Default Its Back, Its Black And Its Bad A**!!!!

cannot say much but start saving your money!

finally got it at about 4:30!
put it on and was driving by 5:30
photographed it off and on the car. (pic's coming)
drove it up the hill (mt soledad for those that know it) behind my house which is a pretty steep run and its about 3/4 to one mile to the top. Liked it so much I did it FIVE TIMES!

bottom line is:

SAVE YOUR FREAKIN MONEY, YOUR GONNA LOVE THIS THING!

So far, and I have only driven it a short distance. (9-10 miles up and down the hill)

Power is definitely MUCH BETTER than stock!

Cant see the dyno till monday though (after 6:00 right now) so naysayers will have to wait for proof but I gotta tell you all.

HOLY SHEEP $HIT, this thing is AWESOME!!!!!!

Sound is different, DEFINITELY, my impression is that you hear it more when at idle and less when going.

here are a few pictures then I am out with the girlie for sushi and who knows what else . i will report back tomorrow with more impressions (sound) and a more detailed description of the plenum.

ENJOY THE PIC'S, I AM GOING OUT TO ENJOY THE RIDE!!!!!!!!!

this shot is inside the plenum. the two post are now going to be included by Lsdunique to prevent the flex in the plenum that was on the prototype, and i can say they work great. The flex is pretty much gone now!

VERY NICE... and I get to be the first to reply to this thread woohoo.

Never seen under the top plenum before, definitely interesting. By looking at it, it appears that neither the slight dip in the plenum nor the new posts would disrupt airflow into the runners... me like...

Finally, (for tonight) here is the shot of it installed on the car.

Tomorrow I will get pic's of it with the stock strut and the plastic engine cover on as well.

Sleep well tonight people, there's a new plenum dealer in town and dreams of faster Z's will be in everyones heads tonight!

Thanks Lsdunique, for one very well done high performance product after another, you OUTDID yourself with this one. Also, on a personal note, thanks for making me one dam happy guy by giving me the chance to try it out first! I appreciate it.......





lastly, no dynos till monday if you missed it at the top of the page.

Since the plenum is plastic, where do you now connect the grounding kit? What was the price again?

I can't agree more! I am confident the Dyno numbers will support all_bark's first impression. A 24-48 hour group
buy-in would be awesome. Could sell two in Albuquerque tomorrow if available.

What happens when someone throws some boost on one of these puppys??You said the flex was pretty much gone but this concearns me as it may flex enough to leak or crack..

That is what I've been waiting for. Glad I sent back my crawford hacksaw crap for a refund. How do I get on the list to get one of these?

yes, this is for NA application, but you can still use it for force induction.. with the black molding, it looks a lot better than gray

thanks for another tease....
