Just curious, do you guys plan on keeping the Nismo exhaust or will you switch to a true dual exhaust?

So how hard is it to get to the air filters once the front facisa is on?

Its a small thing, but the way they look buried in the bodywork, changing filters looks to be a multiple hour job.

the air filters are now easier to get to then the injen cai I had on my car. All you have to do is remove the fender liner to get to them where before you had to remove the whole front bumper...

Well I got a ride, and a test drive of Rob (Donna's) car and I have to say, the APS kit is nice!!

When I got a ride in the car as a passenger, Rob was running test pipes and the car at 7-8 psi pulled harder than my Greddy at 5psi. But when I drove it, he had the stock cats back in and it felt comparable to my car. Boost might build a little earlier in the rev band, but the tach sweeps so fast in lower gears it's really hard to say. Probably need to compare dyno charts to tell. Power was very linear though.

Overall, the kit seems a little quieter than mine. MY SSQV goes off quite frequently, whereas I don't even really remember hearing the BOV in his car (too busy having fun!) The cool thing is I could actually hear the turbos. I never get that whine on my car.

He said the car is running pretty rich right now, so now doubt there are more horses to be tapped.

As for fit and finish, well... NO comparison. APS is really top-notch.

Congrats to zcargarage, stop by and check it out if you're local!
