so did you notice a power gain?

 

Yeah, it did feel like it ran through the revs a little quicker. I noticed that I kept hitting the limiter before shifting. I usually had my shifts timed perfect.

I def noticed a difference..... pulled alot harder in low RPM's

 

wow those vids really make it sound great. Might have to just grab some highflow cats instead of test pipes and pull the trigger on this bad boy.

 

nice thanks for that vid

 

My digi camera actually DOES have video, I thought it was to old to have that option lol Anyway, the exhaust sounds a lot like the second video of the "drive away" but it seemed raspier than mine on the first video. However, I did notice it mellowed out as it warmed up as I think someone mentioned way earlier in this thread. And yes, definite power gains especially once the variable valve timing kicks in. I can still take a vid at some point this week if anyone is still interested, although its raining here for few days...

 

Here is a video from right after installation. Ill post another from about 4 weeks after, but the exhaust hasnt changed much, mayber a little deeper. It really is the best I have ver heard for the Z.

Can you feel a power increase.............yeah, its considerable. I read somewhere HR's were posting as much as 24hp increase.I believe it truely does!!!

 

Dude, your car is backfiring after you shut it off!

 

You must be hearing something else?!??

 

It actually sounds like gun shots. **** off your neighbors lately?

 

yeah those are def. gun shots you live near a range or what lol?

 

well i am def ordering one on wed. One BIG question........
How is highway driving??? any drone?

 

Drone <65 is minimal at best, > 65 is a peacful hummm =)

Edit: Below is a link to a video of after about a month on the books and I did watch the above video, it def is gun shots. Not all to uncommon in this area. Very in the country side of things.

In 6th gear below 65, yeah there is some drone but after all at that speed in top gear you're stuck at ~2100 rpms? At about 2500 rpms the tone really mellows out and if you just maintain speed without putting your foot into it, the exhaust is barely audible.

+1, sounds awesome on the highway. All in all, any (minimal) drone is heard on the highway, at lower rpms. But even still, its not obnoxious.

 

I love how when I finally find the perfect exhaust look and sound...it comes at a perfect price!

 

Exactly, thanks Turbo XS!

 

Don't forget, with the silencers in, in cabin sound through town is marginally louder than stock, and on the highway, there's pretty much no drone basically because the drone zone is reduced severely.

 

^ agreed, I forgot to mention I took out the silencers

 

I leave mine in most the time. I occasionally take them out and its even more gratifying because I don't get to hear it full boar everyday.

 

silencers...... what silencers

they hit the shelf in the garage before I even installed it I LOVE the sound!!!
