I have an exhaust waiting to be installed. Buddy has some springs. Then wheel spacers and paint the wheels. I think it should be fine until I do other things.
But MODing sure does get addictive. I was addicted to MODing my S14

Pioneer P4100DVD. Installed it yesterday. I need to move the unit down a bit. Whenever the screen opens and closes it pushes on the top trim panel. I used the Metra install kit and Metra wire harness.
Here is a sneak peak of the Momentum Performance exhaust.

You're goin almost the exact same route I did.
I have the same head unit with the metra kit and mine doesn't rub at all. So I don't know what's goin on with that.
If you thought the intake sounds good,like I did,wait until you put the exhaust on.I just put the agency power single on and I'm convinced that single is the only way to go. Just remember,once you start you can't stop.

Sweet. Yea, I cant wait to put my exhaust on. I know what you mean about not being able to stop. At one point when my S14 was down and out i was about to just spend another 10-15k to build a monster SR20 but then i lost my job
about the pioneer...it could have been where i moved the brackets up or down a bit where it caused that issue so i gotta check it out but thanks for letting me know

Installed the Momentum Performance exhaust yesterday. Did bumper tuck today and removed the mud flaps.
Review and vids of the exhaust will be coming soon.
On to pics:
The exhaust sounds great. Wonderful craftsmanship from Momentum. This is the prototype version of the exhaust. It gets pretty loud but when cruising its not loud at all. I am very pleased with it.
Now I just need to get rid of the 4x4 status

That looks great.
For the bumper tuck did you use the existing holes or did you drill it into that beam behind the bumper?
If you lower it,don't do it too much like I did. I can only take my car on roads that I know well and it gets annoying very quickly.

OP, does the restricted exhaust give you more WHP because it just looks like a fart can on a stock piece of 3" pipe with a name on it??? Not trying to be a dick, I just believe the Z breathes much better with true dual cat back exhaust & Crawford high flow cats.I do like the tuck though it still looks funny to me with just a single exhaust. Modding is addictive, nice starting point.

. They take care in what they develope and try to do it right. Bobby was also a great guy to talk to. He sent me some free stuff so that I could put the exhaust on. Didn't have the clips and gasket, also added some shirts from Momentum. Great guy. As far as WHP's I did notice a bit of decrease in top end torque, it doesn't pull as hard when it was just with the JWT PopCharger but I think this was to be expected since I am still on stock headers, cats, and y pipe. I think with supporting MODs and a nice tune the set up that I am thinking should gain nice numbers. I really wished I could put it on the dyno right now to see if there were any gains or not but money is limited right now.

No offense....
You should start on ::
1: Rims & lowering spring
2: Bodykits
3:exhaust & intake
4:interior
5:engine...
You have a exhaust but it is only single..it is better if dual exhaust..
And you start modding the interior, you should start modding exterior before interior,,,

lowering springs are getting picked up today. Then i will figure out rims.
Body kits are zeee gay if you ask me. im trying to stay simple and clean nothing to much. later on i want CF Seibon Lip kits and side skirts, but thats in the future. i don't have a money tree in the back yard so i work with what i got
again i got the exhaust next to nothing plus its a pretty decent exhaust for a single and just trying to give Momentum some exposure

meeeehhhhhh to each its own bro
only cheap rims i would think about is the Rota P45Rs 18x9.5 with 12mm offset
other rims that i am really considering is the Enkei RPF1s, 5Zigen FN01R-C's or the 5Zigen Hyper 5ZRs (but these are like 2500 for the ones i want). With the right offsets of course

exhaust looks good bro, cant wait to hear it! There is nothing wrong with a single exhaust i personally think they look a whole lot better than half the TD exhaust on the market but thats just me.
