I have the AEM, i wouldnt say i regret it.....but i've never been on a dyno so who knows what it did/didnt do for me...sounds nice, never had any problems, no complaints here

 

Dont regret: pop charger, and forged internals shift ****. It feels great, shifts are more solid.

regret: everytime I see a redline, I wish I got that instead of PPW.

 

all n/a mods

 

regret: volk racing gt-7 gunmetal. Looks great at first sight, but not quite good in my z roadster
I kinda regret buying roadster, should have bought the coupe. The roadster is uncomfortable and noisy ride. And the coupe looks better.

 

Wow, I've read through 17 pages and almost answered all my questions. Everyone seem's to be against NA mods. I already have NISMO CAI, and EXHAUST. I just purchased STILLEN headers. Will I really not feel a difference or are all of you just being drastic? And what kind of numbers can I be looking at if I add an AAM Plenum Spacer, along with UO Pullies, NISMO cams and a TS Flash? Thats my list of mods that I plan to finish before summer hits.

Thanks

 

Blitz sonic intake. It might look good but it didn't improve any performance wise

 

regret of bought a set of ADRs..so damn heavy..sold it and got volks now.

 

cmon man, white is tight

 

It was PPW vs. redline, I went with PPW...but the grass is always greener...

 

i feel you man, i got a black G before, then i liked white more, I get one color than wish i got another color, never happy, but now i really like my PPW, just gota learn to love what you have

 

I know, I need to stay happy with PPW. I think the problem is Im tired of the way it looks (stock) and it needs some wheels...

 

man i just read all 17 pages, and my Z IQ is much higher now thanks a lot guys. i just put on the popcharger and i was on the fence about a plenum spacer but you guys talked me into it. i dont plan on going FI, so the minor NA mods are just fine for me.
one question though, any preference on an AAM spacer vs a MD ISO spacer? I want to keep the strut bar so i'd be going 5/16ths.
oh and does anyone have the black nismo gt ****? does it get too hot in the sun? i want a titanium but theyre hard to find and i'm getting impatient.
frickin 3:45am now i've been reading for a while, time for bed!

 

I've regreted metal ***** everytime, even thought they usually look really good. No matter what metal they always get hot. I would recommend the nismo hard rubber GT ****, although Ive never tried that one personally. I've got the tomei black duracon **** and I LOVE it... about the same size and shape as the nismo aluminum ***** but made of duracon so it doesnt get hot.

 

Here is my now ancient plenum spacer comparison:

I know MD has since made some further improvements...don't think that AAM has.

 

good review thank you. MD ISO it is!

 

Anyone gone with the Greddy EVO2 and had any regrets? Mainly in loudness or highway drone?

Also, anyone have any regrets going with the Tein Basics? (my Z is not a daily driver)

 

Evo2 is the quietest catback you can buy. It's barely louder than stock. No droning on the highway.

 

Mods so far:

* JWT Pop Charger = Regret (too much heat soak. Going back to stock '06 air box)
* MREV 2 Lower Collector = Love
* MD ISO CU 5/16 Spacer = Love
* Random Tech Hi Flow Cats = Love
* HKS TD Exhaust = Love
* UTEC = Love
* Hotchkis Springs = Love
* Hotchkis Sways = Love
* Stoptech Stage II Slotted Bremdo upgrade = Love, except the axxis brake-pads are wayyyyy dirty on the rims.
* DIY Oil Catch Can = Love

 

(Per davidv's request, I have removed my list of mods I liked, and left only those I disliked.)
Mods I've removed or don't like:
RSR Ti2000 springs = loved the performance, didn't like lowering my car
Nismo exhaust = loved the sound, but *hated* the droning on the freeway
grounding kit = Meh... whatever. Don't think they really do anything.

 

^^^ Quoted for truth. But I'd like to minimize heat-soak during the prolonged & frequent traffic jams and southern heat ATL is known for...
