Motordyne XYZ Pipe Install Nissan 350Z/ Infiniti G35 | AnthonyJ350

Great comparison and install video! Did you notice a change in low end torque? Thanks!

I have always used 1qt of Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer, 4qt's of Royal Purple 10-30 Synthetic oil, and a K&N oil filter on all my cars for the past 20-25 yrs, and have never had any issues with that setup. I have gotten many thumbs up for it.

Another youtuber Motordyne G35 did a video on oil for the VQ35 and brought up this lab that analyses oils based on what oil was used and what debris are in the oil. Its blackstone labs you can check out their results to find which oil you wanna use based off of actual results. N btw castrol proves to be a good oil for the vq from those results. Love the vids man keep em comin!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Ya I saw that video a while back and found it interesting. A few guys a I know with VQ's use Castrol and I was able to get a good price for it now so I figure I'd switch over and try it. I think regular maintenance intervals are more important overall though. Did you see all the magnets I put on my filtration system? :D

[@EriksWorld14]

There's a whole science to oil quality, and it is profoundly complex. However, I found that Amsoil, and eneos fully synthetic are the best oils for 350z's. There are a plethora of UOA's that support that they are indeed the best oil's for our cars. Even when doing 3,000 mile intervals, the trace elements found that indicate wear were significant when compared to other fully synthetic oils.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Erik J That's interesting, the car only been getting Eneos till this video. Can you link some of analysises?

[@EriksWorld14]

my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/258663-vq-oil-analysis-and-info.html This is an old thread concerning UOA's for our engine. From my testing (2 UOA's for amsoil and 2 for Eneos), Eneos outperformed amsoil, which is largely considered to be the very best when it comes to wear trends. Eneos' current GF-5 oil is not mentioned in the article (or if it it is not the current "formula"), but I have researched the exact specifications for the oil, and the results I've been getting with my HR, which has 160k miles on it, far exceed cars with less miles. I also Dynoed my car at 289HP to the wheels on eneos oil with at least a thousand city miles on it, and the OUA after did not show above average wear from what I have been getting in the past. I'm super big into reliability, so I probably care about this more than is needed haha.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Erik J Doesn't the Castrol perform a little better than the Eneos in that chart?

[@EriksWorld14]

When I was researching exhausts in order to determine the best pre manufactured exhaust setup, I debated the motordyne ART pipes+y pipe+shockwave setup. However, Tomei's exhaust system just cannot be matched in terms of the R&D done to optimize. Motordyne has done their homework too, but i'm quite content with my my Tomei setup. And perhaps most importantly, its almost entirely rasp free!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Erik J Those single exit exhaust systems sound really good. It's just not my taste for styling though. Great product though.

[@EriksWorld14]

Lol I spoke hypothetically about something I researched about a year ago when I was looking for a nice exhaust system. Why would I mentioned the fact I had impulsively bought two exhausts (since bragging about your parts list online doesn't get you anywhere)? I bought the Motordyne and Tomei setup within three months of one another since I had to wait nearly four months to acquire the Tomei because it had been back ordered. I impulsively bought the Motordyne setup, since I had already acquired ART pipes, and the exhaust leak I had at my Y pipe was making my car sound like a weed wacker lol. I had the money to throw at it so I did, and I figured it would be relatively easy to sell it since it has become such a popular exhaust. Because I was initially disillusioned by the fact that I had to wait so long for my first choice, I consolidated myself with my 2nd choice. Despite running the Motordyne shockwave for 3-4 months, and falling in love with the throaty punch and depth of sound, I was too excited about having a full Tomei setup and the prospect of tuning, that I didn't think twice about switching it out. I have not missed the motordyne, except when sitting in traffic (: But thank you again for making it obvious how inexcusably hypocritical, unapologetically biased, and shamelessly ignorant you are, big guy. I'm beginning to think your unnecessary antagonizing, and persistent (baseless) claims, are your attempt to compensate for something else (; .

[@AnthonyJ350]

I think the Motordyne "Sales Rep" retracted his comment or KZbin finally figured out how to filter out conceded people with their algorithm.

[@EriksWorld14]

He's an idiot. I know you are too nice to say it (or rather you're simply too professional hehe), but I don't know of any other way to describe him. "Motordyne 'Sales Rep'" haha, thats fantastic. He definitely retracted his comment, since I probably hit the nail on the head with regards to my last few words... Or KZbin's AI is just that amazing.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Erik J Well I finally had the chance to critique his work because I finally saw his amp install in one of his videos. I made a long list of improvements. I was given flak because I bring my car to shops for some work, and that's because I want the best result if I'm inexperienced in the manner. We can see when parts aren't prefabbed for him like the exhaust the workmanship is low.

Very thorough and technical walkthrough. Subscribed!

Thanks for watching!

