Delete the last bit of restriction and shave even more weight with the Tomei Expreme 16" Titanium Straight Pipes and 3" Titanium Y-Pipe, because this is the front-half combo Tomei designed to pair with their Expreme Ti catback for G37, 370Z, and Q50 3.0t, and it replaces the heavy factory mid-pipes and crimped OEM Y-pipe with full JIS grade titanium construction that drops pounds and maximizes flow, and the Y-pipe is a true 76mm/3" merge collector that smooths exhaust pulses from both banks into a single high-velocity stream instead of the choked, crushed-bend design Nissan used from the factory, and that means better scavenging, faster turbo spool on VR30DDTT, and stronger midrange and top-end on VQ37VHR, and the 16" straight pipes are also full 76mm titanium with no resonators, no mufflers, and no chambering, so you get straight-through flow and the rawest, most aggressive Tomei sound possible when paired with the Ti catback, and the sound gets sharper, louder, and higher-pitched, with that signature titanium rasp at WOT that cuts through like a GT car, and you’ll hear every cam and ignition event, and the weight savings are real because the stock G37/370Z mid-pipe + Y-pipe section is over 25 lbs of stainless and the Tomei Ti combo is under 7 lbs total, so you’re pulling another 18+ lbs out of the middle of the car, and the titanium handles heat cycles from track days, roll racing, or back-to-back pulls without blueing past the welds or cracking, and it will never rust or corrode, and the 3-bolt flanges are CNC machined from titanium with proper gasket surfaces so they seal perfect to OEM cats, test pipes, or Tomei headers, and to the Expreme Ti catback, and the pipe routing is mandrel-bent with no neck-downs or crush sections so you keep full 3" ID the entire way, and fitment is dialed for 2008-2015 G37 Coupe/Sedan RWD/AWD, 2009-2020 370Z RWD, and 2016-2023 Q50 3.0t RWD/AWD, and it tucks high for slammed cars and clears all factory bracing and diffs, and the Y-pipe merge is hand-welded and back-purged so the inside is smooth with no slag or turbulence, and when you combine this with the Expreme Ti catback you get the lightest full titanium exhaust system available for the VQ/VR platform, and the total system weight ends up around 15 lbs vs 60+ lbs stock, and that’s a difference you feel in throttle response and transitions, so if you already have the Tomei catback and want the complete JDM setup, or you’re building a max-effort NA VQ37 or big-turbo VR30 that needs every bit of flow, the 16" straight pipes + 3" Y-pipe finish the system with race-spec materials, sound, and performance that stainless can’t match, and it includes all titanium hardware and gaskets so there’s no mixing metals or galvanic corrosion.
