so i've had my Z for a lil while now (stock) and i can't take it nemore lol...its a 2008 350z touring 6speed. 15k miles. I have about $700-$1000 to play with. Lets just say i want it to sound nicer and go faster . my buddy told me to drop in a nismo dual cold air intake, and get it chipped and tuned. He told both would prob be around my price range and would give me what im lookin for. Ne suggestions fellas??

Exhaust and intake. Ur working with a very small budget.

Save up a while longer and get a quality exhaust like Motordyne, Fast Intentions, Berk, AAM, etc.

Take a look at the Invidia Gemini true dual. I beleive one of the vendors have it on sale for 800.00. K&N drop in's if your not up to spending $$ on intake.

Not worth spending money on a tune yet. Get the normal, "first mods" everyone does, like. intake, exhaust (muffler, y-pipe, test pipes, headers), plenum spacer.

I'd say save your money till you have a good amount to get a quality exhaust like said above

just get an exhaust, maybe a used one. No plenum spacer needed, or not even an option for the 08. Used exhaust, hfc, and intake if you want a nice growl. Other than that, for 800-1k not much you can obtain, unless you buy all used.

and do not get a tune until you dont see yourself adding any more mods for a while

I think I'm gonna go with the borla cat back exhaust n nismo dual cold air intake. Sound good? I don't want the car to sound ricey, I've seen a few Z's that sound like hondas n I wanna pukeeee. You think the borla sounds good n what other exhausts sound nicey n not ricey or crazyyyy loud

I'm about to upgrade to a Stage2 clutch and have come to a choice between two "kits".

The first kit is an all ClutchMaster set-up, and the second is a combo of Exedy Clutch and Fidanza flywheel.

Price isn't really an issue since they're only about a $100 difference, but was curious to what any members might suggest.

Oh, I own a 2005 350z Track.

borla is a very quiet exhaust for our cars.

Which exhausts would be among the loudest?

Makes more sense to post this in the clutch / drivetrain section then in someone else's thread.

So you don't think the borla is worth spending the 1300 bucks on ? I would be pretty mad if I spend that much n there's no difference. What bout magnaflow? I heard a z the other day rip it by me the other day n I had goosebumbs . Sounded awesome, I wanted to chase him down n ask what kinda exhaust he had lol.

injen true dual is pretty loud, and combine that with test pipes for more noise

metah24

i just youtubed the invidia gemini and injen they both sound pretty good. thei njen sounds a lil ricey dont you think?

I use to have the Injen SES titanium tipped true dual and it didn't sound ricey at all.

You're working with a pretty small budget and there's alot of other parts to choose from.

Since you're from jersey i suggest you check out the north east marketplace for good deals on parts that might interest you.

my first mod was the Greddy Evo 2 dual exhaust. Its not too loud until you really get on it. It sounds great and looks good in the rear.

Speaking of mods, I was on the highway today and a 03-04 mustang cobra svt pulled up next to me at the light. HE BLEW THE DOORS OFFFFF MY CAR. Now its time for a twin turbo. His blower was louder then my car lol. Must admit it was a bad *** ride..
