I really like them, they have a good noise to them and with the custom cobb map I'm running and my hks exhaust it really helped liven up that car. I was originally not going to do it, but I'm really debating the test pipe/hfc option right now. There's a nice set of hr tp's in the classifieds now lol.

My only complaint has nothing to do with the intakes but my friend's and my negligence. Got to be careful relocating the horns with the long tube intake install. My horns got pushed into my condenser and carved a nice hole into it. Replaced that all not too long ago actually

Not my favorite thing to do in the world, but it wasn't too bad. Got to put some new coolant in too lol, not that it needed it at all.

Also took my Z to meet my uncle's new P-car the other day which I also got to drive

and big brother GT-R

Got to ride in the GT-R. With full catless exhaust, injectors, retune and maxing stock turbos at around 22 psi, it was definitely the fastest car I've ridden in. Makes me want to take all my income and put it into purchasing one haha. Amazing car. Gotta love Nissan!

Same here; the GT-R was the fastest car I've ever driven. And now my friend removed the cats, which he said is more popular than replacing the whole exhaust. Gotta test drive it again. Too bad he lives across the country.

You have a pretty sweet setup, by the way...
