Project Seat Time 350z EP.1 Fabricobbling an Exhaust

The seat time z currently is open header, I have a handful of parts to try and make an exhaust for it so I don't have to be that guy with an open header Z

Let me know what you thought of this video!

[@Taylordrifts]

This is why I love youtube, and having this community. I guess I've always heard crappy exhaust VQ's. Looked up some of the mentioned exhausts, and I have to say, they can sound pretty decent!

[@vincentstellato5247]

Taylor Ray I'm from the tampa area and I'm on my 2nd Vq motor. They have a distinct rumble/Chewbacca sound that can sound amazing. The issue is everyone buys cheap test pipes that ruins the sound of the motor. I understand this is a beater and you don't care too much about sound, but look up art pipes with hks or motordyne tue dual exhaust. Hands down the perfect combination and they make more power than straight through test pipes and a single exit exhaust.

[@jordangarman1555]

Vq sound good with the right setup just like bmw m3 they either sound terrible or really good

[@lucascato8621]

Tomei extreme ti is one of the best sounding exhaust on VQ

[@timmcadam6689]

Yeah dude, with the right set up I think they can sound amazing. But they definitely can sound pretty bad if they have a weird exhaust or straight piped. Every engine can sound a little bit weird or not desirable with certain setups

[@b210wah3]

Your little intros/opening scenes are always amazing! I'm in love with your content atm bro! Wishing nothing but the best for you. Probably the highest quality car channel on KZbin imo!

[@Xavier1...]

Hands down agreed

[@jacobsidorov]

yeah for sure, i agree 100%

[@WolfCaller]

Tommy's hand I was just telling/showing my wife the same thing. 100% agreed

[@W94urndks9urneos]

Agreed!

[@krayonss]

Man I don't know if you'll ever see this message, but I love the quality and structure/style of your videos. Some how someone who does one of the most hectic motor sports makes the chilliest videos and they are always a great end to my day. Keep up the good work dude. Big love from the uk

[@Taylordrifts]

Thanks buddy! I appreciate that!

[@scottfelber8451]

I totally agree I’m from Scotland (uk) too and this is defo my favourite car based channel as its all chilled and very real instead of the forced crap you see on most channels (its like its scripted) Taylor is just him doing stuff that he wants and needs to do without too much thought into how he can make everything 10000 miles an hour just chill do it your way and let us watch keep it up Taylor and I for one will keep up watching your videos every upload!

[@ShadowChemos]

I've never disagreed with Taylor, but bro. The vq sounds so awesome, I know it's just opinion but damn I can't believe people think it's bad. As always, great vid!!

[@Tanner731]

they sound like crap without a good exhaust. they need mufflers and resonators bad

[@HarryTwatter]

It sounds terrible straight piped

[@Mugmagazine]

They just SCREAM. *Dying elephant that was only allowed to drink Red Bull it’s entire life*

[@michaelgomez4994]

It’s funny every z bro comes to defend the vq. It’s only good because it’s cheep asf.no matter what 600 exhaust you put on.

[@michaelgomez4994]

I mean when you have the ls1 monster. It really puts the vq in perspective.but again all vq’s are cheep asf so fuck it Let z bros fight

[@jessejcbrl]

Ah I see you watch old Uncle Bumblefuck! Glad to see my favorite KZbinrs also watch my other favorite KZbinrs!

[@rvanfisher]

Jesse Cabral you talking about AvE

[@hamonthvac]

AvE the man. Or sloppy mechanics.

[@sampatton548]

Yaaas Ave. I'm wearing my "engage safety squints" t-shart as we speak!

[@addisonwasiuta6109]

Taylor I know it’s been said but I have to reiterate; your video quality is some of the best I have ever seen. So much effort goes into each shot and it shows. Keep up the great work man!

[@andersonmorgan760]

Fabricobbling? Somebody's been watching AvE.

[@CurtRinehart]

I can't wait until Taylor has his own shop with a lift and all the tools he needs. Crazy fab stuff in the future it seems like, picking up welding really well. When you do have some extra time, maybe do a challenge where you try to fab up your own tube front/rear and bash bars on the 350z. Maybe a drift kart later on? Would be entertaining and a good way to experience building a cage for cheap.

[@CpRoOtY]

Curt Rinehart this comment aged well

[@joshc9846]

This man saw the vision early.

[@leeroy60]

Those tig welds look fine. Better yet, they hold the pipes together. Just picked up a seat time car myself. E46 sedan. And first mod was the exhaust. Keep the vids coming Taylor. Love your grassroots content.

