i recently had custom test pipes made by altered atmosphere and installed them early Dec. i didn't get the chance to dyno my car before they were installed but AAM alread had a G37 that had about 400 miles on the dyno and it ran : 278.22 max HP and 234.21 max torque..
so i ran my car on the dyno ( it had bout 750 miles on it) with 2.5" AAM test pipes and it ran :
max hp: 294.43
max torque: 245.23

here are some videos.. i like the sound more from the inside of the car than the outside..

So you didn't dyno the same car before and after the installation fo the parts? Why compare the dyno of 2 different cars under different sets of circumstances?

lol @ the camera guy coughing in rev 1 video.

im not comparing the 2. i was just mentioning what they got on a stock car.. figured mine would be in the range of 274 to 285 stock

Looks like a sweet gain, can you feel any difference with the extra torque?

I don't doubt it, one of the many mods I had on my 350z was test pipes.... It sounded great, (yes they were from aam, they are great there) but I don't think I'll ever have test pipes again on a daily driver... I swear it was making me sick from the fumes.

Sooooooooo, have you thrown a SES light yet? I got so sick of that light, one of the many reasons I decided to get a new G37S...

ya i do feel the extra gain.. im waiting on a dual 3" titanium exhaust from AAM with a x-pipe and an intake.. hopefully ill get more than 300 RWHP.. can't wait..

ya it was bout 25*.. and i felt bad for my lil bro.. he was sick and i made him breath in all that smoke lool.. o well.. so far ive driven over 1200 miles since i installed my test pipes and the check engine light come on for a couple days then it suddenly turned off.. it came on like twice after that but it only stays for like 20 mins and it goes away... so basically i havent seen that annoying light much which is a good thing :-)

the gain looks sweet no doubt but the sound is not my cup of tea - sounds o raspy/ricer - doesnt sound like a VQ V6 anymore....the sound lacks refinement and theres no rumble that the stock engine/exhaust made...

How have you been driving it though? I noticed it would be good and stay off in the Z, and when I would get on it a few times, it would come on shortly there after...

sounds like a cut resonator.. sounds decent but i dnt like high revs. but the power gains are very productive. and with intake and exhaust i personally think it would sound amazing it would give it more a finshed sound.

i agree with you on that.. i don't like the sound from the outside at all.. that is why im waiting on the exhaust it'll sound much much nicer along with the x- pipe..