[@koniko169]

Just did a 4 brembo caliper upgrade, you are like millimeters away from being on the money for jack stands. You dont put them horizontally right on the pinch seam or closer to the outsides of the car right on the side skirt plastic. It has a thick ass solid spot near the wheel wells just along the inside side of the car. My past 3 nissan/infinity cars have had the spot where you put your stands crumpled in pretty severely. These cars arent designed to have that much weight on the unibody. Especially with any rust it could punch trough randomly while being held up. Stay safe out there 👍

[@AnthonyJ350]

koniko169 To play devil's advocate, how come there is no damage on my car?

[@koniko169]

That reminds me of a guy I worked with, older gentleman who smoked for decades and doesn’t have cancer or health problems. Doesn’t mean I’m going to recommend smoking to people as a way to live a long life.

[@Imheem90]

Do you know if this XYZ pipe will fit with an ISR single exit exhaust?

[@AnthonyJ350]

It matched with my first exhaust system in the video and then I swapped to a Tanabe system with no issues. So if your new system is for a factory y-pipe I think it will fit fine.

[@g35tho11]

Let’s say these motordyne y pipe is out my budget range what would be the next set of y pipes you would recommend ??

[@AnthonyJ350]

The Megan Racing y-pipe is a decent quality piece.

[@KewlBreezeKeez]

Do you think this would fit an HR? & also, does implementing the highflow cat let you pass emissions / inspection, with no check engine light?

[@AnthonyJ350]

It should fit, but I would confirm on their website. If you remove the factory cats without tuning the vehicle you may trip a check engine light. Heavily consider an UPREV tune after doing all your bolt-on mods.

[@ovidiscool]

the sound hasnt changed much when your on it sadly i was also hoping it was an exhaust leak

[@AnthonyJ350]

I'm going to do a rolling shot video. The tone has changed slightly but when driving it's significantly smoother now. It's hard to show what it sounds like just in a little culdesac. The mid-range power and throttle response is slightly better from feel.

[@MotordyneG35]

The exhaust note has not changed.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Motordyne G35 You need to watch my Reduce Rasp video where there's more shots. It's not exactly where I want it but it is better.

[@mikewaite3746]

One of my latest upgrades to my stock 350Z I did a nismo S-tune mid pipe & muffler all my gosh what a huge difference ! I am still running the factory y-pipe have you noticed any difference in power output after you had it dynoed changing out the y-pipe? Thank you for taking the time to answer ☺️ Mike from Seattle

[@AnthonyJ350]

Low end power seemed a little better and the car was just smoother.

There's the Z Shop in Surrey. Dan specializes in Z cars in general. I recommend Berk resonated test pipes (fairly affordable) and run the Motordyne XYZ pipe with a high flow cat.

[@GideonDippenaar]

Good vid, hope you let the exhaust warm up naturally by letting it idle :P Exhaust instructions, section and info was great... I don't believe in aftermarket oil filters and especially NOT in Castrol, no matter what level... And besides a well run in Z shouldn't run on anything less than a 10wXX ... Use Liqui Moly Touring High Tech Special 15w40 with MoS2 Liqui Moly oil additive and your exhaust smoke will be gone, oil pressure exactly on its mark and no hassle of worry if your'e leaking if your gauge shows up correctly ;)

[@AnthonyJ350]

Gideon Dippenaar Thanks! I can tell you at idle the car on Castrol is more quiet. I just put in the recommended oil viscosity the manufacturer recommends.

[@GideonDippenaar]

I work @ Audi now and we use Engen (Mobil) even though the cap says Castrol, but in my long term experience with Castrol ( :O ) Seriously Gunks up oil galleries... Clean your oil cap nice and shiny (I saw you know how to clean ;) Big thumbs up on that btw!!!) and keep a eye on oil Vapour that hardens on it (+-2500km should show)... Thats the biggest problem I have with Castrol... Strange that it's quieter, actually impressed :? Checking out your other vids now, very nice!!! Dig your style! Hope to chat again!!!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Interesting because the VW/ Audi dealership that my friend works at the techs love the Castrol professional. Now the cars you see the oil galleries gunk up, is that your own vehicle or customers? Because a lot of the new Audis are small displacement turbo applications that make good power but generate a lot of heat. Is it possible customers are driving the car hard and not allowing the cars to cool down enough and are not changing the oil at recommended intervals? A lot of VQ owners also prefer to use Castrol Synthetic if you talk to other owners. 2 of my other friends have VQ motors and theirs were always more quiet than mine till I switched over. I have a video where I do a heat test and someone commented how loud mine was at idle vs the other vehicle.

[@GideonDippenaar]

AnthonyJ350 Customers cars. I won't use anything other than Liqui Moly again. Had a '69 Triumph Spitfire and a Opel Corsa that both started getting clogged.. The walls in the engine dries out, the oil runs down and the last bit dries to a crisp, leaving a NASTY deposit... Not sure how the new oil fairs, but I can definitely still see that drying up process...

Hey Anthony! Any plans to switch out your test pipes for art pipes? I look forward you hearing the new tanabe set up. I'm surprised you're not opting for a genuine s-tune instead. I'm sure you can pick one up used for cheap (same goes for the art pipes).
