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..

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
