On and on point!!

Definitely looks better than what the pics are showing. It tucks very nicely under the rear fascia, not DTM at all, kinda looks sorta OEM. Nice simple stainless steel as well. The view from the back reminds me of the E46er M3 pipes. I'll post a few pictures tomorrow sometime, weather permitting. Fit and finish is flawless; it bolted up to the Japtrix midpipe perfectly.

Oh, on sound:..... hard to describe. At no point does it ever drone or pop or whatever. It's real.... baritone, refined, rich and strong. Definitely makes you grin. Not any louder than stock either, well maybe a little above 4 grand.

Now when I put it on the Culo dyno, there was a decent gain from about 3-4 grand on. The engine revs faster, more evenly across the entire powerband. One gripe I had about the stock set-up was that it seemed like the revs seemed to slow down after 5 grand. The good part is that that surge of power that comes on around 3000 RPMs is still there.

Let's just say I'm quite impressed

 

very nice. what gains did you get on the dyno? can you post pictures?

Thanks
Steve

 

Cool. My thoughts exactly regarding the quad look, reminiscent of the M3 .

 

it sounds like 2 puckers after 3K and 3 puckers after 4K.

 

Sweet! I can't wait to see pics. Hopefully I'll see you cruising around after this crappy weather breaks.

 

please post pics! Any chance you can take shots from directly behind the car?

 

Most definitely. Give me a day or two though to clean the car off it's filthy. PE has some pics on their website too.


On sound: there is a thread somewhere in here with sound clips of japanese exhausts. If anything, the PE exhaust sounds most like the Style King one. There's NO rasp or buzz at all. It's a deep, serious tone.


On dynoing: RB Motoring reported an 11HP gain from their Power Enterprise exhaust. The midpipe I got from Japtrix is good for 5-6 HP on its own. I intend to dyno, but I don't know when, plus I don't know what effect (if any) the LSD will have on my dyno numbers.

 

Um....you are DEFINITELY going to have to keep me updated on how you like your LSD (via PM if you want).

 

A sorry excuse for a picture. I'm trying to cut down the size of all the rest, or get them posted to the gallery--

 

Another awful cropped pic

 

Hmmm, from these pics I am not quite sure if I am a fan of the dual duals. Looks nice, just not for me I guess.

 

I like it. Definitely different. The more I look at these Z pics the more I think that mine will definitely have the nismo wing.
