPs as well soon. Only problem is gonna be smogs cuz I'm also from Cali 🥲

[@brandony2221]

Great video as usual sir. I went with the Megan resonated test pipes and the Megan Y pipe and I did the Tanabe medalion exhaust on my 04 sedan and mine is sagging like a bitch now because of all the flex and no mounting tabs. So now I get to spend more money having either flex cut out and replaced or extra mounting points put in. Can't win man. Lol

[@JoeVazquez]

Haha I agree with that, muffler shop can help with mounting up some tabs!

[@danielbriseno5746]

🔥🔥🔥, now all that's left is a nice exhaust, an HKS, Tomei or a nice cat back exhaust will definitely add more sound!! 😎

test pipes adds how many horses ?

Exhaust cutout, they’re all over ebay!

[@mrgasbaby]

i actually purchased these test pipes because you made it seem so good but you never mentioned that the flex pipe on the top of the test pipe causes too much vibration for the o2 sensor in the header since it sits right there… these test pipes can potentially knock those sensors out from too much vibration and that’s a 450$ fix for each side because we have 2 headers it would be rounding up to $1k fix all because someone never mentioned test pipes are not supposed to have flex pipes in the first place. moral of the story educate yourself a little more before just listening to this guy before you end up like me . flex pipe on a test pipe is no good what so ever bound to fail lucky if you last even a month like that!

[@JoeVazquez]

I have 2 weeks with them installed and I daily this g35 everyday, I performed an exhaust leak test to see if any leaks were present at all and I had none. Saying there’s potential for the o2 sensors to back out is a valid point but to an extent, mainly because most people’s o2 sensors on the headers are basically rust welded to the header from heat cycles. If it really was too much vibration, the first thing to probably go are the nuts from the test pipes to the headers and those are still tight on my g35. Funny thing is, flex pipes are DESIGNED to do the opposite of creating more vibration (search it up), so idk who you’re getting your information from. The only con I can see with these test pipes is because they have a flex pipe they make the exhaust hang a good amount lower but daily driving this thing, I’ve had 0 issues. I can come back to this comment in 2 months and give you an update of my test pipes but your claims honestly do not make sense.

[@mrgasbaby]

@@JoeVazquez alright man lmk how long your o2 sensors last it won’t make it to 2 months respectfully, like i said flex pipes shouldn’t be on a test pipe you’ll start to see why with time

[@JoeVazquez]

I have poly motor mounts aswell so this is a real test to them, I’ve never heard anyone ever say their o2 sensors backed out from test pipes haha. Like I said idk what sources you have but in real world practice, they have been doing just fine. I wouldn’t promote a product if I didn’t think it was good, these are good for the price you pay. Berk resonated test pipes crack because of stress on them, people complain, then people make test pipes with flex pipes on them, people complain. Like I said flex pipes are designed to reduce vibrations NOT create more.

[@JoeVazquez]

Almost 2 months later and 0 issues, I drive it everyday. Like I said, idk where you’re getting your info from but everything’s been running just fine. O2 sensors are still in place which I knew wouldn’t be an issue, flex pipes look the exact same as when I put them on my car. It’s upsetting to see people talk about a product they have no actual experience with, these test pipes work and serve their purpose in the budget territory. I have nothing but good things to say about them and specially for the price.

[@holeefuk2517]

I don’t think you know what ur talking about. I’ve had these test pipes installed all last summer and have 0 issues lol. And 450$ for a o2 sensor??? Lmao