[@jaydendeane1804]

Wes LoGiudice watch out for rear subframe

[@shona5512]

Jayden Deane Yeah he better watch out for that rear subframe issue that never effected his car...

[@affordablepropertymaintena9213]

Jayden Deane I have owned my e46 for 8 years it’s got 217 thousand hard miles. With that being said I have never had a sub frame issue. I have a 2001 325xi. Tune intake exhaust 255hp all motor so it’s not like it’s not getting a beating. I think the subframe issue effected a few higher horsepower e46s like the 330xi. Also if you drift and do burnouts in any car over time the subframe WILL be damaged.

[@metaomicron72]

Seat Time, that definition has become quite popular amongst car youtubers.

[@shona5512]

LazyRock it's everyone's new favourite buzzword. Soon to replace "sketchy".

[@metaomicron72]

Oh good one, also ty, today I learned what a buzzword is (english is not my 1st language)

[@jackbennett2183]

Seat time stallion

[@metaomicron72]

Jack Bennett Hert the man with his simple seat time stallion.

[@ooVEXXXoo]

Taylor you are the only car you tuber that I don’t get tired of watching. I would love it if you did an rx7 build

[@JordanGlennon]

no! thats what every youtube is doing and its annoying

[@shona5512]

jglennon94 There's really not many KZbinrs doing RX7 builds.. it sure as fuck beats _another_ 240 build, or _another_ 350z build or _another_ 2JZ swap.

[@Jerms995]

Fd or FC?

[@ecoboostdeesnuts9352]

One of the best sounding v6s bro u Tripping balls

[@affordablepropertymaintena9213]

Carson Dees exactly what I thought. Add boost and they sound fucking amazing.

[@WS6xMASTER]

i kinda like the sound of VQs

[@mariaa9734]

VQ's are THE BEST SOUNDING ENGINES

[@ForFucksSake57591]

2:00 “vq aren’t the best sounding motors...” :( I love the vq sound!

[@josevilla7442]

Lorentzoe 45 I thought It sounded good

[@Leofred2000]

No 60 degrees v6's sound good, guys

[@michaprzybysz9964]

IMO N/A VQs sounds great, especially with Tomei exhaust.

[@mrmidnight32]

FI sounds even better 😉

[@Jerms995]

Is that a tomei dash?

[@SEEUENTEE]

What I've been waiting for all day got my dinner and Taylor on the big screen😂

[@Taylordrifts]

You da real MVP!

[@SEEUENTEE]

Taylor Ray i got you fam! lol

[@gokartsRfun]

I’ve seen the AvE references a few times. THAT is the best non car channel on KZbin

[@s.r.39]

Your vlogs are simply awesome Taylor. In my opinion, you are the most genuine car KZbinr. No BS, no fluff, just good ole elbow grease, ingenuity, and honesty. Your content is always very interesting, and your editing is definitely on point. Keep up the great works!

[@djshanefirestarter]

You need a million plus more subs bredrin! From the effort that goes into making the intro with the sync up of the audio & video and the work you put into the cinematography (with all those multiple shots) and the even the dad jokes! Easily the most relatable automotive youtuber; I could see us being friends working on cars and junk. Keep it up! Blessings from Jamaica.

[@kentayamaguchi6271]

Taylor you are the reason I still believe in my dream of being an American competitor in the d1gp series, you give everything you got at these videos, even when you’re in your lows.. that commitment motivates me man, seriously I love your vids and your line of cars man, it would be great to meet you irl

[@owenlaue4497]

I love how much effort you put into making your videos, i know from experience how much of a pain it is setting up the camera for b roll shots, but it always turns out really good on your work. Keep it up brother

[@torsten92]

I just want to start it off by saying I really like your videos Man I've always been a car guy I know how to do simple things to a car but watching your videos makes me want to learn more keep up the good work man

[@rechargegamesstudio2803]

thanks for not getting rid of the miata , its the one car that starts everything and you should keep it to remember you how it all started in the end of the day taylor.

[@z33tanner]

VQ's are in my top ten best sounding engines of all time i love the trumpet scream!

[@myracinglife5602]

Great work Taylor. You somehow managed to entertain not only car crowds, but the general vlog watchers also.

[@shreddinthenar]

I really like your "fuck it, it just needs to be done and im not gonna waste time making it perfect" mentality.

[@prodbyrhys]

still one of the best orlando locals around. Thanks for giving me ideas for my seat time Z see you at the learners days soon man.

[@b2lamborgini]

personally i'm a big fan of the VQ sound. Very unique and one of the better sounding V6 engines in my opinion. Obviously you can''t match a straight 6 sound.

[@Dcr701]

b2lamborgini Rotsuns v6 from roadkill sounded amazing.

