I gotta check the box tomorrow, to see if that's correct, in order to do what you suggested.

yup, thats the one. It's worth a shot then selling on here for a good amount of money if you have vids of the exhaust. I know a lot of people would be intrested in the system. Maybe i can start the project.

aright guys. this guys hard to get a hold of cuz im sure hes got ppl messaging him like crazy but ive talked to him with a few messages.
the piping is borla. all borla.
with the turbo XL muffler 3"
messaged him maybe 2 months ago about a detonator. never responded.
i kinda kept the drawing to myself for a couple months cuz i wanted to try it. but i want a TD exhaust. and im sure ppl on here would move more forward with the project than myself.
im gonna call borla tommarow after work and email them the pic and tell me to give me all of it. and ill ask them if they have any clue about the detonator

haha wow.... I just compared the engine startup sounds of his car and other Z's on youtube, and his video has been sped up just slightly to trick us.

I don't think Im gonna try this custom set-up until I get some impressions from Phenforum. Im probably just gonna get hi-flo cats and stick with my current Borla 3" XL axle back I got installed.
By the way, the Borla 2 chambered muffler made a huge difference over the 4 chambered stock. People have said the stock was not that restrictive, but what a lie.
Ive noticed some more low-end torque, and a louder VQ sound. My friend revved the engine quite a few times, and it sounds similiar to VQ but louder. I think some high flow cats will get the right loudness/sound Im looking for, w/o losing power.
Unless..Phenforum gots some good news. lol

there is a longggggg bridge i go under everyday on my way to work. prolly 8 out of 10 times i will put my windows down just to hear my exhaust....hhaha, i know but i love the sound of it. To me anyway, inside the car and not behind it of course, sounds like an F1 car taking off. Those high RPM's SCREAM under a bridge. Almost a deafening sound in the car. Damn I love it....anyone got a bridge!?!?!?!??!!?

i'm waiting to hear this set up before i buy my new exhaust, i want to see if it sounds the same or if that video was fake because the quality wasn't very good in any of them. I just might have to try it if it is real

Someone in this thread said that the setup uses ALL borla, including the pipes. I contacted Borla and they said they have NO idea what we're talking about.l
