You are supposed to ask before buying.

Pleased with the quality of materials and fit. 25,000 miles and no problems.
More noise than stock. Add headers and HFC and the noise increases.
Happy with the performance. Time slips are posted in the drag racing forum.

How did the Injen SES sound compared to stock before you added the high flow cats and headers ?

I have the Injen SES and I absolutely love it. The stock exhaust has a nice purr to it but the Injen SES makes your Z growl! I do have headers & test pipes, which makes for a bit louder exhaust. I have received compliments on the track about my Zs nice, unique sound. Click on my sig below if you want to see a picture of the exhaust from the rear . . . it's zexy.

I suggest you do a search in this forum on "Injen" to find out a couple of things you may have to mod if you have any rasp or drone after you install it. I had to install a Magnaflow x-pipe muffle to remove some rasp & drone, and it gave my exhaust a deeper, meaner growl.

Thanx alot you guys. I have just one more Q. Will I need to Mod anything to install this exhaust? Like i read a bunch of Greddy Evo2 threads and most mention relocating the EVAP box or something. Also something about a heat sheild for some sort of line(s). Will any of this apply to the Injen SES?

I had the Injen before the Greddy.

My Pros would be: Looks nice, good torque, more power, sounds great at WOT, and fit's all rear lip kit or full kits.

My biggest and only Con: Drone between 45-70mph. It drove me crazy in the cabin and I felt like my head was being massaged the entire drive. Not very comfy when you drive 75 miles a day to work or something.

No relocation necessary for the EVAP canister. Basic bolt on and have fun.

Easy bolt on installation. The only major issue is trying to align the two canisters in the rear and lining up the two tips. Just for grins, drivers behind you will envy you because they'll be looking at this!

I have it with test pipes and the Focker is loud, but I love it.

It basically tells everybody to get the Fock out of my way cause I am coming thru,LOL.

Installation is straight forward and clearance is good. A minor concern is clearing the rear anti-sway bar.

Put the exhaust in place.
Put a small piece of wood between the pipe and anti-sway bar.
Tighten the exhaust.
Remove the wood.
