Did We Find The Best Exhaust For The 2023 Nissan Z?!

[@vivid_racing]

What do you all think of this ARMYTRIX exhaust system for the Nissan Z?

[@RadDadisRad]

It’s good

[@lachyarrighi1797]

That extra button on the bottom of the FOB that you weren't sure the purpose of is actually one of it's coolest features: Auto Mode. it will automatically close and open the valves based on boost pressure and rpm. Sounds absolutely incredible though, thanks for the upload.

[@AaronLatimer]

I would never close the valves if I had that exhaust

[@RadDadisRad]

Sounds pretty good open. Not too loud with just the perfect amount of burble.

[@vivid_racing]

Guess you have to buy the exhaust then and show us

[@madrx2]

That exhaust is a work of art! I ordered a Z two weeks ago, now the wait begins :(

[@vivid_racing]

Awesome!! You're going to love it! Let us know if you need parts for it/recommendations

[@madrx2]

@@vivid_racing Will do, being the nismo the exhaust might be ok. But anything else Vivid will be the first place I try source it from :)

[@javierlimon210]

Sounds good you can hear the turbos 🔥

[@vivid_racing]

Truth! It sounds great for a twin turbo V6

[@lord_raedan]

Sounds like Paul Walker's skyline in 2 Fast 2 Furious.

[@vivid_racing]

THATS WHAT WE LIKE TO HEAR

[@ryen49]

motordyne with ams lower downpipes sounds amazing on vr30

[@vivid_racing]

Agreed! Should we make a video on both of those?

[@scotthameister2773]

Sounds like a damn trumpet

[@locophoto6881]

Would love to hear this but with Motordyne ART pipes instead for that deeper tone rumble and unique sound.

[@vivid_racing]

That would sound so good!

[@400zFairlady]

This gives me ideas for mine

[@vivid_racing]

That is a good thing😈

[@michaeldisalvo]

Excellent video.

[@vivid_racing]

Thank you!

[@GregDZ33]

Definitely better than stock!

[@vivid_racing]

Agreed!

[@chrishayden4048]

That sounds sick!

[@vivid_racing]

Preciate you!

[@Mattrz34]

HKS exhaust takes the cake

[@vivid_racing]

We have put 4 different exhausts on this car, and surprisingly we have not tried HKS yet

[@Unxpekted]

@@vivid_racingloved the Motordyne Shockwave for the 370z but not sure if they’re producing one for the new Z

[@omarstephenson8967]

Sounds clean

[@vivid_racing]

Appreciate that Omar!

[@osamanaeem3932]

Is there any check light after installing Dps?

[@rafaelmramirez291]

I kind of expected the VR30 to sound more like a VQ37 with this setup. I think I like my VQ37 with the armytrix better for now 😅😅

[@vivid_racing]

Nice. What do you think about the Apex'i exhaust? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZbSg5h5mp6HqLM

[@Wiggy321]

That exhaust does sound really good. Side note....the driver is sitting way too close to the steering wheel and air bag. She's gonna get really hurt if there is an accident. Recline the seat back. Also helps with free range of arm movement

[@vivid_racing]

She's like 5'1" she wouldn't be able to reach the pedals if she was back any further 😂

[@radzchinr2729]

you never go wrong with armytrix!! do you need to tune for that since you replaced the downpipes? does it throw codes?

[@vivid_racing]

We're working on an ECU flash now!

[@AlfredoElDorado]

Interesting. I plan on getting one but without downpipes to keep the warranty. Do you reckon it will yield a loud enough sound when the valves are open?

[@vivid_racing]

They sound MUCH better than stock even with factory downpipes.

[@AlfredoElDorado]

Is the catback a seperate option or must i order both the catback and downpipe?

[@tadehpetrossian5698]

When you guys installed the downpipe did it throw a check engine light on? BTW what cat back exhaust from ARMY TRAX are you using? Because they have different types.

[@vivid_racing]

If you put a catless downpipe on the car you will have a light.

[@93ksj]

What are those wheels? look incredible on the Z

[@vivid_racing]

VR Forged baby!

[@gibbyboy66]

Do you do installs for people? I want this on my 2023 Z

[@vivid_racing]

One of our performance specialists can help you out with this question! Feel free to reach out to us!

