Mine won't be stock for long. I already installed a Perrin shorty antenna– that should be good for at least 5whp!! LOL

Yep... cause it causes less drag

I would like to know this as well. ALthough the stock exhaust gets pretty loud once it hits 5K, is the Nismo 'alot' louder? not looking to attract unwanted attention.

Oh and the Hood is awesome, anybody who says different is just jealous.

Here's a pic of my 'package'

The Nismo exhaust is not loud at all. It sounds good. Most aftermarket exhausts for the Z are not loud unless you start removing parts from them.

I have the Borla exhaust and really like the deeper tone it has.

Im about to get a 350z. I've driven my friends 05 and its pretty nice. But Which year and model do you guys think would be the best? (I.E. touring/enthusiast/etc...)

If you plan on modding this instant, get a '03-'06 base or track. If not, go with a base or enthusiast '07. The other models are packed with a bunch of amenity crap.

Enthusiast will give you the best bang for the buck without all the unecessary cost associated with the touring and up models.

I would highly recommend this exhaust. No droning and not too loud that causes unwanted attraction. Just perfect sound and still maintaining the original sound of the Z. Its basically abit louder and lower tone. For performance wise, i feel an increase especially pass the 5k mark. YOu wont go wrong with this exhaust.

I switched over my Nismo exhaust from my 06 to 07. The exhaust seems to repsond better on the 07 and is a bit louder then it was on my 06. I still love the sound! Very subtle oem type sound but once you go wot the 07 is a screamer! the engine note is amazing.

does anyone know what the 07's 0-60 time is? I'm expecting it to be between 5.0-5.3, considering its quick 1/4 mile times(13.3) and that the 07 G35 does it in 5.2 while being 200+lbs heavier. How do you go about accurately messuring this number? How does C&D and all those guys do it?