[@b2lamborgini]

Dcr701 that was an old Chevy 4.3 with a power stroke turbo. Hard sound to replicate lol

[@B1GJuggernaut]

"Just wanna get em snug..." proceeds to hit it with the impact 6 times. 😂😂😂 love the vids man!

[@sepulveda5424]

It’s rad your your self taught, it takes lots of trial and error. Keep it up not all home fabricators dropped dimes right away. Your channel I feel helps people/my self to find the confidence to wrench on their on cars. 👍🏼

[@theblakeslees7065]

Hey, Taylor dunno if you will see this comment or not but I am stoked on the video dude. I am also trying to fab up a custom bit of exhaust and this video gave me some inspiration and motivation to go do it. I’ve been putting it off because I don’t know if I have the skills, know how, Or tools to do it right but I am damn sure going to try! Thanks man

[@skidbits1802]

I’m chillin to this music dude, nice choice. It’s got a lofi feel

[@aleckane99]

Nice! Got a Garage Built hoodie, its cold in DE! All the stuff I build is right out of the back yard garage so its perfect. Keep up the videos, great content helps pass the day by when I have nothing to do at this desk and I am just waiting to go home to build the cars. lol

[@padlockbeats151]

YYEESSS!!!! I'm so stoked for this series!!

[@CDLLunar]

Love the family vids Trev, keep up the good work!

[@MobiusHorizons]

love the AvE reference!! nice video as always.

[@carloscaro860]

Your saying that your doing such bad welds but I’ve never even picked up a welder so the fact that your putting two pieces of metal together makes you good af in my book

[@rubert.]

I love the VQ35 sound! And loving the 350z project 💀

[@rsproductions5]

I love when people shit talk on VQ's. They are an amazing engine and imo they are the LS of the 6 cylinder options. Me and lots of people i know think they sound amazing and its ironic, most people love GTRs sound.... its a modified VQ....

[@santamerd]

Lovinjg this new series, finally something exciting.. I never been really interesting on your vette, sorry dude. But this Z is something else bro, keep up with the mods and updates ! Lets hit 300K by the end of March bro

[@ExhaustedOfficial]

Best style of videos for a build series dude, killing it you are, as yoda would say 😂😂

[@ImportJunkyz]

Idunno why but this is one of my favourite videos you've done. and ive been here since sc300 osw drift.. haha

[@CJdriftZ]

Good job Taylor love your vids man! Wish I didn't work so early so I could drift with you on LFS!

[@gtojoe8990]

Dang first time it's taken you more than a day or 2 to upload in awhile! Glad your back man!

[@michael987s2]

Skookum as frig! Nice man some progress is progress

[@MrFoulksy]

Project Zeat Time.

[@Mugmagazine]

MrFoulksy w

[@NaxRydan]

Nailed it.

[@TKBeeCee]

its up there in the top 3 most fun things fabricobbling exhausts with whatever you have lying around and just making it work. also those welds are better than me with a gasless mig goin hard haha

[@epaul88]

before and after sounds so much better. but all the 350z's i've heard sound amazing.

[@juzio1993]

Taylor makes one of the coolest videos on YT!!!

[@tyrusirvine9222]

I use red hi-temp RTV on all my exhaust flanges, even headers. Ive had glowing red hot v8 headers and it takes the abuse beautifully. 10/10 would recommend

[@TheDruxlol]

vq with the correct exhaust setup is one of the wildest sounding motors out there zz... especially HR's

[@zfried4357]

glad to see you got a seat time car. everyone needs a seat time car.

[@jblazeya2]

I'm so happy you got a 350z bc you make dope Vids and I have a 350z. Interested in how to make a drift missile using the Z33 platform. Look forward to the videos

[@AfroMyrdal]

That tool you tried at 17:00 try modding it?! You know how to make stuff now! Try some rollers of some sort so you can turn the pipe without lifting to keep a straight line! Love, absolutely love your videos and the quality man. You've come so far.

[@dagrumpz8661]

Oh the VQ trumpet sound, idk man I really do love the way they sound.

[@jamescardona9412]

I really love and enjoy you channel you really have talent keep up the good work👍

[@craf-t7521]

I won't lie, I love the sounds of the VQ motor. Sounds mean with the test pipes

[@tylerthies4822]

Taylor, I was litteraly thinkingv about the same song as soon as you said you were popping the trunk 🤣🤣

[@ridedawn2071]

Hey Taylor look into copper spoons or bronze spoons for welding with gaps they allow u to weld the gap without worry really .

[@Kaidmz]

That Yelawolf reference ! Haha Loce you man. Great vid!