[@OEMPlus]

sounds dope

[@vivid_racing]

Agreed!

[@jakelonar3882]

Did you guys get the catted or catless downpipe?

[@vivid_racing]

High flow cats!

[@BriCLK]

As a new 2024 Nissan Z owner, I'm curious what your thoughts are regarding the appropriate break-in period is for a new Nissan Z. Thanks! 😁

[@vivid_racing]

We did around 1,500 mile break in time!

[@BriCLK]

@@vivid_racing 👍 Super! That is where I was, as well. I appreciate the confirmation. Great site! 🏁💯💢🤑

[@trerobin3788]

What rims are those??

[@vivid_racing]

Vr Forged D03-RMS

[@2seep]

It’s a good exhaust compared to the competition, but borla is by far better. It sound NA from 700-4500k rpm.

[@vivid_racing]

Should we install a Borla?????

[@Inv1989]

How much weight difference

[@vivid_racing]

Around 15 pounds!

[@jcproductions89]

Best exhaust is a vibrant muffler single exit with a resonator . Like on my car on my KZbin and the same for the go racebox shop car

[@vivid_racing]

Single muffler is a hot take but to each his own!

[@tadehpetrossian5698]

Are you guy's going to tune the Nissan z? With downpipe you need to tune the car so it runs proper.

[@vivid_racing]

it was tuned with ecutek before we sold it. we no longer own the car.

[@tadehpetrossian5698]

@@vivid_racing oh ok I see. Yea the whole exhaust system from Army TRAX sounded good. I checked out the price 5000 dollars for the whole exhaust system. That's pricey. I have a stock 2024 nismo z but I am planning on getting a nismo street cat back exhaust and a nismo air intake both are C.A.R.B. LEGAL because I live in California and I have to pass smog.

[@carjuncky1]

Crazy the Z is going for 50k+ 😢

[@RadDadisRad]

I know. My 2023 F150 super crew with a 5.0 and a 3.0 Whipple blower cost less.

[@vivid_racing]

Price is steep, that's for sure

[@RadDadisRad]

@@Mattrz34 lol, I’m going over speed bumps not stopping for them. Sorry but the Z isn’t what it used to be.

[@id1965]

@@RadDadisRad Common misconception. The Z didn't change, you did.

Nice vid install! But its still too quiet for my taste! Im on my 7th VQ Z , an all of them had full exhaust tht ripped wen getn on it! Those resonators are holden the exhaust back from its true snd an potential! 💪🚗💨💨💨😎

[@vivid_racing]

Stock VR platforms are pretty quiet unfortunately, but once you switch upper and lower downpipes, it sounds incredible!

What’s the weight difference vs stock?

That's actually a really good question. Subscribe and hit the notifications bell and we'll address that in a future video.

[@Ersy90]

Police in Germany would start shooting at you with this exhaust on your car.

[@vivid_racing]

Do they have guns in Germany? I thought they got banned cause of that thing that happened in the 1940’s

[@Falco_e46]

@@vivid_racingcourse they do lol

[@AllOutNoobHater]

$1800 for downpipes and $2400 (currently due to sale) for the exhaust? What kind of crack are these manufacturers smoking?

[@nighttrain1565]

On my screen it looks like it is a pale blue in the thumbnail, would be awesome If they actually had a pale blue one in that shade.

[@vivid_racing]

It looks pale blue ender certain light in real life as well!

[@lamontevlogs]

When looking for wheels, best tip? 4:20 - I have a sport Z atm and I'm ready to mod this mf lol

[@ctrfk8740]

Bend your knees girlfriend 😊

[@vivid_racing]

Lift with the back

[@Agui86]

I love the sound and the rear of this car but damnit if that’s one ugly unfinished front design. Hopefully there’s a better front bumper out there.

[@vivid_racing]

That's why we are coming out with aero kit for the Z! Stay tuned

[@skip741x3]

I gotta agree with the other commenter.. the nose on the Z killed its looks and Does look unfinished...The nizmo front end looks Alot better and there have been some online shots of another split opening front that looked killer....be cool to see you apply a facelift on the Z....the exhaust sounded Great!@@vivid_racing

You can only get so much out of a Twin turbo v6. It’s a great car, but I agree. The price point is pretty steep
