Thanks to AG1 for sponsoring today’s video! Huge shoutout to Gels for losing some knuckles and patience with me on this too, he's the real MVP

[@Treaxvour]

Nissan actually replicated how difficult it is to do headers in a 280zx. Nice.

[@Raiugabe]

Heritage ‼️🗿💪🔥🔥

[@AlexMartini.]

This has me laughing more than it should

[@davidsantos6317]

Nobody gonna mention the Z poopin??? lmaoo 15:26

[@Ordep1313]

It was a dump too, straight log

[@MartiniWorksOfficial]

That shit was hilarious (see what I did there)

[@AJv-kb2pc]

ive done a ton of these on q60 and q50 for 5 years now. tips and tricks- remove all transmission mount bracket bolts and lower the rear of the transmission to tilt the engine back, also the engine craddle subframe remove the bolts all that way until the last 2-3 threads and that will drop the engine 3-4 inches lets you manuever your hands better around all those hard to reach bolts. only a few times i needed to drop the entire subframe to remove those hard to reach bolts not that difficult to remove the subframe but you need to tie the engine up with a beam above the engine while the subframe is removed. adds about 2 hours or so to the job but saves your hands from hell its more required on the awd cars than the rwd drives

[@Gtshiftin6]

On q50 3.0ts full downpipes overspools stock turbos and seals go bye bye and tune is mandatory just a heads up

[@CraigBrosRacing]

😮HE LITERALLY REVVED THE SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT OUTTA THAT PIECE!!!😌💯👍😁💩

[@durdy911]

why everyone got a problem with Cats? I love Cats.

[@AlexMartini.]

Honestly same

[@jaythemusicman801]

Cats is awesome

[@Underpantsniper]

Cats make my engine purr at idle

[@robo1000]

Always wanted a turbo z so I was excited to hear about the new one. However the more I learn about working on them, the more I’m wary. Glad you guys got it!

[@TorqueMotorsport-io]

The hardest part of this video wasn't the downpipes, it was Alex not saying "at the end of the day" let's be honest.

[@philtheoccultist]

11:24 the z turned gels to a maniac 😭😭😭

[@dannunez671]

I got that motor in my Q60. Definitely sounds better with both cats removed and full exhaust. I’ve been looking to do something similar, but only the lower down pipes and Ark grip exhaust. I definitely want to see your power gains after the intake and tune.

[@simyjay]

Great vid! Would love to see one on the ‘fuel starvation’ issue and how you guys approach/fix it. I heard the fix/mod is also a bit of a pain to do.

[@KSwapTheWorld69]

I love this kinda video! 😄

[@slfrules1]

I wish i still had enough hair for a mullet. rocking the Friar John these days

[@captaindavidjones844]

15:26 sooooo...we're just supposed to ignore the fact that your exhaust took a dump 😂? Wtf was that lol?

[@AlexMartini.]

No comment

[@idotg2012]

lol the Supra sticker ad “Daaaaaamn”

[@matthewdragan5780]

It’s like watching Kip train at a trade school

[@AlexMartini.]

lmfao

[@gigamix7394]

It was awesome to see this after hearing it in the podcast

[@KSwapTheWorld69]

Was this your first Paid Advertisement? That's sick! I'm gonna have to try AG1

[@AlexMartini.]

Thank you, it was our first integrated YT one and we loved it hahaha

[@Swagthizzle]

I traded in my 2021 A91 Supra which had the full Fi Exhaust, Catless Downpipes, Valvetronic kit and Eventuri Carbon Intake for the new 2024 NISMO. Now what I want to know is, where do I order the setup from for Z? In the past I ordered from A90Shop for the Supra.

[@AlexMartini.]

You can snag it from us actually! We have it on the MartiniWorks site here: martiniworks.com/products/performance/exhaust/fi-exhaust-frequency-intelligent-exhaust-2023-nissan-rz34-z-400z/

[@Swagthizzle]

@AlexMartini. What's yalls take on catless vs the 200 cell version?

[@TheRealSkullduggery]

Wait is this what you were talking about in the podcast?!

[@AlexMartini.]

Yes sirrrrr

[@datguy013]

Some cars just refuse to make things easy.

[@MrGuitarko]

Nice video guys, you have my unconditional like. Not sure about the mod, though. For me, sound did not improve 🤔 Quite the opposite tbh. But hey! You're still awesome. Good luck with the build 👍

[@danzeppetello2608]

Absolute banger of a video. I could not stop laughing. 😂

[@AlexMartini.]

Means the world

[@josephdilley4623]

Why did a piece of shit fly out of the exhaust LMAO I have so many questions

[@angelo6167]

Lol basically working on a modern day 300zx

[@AlexMartini.]

Nailed it.

[@24zer0nd]

part of the reason the early 350z trombone so hard is the stock headers are much worse design than the later models

[@KindaKyle36]

Great video alex!! Do you think a lift would have made the job easier? Just a curious jack stand mechanic myself

[@AlexMartini.]

Oh god yeah, we need a lift yesterday

[@andydhillon1977]

That sounds pretty good!

[@sebastianmorrison6114]

I always soak the heat wrap in water so fiberglass Particles don’t get everywhere

[@Joolz1982]

Almost as if Nissan did not want anyone to change the exhaust.

[@Mirage8v]

Me getting cringe with the wrench touching the strut tower bar (and everything else). Next time tape the tools with duct tape and put some covers/bblankets on the car/engine bay :P. Very much a "Hubnut" vibe from this video.

[@MidwestCedric]

My back hurts just watching this 😬

[@juicetahn]

great vid!

[@georgemcunty6383]

Do more of this

[@suddendeath6959]

At the end of the video it sound like the Z has an exhaust leak near the O2 sensor, smoke the pipes.

[@fahadazad3263]

You do it on a lift, makes your life a lot easier

[@AlexMartini.]

Will it lift my spirits too?

[@fahadazad3263]

@@AlexMartini. yes

[@thegarbear05]

Catless the world

[@heftygainz]

There's videos out there showing exactly how to get them out and what tools to use. You guys should have checked lol. They made it SO MUCH easier for me

[@touayaaj84]

I can replace a Supra cat in literally 10 minute. B58 ftw. 😂

[@AlexMartini.]

Don't rub it in that hurts

[@mikekriegler4119]

I feel a lift is much needed in the shop. Just saying

[@AlexMartini.]

We're begging, pleading for one rn. Might have to invest

[@charmainepetersen8904]

hi guys, my advice would be, drop a jz in that bitch, yes it will be a pain at first but in the end ul have a car that makes the rite noises and ease of maintenance, v6 can be pain, straight six not so much as u have space around it to work

[@Deathscroll41]

Doesn't sound good to me😢 Nevermind. Spoke too soon. It sounds great 😂

[@wyattsantoneengledow4167]

Way to early for my own good. Probably the first time I’ve been first

[@AlexMartini.]

I know that feeling 🫠

[@EmperorXFilmZ]

Looks like ill never buy that car (ie i cant afford that car) 😂

[@kdash0213]

The gtr is pretty bad too.

[@Carlos.Rivera]

Next time, ask a professional Scotty Kilmer could had that done in one take while screaming Nissan is garbage

[@DiegoGonzalez-ol4wo]

It’s nothing special it’s literally a Q50

[@On3_media]

My favorite part is taking off those 10’s from the heat shield and never being able to put them back on 🫠