[@harujp2]

Also, sounds wayyyyy good! I'm sure in person it's 20 times better.

[@CRFHONDARIDER100]

Your welds are not bad at all my friend good work!

[@jarentimmer9226]

You keep picking up all the car I want.... please don’t stop! Haha

[@Andysavyd69]

Yesssss seat time car vid!!

[@shanepepich2419]

You can test to see if a piece of steel is stainless or not by checking to see if it sticks to the magnet...if it doesn't stick its stainless. Love the vids!

[@mitchellhinman6078]

Taylor, when you are welding something that thin to something more thick, try to focus more of the arc (heat) into the flange. Your welds got hot, and you can tell because they are grey. If you are running at the right amps and have a good travel speed along with enough gas it will have colors in it. I love your content man keep it up! CLEAN YOUR METAL!!!!

[@Zainathan]

thanks to taylors expressed love of s chassis, miata project and badass new Z. i currently want one of those (or all three) of his cars lmao. not to mention the vette

[@ylamota2102]

Never commented on youtube but I was wondering when you were gonna get a Z for seat time. I like the DriftVet but I've thought the Z is a good drift platform. Wish you the best with the Seat Time Z and the Miata, now i can watch and see what i need to drift my Z. Hope to meet ya one day at OSW bud!

[@MRTYREMULISHA]

nice man that lsx on the stand looks like it wants in on the Nissan haha,your tig welding is getting better,clean fit up is key to nice welds!! :)

[@Hayleboi]

Great job Taylor!

[@moppyflow7]

VQs actually sound pretty good for a V6. Especially with the right exhaust.

[@AndrewKlaassen]

A Miata, a 350z and a Corvette. Talk about living the dream!

[@Redrider546]

When you"re in a time crunch and need a exhaust gasket you can cut one from a soda can. It may not work for the long term or barely work at all but its better than nothing

[@SortaProfessional89]

Youre welding skillz have got real good 🤙👌

[@JaredDermody]

@ 3:19 there is a little pull down tab on the rear sway bar that you pull to do it from the inside of the car to pop the trunk

[@Holdeenio]

That actually sounded pretty good on my headphones 👌

[@fennellyj1]

Damn roasting VQ sounds, that's crazy...they definitely sound pretty awesome. You must hear some janky Florida exhaust systems haha!

[@jacobharmon2085]

Tight video homie. Car sounds good, Dont hate on the vq too much.

[@moggys13]

good work! i know its just a thrash car but could you get a few cans of blue mixed up and paint those front fenders, it would make the car look so much more legit and less trashy

[@vaclavkhun4416]

The welds are getting better and better

[@bonecrrusherSS]

Taylor - checkout the Harbor Freight Band Saw - and SWAG offroad vertical band saw table. Pretty cheap way to get a band saw - and it doesn't take up that much room.

[@Liftedchevy931]

Everyone has to start somewhere and you did a decent job on that. Tig welding is a pain in the a$$ to learn and alot to have to keep up with

[@randalanderson4722]

I think spark arresters are the same thread as O2 sensors, easy to get and weld shut for o2 block offs. the help isle strikes again!

[@CKilger12]

HEY VQs SOUND GREAT....especially when coupled with a CVT lol........Love my VQs

[@MOONFOG.]

nice work man keep up the great work...

[@ExhaustedOfficial]

Project seat time I bloody love it 👍🏻

[@graphics-sector]

My brother has the ISR blast pipes catback on his 350z and it makes me jealous gona have to get it for my G

[@efsforlife7578]

Taylor you are the coolest person bro I like your style brother

[@dustinabbatoye1176]

Hey man, not sure if you will even see this but just have a quick tip for welding pipe. Block off the ends of the pipe and purge it with argon.

[@movingtohawaii1238]

Bro that sounds so much better

[@lord_wreckit3296]

Was thinking of the same song when u said pop the trunk hahaha keep up the good content bruh

[@Stanleydirt617]

I love these build vids

[@SethDavis96]

So excited for this !!

[@karlotuazon6057]

Tbh this 350 better have some love in the future. Make it look pretty

[@Adz01992]

Welcome to the Z family

[@SwishaSilva]

You obviously haven't heard a VQ paired up with either a Motordyne or Tomei exhaust. It's far too easy to make one sound like shit If you cheap out

[@johnkelleher5402]

To open the trunk you either have to push the button on the fob, push the button by the license plate or if your car came with it, you'll have a secret latch underneath the rear tower brace.

[@Mort-_-]

Favourite KZbinr every video never fails to entertain me ❤️

[@brian62793]

As soon as you said pop the trunk I sang that song in my head then you said it haha.
