Question 2: Rarely drink, when I do, usually a beer or a shot of Jack. I have had moonshine, too harsh for me personally.
Again, back to the regularly scheduled sound file and picture request.

chill out guys.... save the gay bashing for the kid driving the srt-4. It's just a cheap exhaust, but for 500 bucks, its a great value. I will let you all know how bad it sucks, or how great it is, as soon as i get it. Fit, finish, sound, and all. play nice kids.

If it looks/fits/sounds good, then why not buy it??
Heck, Im considering it myself. Im not out to race my car. I just like the looks of it.

Good lord there are some long posts on here...
Gringott, I do wonder about your avatar and since it came up.. doesn't the writing on the mirror say "objects in mirror appear to be losing"? But then the image shown is of the driver himself (that you?).... the 350Z driver is losing?

Don't be mad and cry to me cause I think your $1700 exhaust sounds bad. It's my preference.
Oh, and if anyone wants to see "quality" HKS welds, I can get some nice pics of my friends Ryans', which looks like it was welded by a 9 yr old girl.

F430 sounding like a fart can honda? LOL Now I know you are seriously exaggerating, that is just silly. The F430 is music to my ears and most people's ears. I don't know where you get fart can honda noise from because I definitely don't hear it.

Not mad one bit. I just think it's funny. We will just have to agree to disagree that you don't like the HKS exhaust sound and I do.
And of course in your last sentence you have to trash the HKS. How funny.

You know whats funny. How everyone in here gets all antsy about someone getting something other than "Name Brand" **** for their cars,lol.
You all talk about Honda's like they are slime and crap compared to our great cars,lol. My RSX can pretty much destroy any Z here that isnt making over 400hp, and the engine's internals are BONE STOCK.
You guys love comparing the Z to Ferrari, and Porche, but you fail to see it for what it is.
I see it like this. Get the exhaust, if its good then good for you. If it sucks but you want the looks, then good for you, if it sucks and looks horrid, then oh well now you know.
Get over yourselvs people its just an exhaust that is going on a Nissan. If you want to spend millions of dollars then why buy HKS when you can buy Project MU brake kit (4-5gs), Or while we are in the exhaust deal, get a Fugitsubo super TI exhaust for about 3gs. Then your a ****in baller JDM *****.
No? why because its too expensive??? But its real 100% titanum, not just the tips. Why get HKS when its a ricer exhaust copying the Titanium looks???
Get a life people!

Now, many people who see real HKS gonna thing it the fake stuff 'cause HKS didn't even put their logo on the Dual-Ti exhaust for the Z.
What's the point of pretending that you have something that you couldn't? These kindda people turn something exclusive into some cheap@$$ piece of junk. I the same like put it a Ferrari F355 kit on a MR2 and pretend that you are driving a Ferrari.
Give me a break, If you can afford expensive part to mod your Z, then buy a Civic. Z is top of the line model for Nissan, of course parts to mod it gonna be more for this kind of model. You want cheaper part, please, go buy a f#cking Civic or RSX.

Real HKS exhaust sound..
No excuses for these sound bytes. The real HKS sounds like 2 fart cans.

Check out some custom Honda stuff --- you want to talk $$$ 12-1500 for ONE header .....try buying a Genuine Top Fuel 3" for an EG hatch sometime
Using "go buy a Honda" is stupid
They are generally cheaper because of engine layout and number of cyls but often times cost more apples to apples
Hell back in the day I paid 525 for a Greddy SS single canister exhaust for my Hatch.....many Z owners still think thats too expensive for their Z's ---- add another to make it dual and 1150 for a dual setup is what Z owners are whinning about
You can get a 2.5" catback that makes more power and is cheaper than the mass produced stuff from places like K Teller.com ......but it wont be name brand and it wont be carb legal (as if Z owners have alot of choices) so....
Welding quality and overall construction will be a big deciding factor for my Z exhaust purchase.....the HKS is high quality and makes power --- for 12-1300 its not a bad deal at all when you factor in the craftsmanship
If you dont care about sound quality and just want to make pure power I am sure you could most likely make an exhaust for less to accomplish that --- it wont look as nice and may not sound as nice but it will make power
Different strokes for different folks......this exhaust if it does make power, will be for those who chose the latter option ---- power over everything else
If someone bought a Ti exhaust for 2200 vs this exhaust + plennum + thermal spacer- --- who will make more power?
I hate knockoffs --- but if the quality is similar for less money, most tuners would rather make more power than worry about the name brand on their mods ---- having an HKS exhaust wont buy you an excuse for losing right?
My thoughts anyway.....

I would take a 2005 NSX over a Z anyday of the week and twice on Sundays
Hondas are above Nissan in every aspect of quality --- the only weakness Honda has is their extreme view on efficiency and keepign engine size as small as possible for a given application
If an S2000 was powered by a 3+L Honda motor the Z would be an afterthought to most people on this board- ---- but given its only equipped with a 2.0L its a different animal than the larger bore Z
I miss my old Hondas and I have no illusions about my Z's quality --- its nowhere near Honda quality but the interior volume, powerband and shape as well as price went a long way towards not fussing over the small annoying nissan details
Jump in an NSX sometime, youll see.....hell even an S2000....row through the gears and the notchy rubber feeling Z shifter will leave you a little annoyed after shifting the rifle bolt shifter the Honda has

+1 on the NSX, but not every honda is that great. S2k's are awesome but they need two things; 1) more torque and 2) more room for guys my size to fit in (6'3 and above).
