I have the 2019 version of the Z1 cat back. Amazing quality, deep sound not intrusive at all.. beautiful fit and finish. Well worth the $$. Of course I have the 6 speed manual which really brings out the sound. The Y pipe alone is simply gorgeous

This was a very impressive video. I know this took a massive amount of time and effort from you guys, it is much appreciated! Also I can't believe the difference in torque from just a catback... that would make the difference when towing something big.

Thank you for this extensive review! You guys rock!

I like the Z1 exhaust based on performance and sound. It looks like it's possible to leave the side exit tubing out...(so it's tucked in for more clearance) That can save a little weight too... I'd still be able to put the exhaust tip at the end of the tube connecting to the muffler. I don't know if that'll give out more vibration or noise in the cabin though...🤔Worth a try when I get mine, I guess!

This was the video I was looking for. I'm in the market for a new exhaust and now I know what each one sounds like etc. Thank you so much guys!

Good stuff. I personally have the Flowmaster Flow FX Extreme exhaust on my D41. I like the axle dump and it reduced weight by around 30lb over stock. It was a little loud for me from 2000-2700 RPM so I had my shop add a resonator and it sounds perfect now. I also had them bend the hangar so it would clear the Z1 Offroad T-Case Skid as the factory exhaust made a lot of contact and this one added some clearance but still touched occasionally. No more skid contact, less weight, and a nice deep tone without any drone.

When i was younger i loved loud exhausts. I still do for my toys. For my dailys, not so much anymore. I think a little tone but quite in the cab is what i need. Definitely eyeing the z1 spacer intake plate, intake and exhaust. After i get my bed cover first and rails for roof too tent. If I was looking for more noise, I'd go borla. I think z1 fits my needs for a daily.

NISMO all day long!

Borla sounds best

Borla sounds badass, but seems like it'd get obnoxious every day. I'd say Z1, Nismo, Borla, in that order. Just love how much cheaper these are vs the $2200 Ark Grip catback I had on my G37.

Love all your videos guys. How about you test each of these exhaust setups with your blower on them.

They all sound good, but its real easy to make your own product the best. Do it on a cold morning for more horses! With that being said, i like how much more power the Z1 adds over the others regardless

AFE didn't make the list? I have a AFE offroad High tuck am curious on how it will compare to these.

Z1 all the way! Btw, do you need a tune when upgrading catback? Thanks!

@z1off-road

Ай бұрын

You can absolutely upgrade only the exhaust system without a tune. Thanks for watching!

Regarding HP numbers I’d like to know what time of day and what the ambient conditions were because humidity and temperature can make a 3-15hp difference NA and more so on forced induction

I must be getting old because I love how quiet my '22 stock exhaust frontier pro4x is. If it isn't a V8 like my '15 Titan (dual wicked exhaust), why make a V6 louder? The performance gains can't be felt. Once the factory exhaust rusts out then maybe I'll shop aftermarket. Until then, it's nice having a quiet rig.

Were any of these dyno runs with the different exhaust also using a new tune as well or is the truck still on the factory tune for every run?

@z1off-road

29 күн бұрын

We left everything stock, the only thing that was changed between each runs were the 7 different exhaust kits.

They all sound pretty weak because the motor but the Z1 did sound the best

The price on 24” Frontier is far better than 24’ Tacoma. But personally I’m not a fan of the front grill, to me that is.

So what’s the Outcome What Exauhst do You Highly recomend or would you install??? Or did I miss something?

We've tested many exhaust systems here at Z1, and in developing our own kit, we have been able to determine what works well on these platforms, and what negatively affects power. Our kit uses 3" stainless steel piping, cast flanges and smooth transitions in the system, this, paired with our high flow 15" muffler, greatly improves exhaust gas flow. The construction of our muffler uses an inner layer of stainless-steel packing and an outer layer of fiberglass held in place by a perforated stainless-steel core. Rather than using baffle plates and resonance chambers which negatively affect power, our mufflers use a full-length perforated tube, allowing exhaust gasses to flow through the muffler un-obstructed. We incorporate much of the same tech and construction we've used on our motorsports team for years with proven results.

So 48 minutes for Z1 to say the Z1 exhaust was best! 😀

If anyone does fabrication for headers/flanges lmk

What's wrong with that?!

This video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix myself a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to the store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm really a shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I can introduce myself. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she had a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I want the best for her and I harbor no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seems happy with her boyfriend, so I did not bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend, we drank some alcohol because of it, I told her she'll be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was like five years already when I first saw her. Besides, I am quite happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. My girlfriend wants to live some other life without me in it, so I said, okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness. My lady friend and I drank alcohol about it, and she gave me the same advice l gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally can't take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her shoulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked, "what's up?" I told her, you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and left it playing to get myself a sandwich then went to the store to get some mayo then I got distracted by life that I forgot to finish the video. She said, you know what, I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer. So we opened that drawer, and lo and behold, there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of play time on it.

Thanks for watching, keep our channel on repeat

The best and most quiet was the stock muffler. The sounds of all the aftermarket exhausts were terrible! Why would anybody spend $1000 to have more noise in the cabin…don’t understand. The HP gain at 6500rpm is minuscule. Its useless gain for me because I will probably never run my engine at 6500-7000rpm. Bottom line….if you want your 6 cylinder sound like 8 cylinder, then get a truck with 8 cylinder engine! All the sounds presented sounded fake - imitation of 8 cylinder engine. Why would I want that ?! Its embarrassing.

It’s a truck.
