Let me tell you from experience with a BP kit and the worst roads that you can imagine, this kit is brilliant, regardless of how low you are to the ground I can assure you that no roads you will be driving on( unless you southern lads like taking your Z off roadin') that can even compare to the **** we deal with here in Ottawa, Ontario.

I have scraped numerous times, last time was due to the fact the trailer was to high to get my Z on and I pulled a bonehead move to try and getter on, ..nothing, only thing that took the hit was the skid plate.

I do not need to pump up the BP kit because those that have one know, those that don't...don't, those that are skeptic will remain that way. Good luck with your choice, when you make it, my BP single Z will be throwing down 650+(up from 610) to the wheels while you remain skeptical)

i figured he was probably trying to do some dukes of hazzard backroad **** personally the way he described it, but if he is hellafail then he deserves to have his car hit by a meteor. would think such people would know better then to come to the FI forum where the performance enthusiasts hang out.

1. Rock was on the middle of the road on 2 lane the highway. There was an access road exit being built near by so I'm guessing one of the trucks dropped it. I'm such a rebel for going the speed limit on a flat designated road. I know.

2. If you consider Tein-S springs with Tokico shocks hella flush... well, I suppose I'm "hellafail" for lowering 0.7 inches, or as majority call it "****ton of hellaflush".

3. I wasn't aware Borla TD exhaust was a crap brand. Welp, I guess Bob Bondurant and he's school is a crap since they use Borla on every single one of their corvettes...

Thanks for asking about my driving location and suspension set up before coming up with this amazing Hellaflush Dukes of Hazard story by the way.

I swear my350z nowadays has only a handful of skilled informants and tons of trolling retards calling themselves "performance enthusiast"...

Good luck with whatever kit you end up purchasing.
Oh? Sorry, your first build post stated that you used the 409 stainless... but then that was 4 years ago so I suppose you changed it.

"On to the new piping, once again I choose 409 stainless do to it's ability to withstand heat/corrosion and most importantly no cracking...."

and thanks! Maybe I'll fabricate up underbody guard and end up buying your kit either way

And you have done what exactly? That's what I thought absolutely nothing the people who you are calling "trolling retards" are the people who are built and boosted and do there own work. Hell I guarantee I have forgotten more about cars then you know.
I did say if you wernt hellafail then ignore my posts about it, but there is no way doing the speed limit a single "rock" screwed up everything under your car and bounced around repeatedly its not the kennedy assassination. The more you post the more it seems your complete destruction might and been more of a tiny ding and you simply exagerate worse then my mother. I run r compounds and drive daily they throw all kinds of **** into the bottom of my car, even threw a rock into the car from the stock gas tank inspection cover which is gone and hit the seat at 70mph and no damage to that. So either your bsing us, exaggerating or where doing something with the z you shouldn't have been.

I will add my 2 cents.

A turbo kit is one part, call it 40%

The product support is the other. Call it 60%.


With that fact alone, BP is in on these threads like white on rice, and I have never heard complaints.. and compared to the other options of shops, kits and manufacturers.. that is BLACK AND WHITE.
There is little comparison in that regard.

I honestly say, for singles, BP is cheap, present on the boards, and will suffice your needs juuust fine.

I do not own a BP kit either btw. Simply my observations.

You're the one coming in here claiming you're too low for a turbo kit, and exhaust.

The logical conclusion is that you're a hellaflush scrub.

Borla is crap. Sounds like crap, and costs too much. That's my opinion. The price of the borla is what I paid for the fab on my turbo kit and my exhaust. Just saying.


Furthermore the situation you described is a freak accident. Initially you described it as your car being too low and your driving skills being sub par. Try being less misleading next time and I won't fling crap in your eye.
Get the BP kit, stop worrying about rocks, and be more direct.
