Look it's up to you, I'm not a fan of the guy because of all the videos I've seen on YT about him knowing what his tune sounds like. This based on the "pops and bangs" if you want to be part of that crew then go for it. I'm on the side of getting power for my money not noise, and Moncef delivers for that. There was a local guy trying to go to Z1and I told him all this, he went with Moncef and he's super happy with the outcome as well.

to be honest I wouldn’t use the pops and bangs much maybe sometimes but it’s more to me about customer service and how competent of a tuner they are which both are competent at tuning

You know... the thing that some kid thought would be cool and all the sheep followed lol. They claim it sounds like a Lambo, not even close, and the Lambo doesn't have to waste fuel to get that sound.
Customer service is great and all but there are some haters out there and lies get stretched over distance, I have ZERO complaints about Admin, I told him exactly what I wanted and that's what I got.

About as useful as a “flame map”.

But no hate, just makes me laff thinking about the car scene as long as I’ve been part of it... there were the nuts dumping too much money into actually going fast/racing and the other side with people putting too much into their cars to look like they’re going fast.

And both sides sneering at the other.

Whatever works I guess

I just don't like things that don't serve a purpose, show/go is always controversial for sure, I prefer balance.

Interesting, never heard of the RZG, have you?
I mean he consistently called it the best intake for years so I don't know why he changed his tune....
I know who makes the intakes for him is you wanted to source one, ask the people who have one here what they think of it. I suppose the 3" Z1 would be better than the street in terms of build. Are you staying NA for good?

Well just looked up the RZG and I wouldn't recommend for daily, so if you want a CAI Z1 is your only choice. I'll put it out there again, if you like instant throttle response stay with a SRI.
