In cooperation with "Get Bent Fabrication" we have designed our Ultra free flowing headers and exhaust system for the 350Z.  We took a close look at all the other systems being offered and decided to approach it a little differently. It will be available very soon.

The headers are a very straight forward mid-length design made of 14 gauge mild steel (.083 wall thickness). Most other companies are using flimsy 18 gauge with a .047 wall. The primary tubes are 1 5/8" and use 2 1/2" collectors with convenient ball/socket flanges. They are longer than the stock manifolds and will require our converters or extended hook-up pipes.

The hi-flow catalytic converters are the Random Technology 2 1/2" 590 cfm metallic series. They have been tested at the track against straight pipes and the numbers were virtually identical.  2 1/2" extended hook-up pipes (off-road use only)  are also available. Both will bolt between our headers and the stock cat-back exhaust location.

We made the prototype exhaust system out of 14 gage mild steel (.083 wall thickness). It is a true dual exhaust with a balance pipe. The entire exhaust system is made of dual 2 1/4" tubing. We chose the SpinTech "Pro Street" series mufflers for their awesome sound and flow characteristics. They are known for their very deep and bold sound at idle and cruising and NASCAR-like song at WOT! We did not agree with the stock or most available after market muffler location because of the need to add bends and turns in the exhaust path. This is not desired and not necessary. Both Pro Street mufflers reside next to one another under the stock heat shields. The exhaust tips are made of 4" mirror polished stainless steel to allow for a stock appearance.

The Get Bent Fabrication "True Flow Balance Pipe" is an exclusive design based on lots of research and development in exhaust technology.

The sound of this system must be heard to be believed! At idle it sounds like a well tuned V8. Tap the throttle and "Indy" comes to mind.

The performance from our complete system is also something the other companies have not been able to offer. The engine revs more freely and the increase in power is amazing!  The 2003 model we used gained 22 HP and 16.7 lbs./ft of torque at the rear wheels. This was achieved with the above described exhaust, headers and extended hook-up pipes.

We will be offering a couple different systems as we understand not everyone wants such an extreme system. We plan to offer the above as our "Track system", available in 2 1/4" or 2 1/2" for those with nitrous or forced induction applications. We will also be offering a quieter system utilizing quad mufflers or removable rear mufflers for the best of street and strip.

Please take a look at the dyno graph and print-outs below.

Installation of the headers is accomplished entirely from below and does NOT require anything but the cold air system to be removed.  You DO NOT have to drain the block, the radiator, remove the water pipe, disconnect the steering shaft, etc....  In fact, you don't even have to remove the dust cover on the bottom. This ease of installation saves lots of time, labor and most important if you are paying for the install:  YOU SAVE MONEY!

                    We are in the process of moving to a new shop. We still have about 2 to 3 weeks worth of fabrication and design before the first headers and/or exhaust are ready for shipping. We appreciate your interest in our products. We also understand the apprehension of purchasing new products without any other feed back, experience or opinion from fellow owners. So we are offering the first 5 customers a "Test & Feedback" price.   Please inquire from our contact page.   

We will also be releasing a drive shaft safety loop to replace the flimsy, stock part. Driveshaft loops are required for certain racing applications and are a good idea for street use as they offer added protection if the driveshaft should fail.
