People dont realize what a difference shifting alone makes, even in a roll race. Anybody that doubts this watch that vid-watch us switch cars, and thats me against a guy that has run 11's down the 1/4, he thought he was a "good" driver. Ive done the same to other guys NA, ST whatever, in any car. Everybody thinks they can drive until they see somebody who can. Its the honest truth. OP-sounds like your a young inexperienced guy-your friend is outdriving you, simple as that. Go out, practice, have fun...

Here is a link on my friends site of all my cars from the past and the Z, he has pics of the exhaust install but he has not put them up yet

OT
A spacer on an 06 alone wont do jack anyway....as others have said an MREV2 + spacer plus tune is noticeable for the majority of those who use them

I said PEOPLE pay 5-10K for exhausts PERIOD
I never said Z drivers, Z owners or anything of that nature.
Go take a reading comprehension refresher before you embarass yourself some more, god
And stop jumping into every X02 thread with your dribble, nobody cares about your f'k'd up HKS that you had to repair with custom X pipes....

Also I have JWT popcharger, test pipes, y-pipe, Tanabe Hyper madallian exhaust (2.75 inch), and 5/16 spacer. He has off brand Intake, test pipes, y-pipe, and cheap ebay exhaust that is (3 inch).
Cheap Parts > Expensive Shiit

I would think that both of those exhausts are to big and are probably hurting you both down low.

or anybody who buys bolt ons. they soo dont shave 4 seconds off your 1/4 time like people say.
