High Performance Formula Z-Pipe
The Formula Z-Pipe, the industry-leading replacement for outdated X-Pipe and H-Pipe designs. Engineered with cutting-edge Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technology, this patent-pending exhaust component is crafted from premium 316L stainless steel, delivering unmatched strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. The Z-Pipe’s innovative design creates a full mixture of exhaust gases, boosting horsepower, enhancing sound quality, and maintaining exhaust velocity with minimal pressure loss. Experience a crisp, high-pitched, exotic exhaust note with reduced drone, making it the top choice for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Why Formula Z?
-
Performance: The Z-Pipe’s unique design optimizes exhaust scavenging, increasing horsepower and torque over traditional X-Pipe and H-Pipe configurations. Its consistent cross-sectional area ensures maximum exhaust flow and velocity, delivering measurable power gains.
-
Sound Quality: By balancing exhaust pulses across both banks, the Z-Pipe produces a refined, clean, and aggressive exhaust tone that’s distinctly exotic, with minimal drone for a comfortable driving experience.
-
Advanced Manufacturing: Utilizing DMLS and Selective Laser Melting (SLM), each Z-Pipe is 3D-printed to precise tolerances, resulting in a part that’s as strong as or stronger than its base metal. At just 1/16" thick, it matches the strength of welded exhaust tubes while reducing weight.
-
Compact and Versatile: Its compact design fits even the tightest installations, sitting downstream of emissions components for easy integration into existing or new dual exhaust systems.
-
Proven in Elite Builds: Trusted in record-breaking vehicles like the SSC Tuatara and Johnny Bohmer Racing’s Ford GT, the Z-Pipe is the go-to choice for top-tier performance applications.
-
Durability and Longevity: Made from 316L stainless steel, the Z-Pipe offers superior thermal stability and corrosion resistance, ensuring reliability in the most demanding driving conditions.
