I put the entire Crawford package on all together, Headers, Cats, Plenum and Borla TD and JWT popcharger. Very noticeable increase across the board, nice sound and quality. I've purchased a Vortech SC and that will be the big bang for the HP numbers I'm looking for. I would strongly recommend the Crawford package, very exspensive but well worth it. You'll save money on your installs also if you put parts together so your not taking things off that you just put on.

later

We need to make a sticky for bolt-on mods and pro's and con's of each, this would eliminate quite a few threads like this. It's the same thing everytime: cats/test pipes, exhaust, intake, headers, grounding kit, plenum. Hmm, maybe i'll make a thread on this and get it sticky'd.

When I get my Z, probably the first thing I'll do is the Stillen spoiler, a front lip, and the front grill. I'd also like to do the ICE first. Then after that maybe hi-flow cats and an exhaust (probably Crawford/Fujitsibo Legalis R Stainless).

there is another forum out there who has all the possible exausts, and intakes ect ect and lists thier gains (claimed, and actual) but since my computer got a virus and I resinstalled I dont have it saved any more. We should do something similar that way we wont get any more how much HP will this intake add.

I started preparing my car for the power first, I got a cat back first then went to suspension, rims, tires, sways. A good place to start would be pop charger and exhaust.

Cut out the exhaust resonator. It sounds more agressive but not obnoxious. A little raspy when cold but it goes away after the engine warms up. Overall I would not buy an exhaust after hearing the difference in sound.

First and only performance mods I've done so far are the Nismo Exhaust and CAI. I'm getting headers and hi flow cats next...
