Total for these mods are around $800. Everything you can install yourself or with a friend. I suggest for the Test Pipes you have access to a lift. The lift just make it a bit easier to work under the car.
I have to say I love everything. All these parts helped the car. The power gains are defently there and the exhaust note is much better (IMO). The car runs smoother powerband now also. The Race Pipes do give the note a bit of a rasp but nothing I couldn't live with. I personally think these four mods should almost be considered a Stage I Kit for those that plan on staying N/A.
Overall: I'm very happy with my chooices and very happy I did the research before buying. I'll be back on the Dyno on the 25th to see the gains. Hoping for around 240ish whp and 235ish wtq.
Next on my list are: StopTech Stage II Brake Kit & Nismo Cat-Back Exhaust. Ingalls Engineering (http://www.ingallseng.com/) & I are working on some suspention components.

Hmm, i am actually pretty interested in modding my car but nothing to extreme. Keep in mind that i know absolutely nothing about modding. This setup you have sounds like it makes a huge difference. What are the pros and cons to doing this to my 2003 Z MT? (Peformance version i believe)

The only cons I can see as far as doing this route:
-The engine becomes louder. Some might not enjoy the louder engine at higher RPMS.
-The test pipes do add a rasp to the exhaust note and are not legal.
-You're spending money you "could've" save towards F/I.
I still stand behind this as a "Performance N/A Stage I" set-up, "Best Bang for the Buck."

As far as the Y-Pipe I'm doing research on that right now. I have just heard that the APS TP w/ Nismo Cat-back doesn't sound too good. Also that just a Y-Pipe give nice gains for minimal price.
