Question Upgrading exhaust on Automatic Z's..

Are they as noticable since we usually dont get much over 3500 rpms?


I want to get Da BORLA but im not sure if it would even be worth it..

Don't get over 3500 RPM's

You're joking right?

It's not our fault if you refuse to drive like it's a sports car.

I have an auto and I know mine goes over 3500 RPM. You know you can drive it a little harder. Or, put it in the sport shift mode.

If you're more concerned on gas mileage, why are you concerned with power over 3500RPMs?

With a new exhaust you'll only get worse gas mileage -- you'll end up becoming addicted to the sound and always on the gas
