Got an '08 Z with Fujita Cai and have TurboXS Exhaust on order. Have a general idea what it will sound like based upon about 10 sounds clips I have heard so far. What exactly will test pipes or HFC's do for me? My car is in the body shop being repaired and I can have aftermarket parts put on right now for little to no cost. I wasn't planning on doing HFC's or TP's but since labor is neglible, now's the time if I'm ever gonna do it. Tell me what I should add.

Use the search feature and see if you can find anything. It's my understanding that there aren't many mods yet for the HR which add much to the already great setup of the HR. Some mods will actually hurt your performance. Maybe once the reflash gets done some mods will be more helpful. But until then...

I'm not ready to start modding yet, so I haven't looked into much. But I am considering the Bassani exhaust considering the numbers I have seen. But I haven't seen them reproduced yet, so I'm not banking on it yet. Other than that, my only other n/a mods I have planned are the drop-in K&N's.

 

thats what HFCs get you.

 

Hula Dancer??? Where's the creativity? I thought you guys would at least come up with something original...like maybe a life size nude blow-up doll with Billary's likeness on my front bumper.

 

There's a forum member named Yoichi or something like that, and he has the Turboxs exhaust with test pipes. He posted soundclips also.

IMO, it sounds really raspy. And I'm not talking about that little rasp between 2,500-3,500 rpm. I mean raspy through all rpm's. My judgement is based on his soundclips though.

 

They will shoot flames out the back of the car.

 

 

sweeeeet! maybe i will begin construction of a custom grill rack mount for my rear bumper and post my charbroil bbq pit for sale in the classifieds?

 

 

thats not original i do that every tuesday on amateur night

 

what do you think they will do? More air flow=more power. put them on, free of charge, this is a good time to get em.

 

More Air Flow And Louder Sound Outta Most Exhaust.

 

Here's what they'll do on crappy *** CA 91 octane. We dyno lower here in CA. You guys in places that get 93 octane will always make more power than we do.

Enjoy.

a little out of topic but, anyone know how much gains will HFC get with a stock exhaust?

 

not much, unless u have headers imo

 

any dynos?

 

Awesome sound from the berks in that video... i should have mine next week

 

More airflow out of the exhaust is not always better. If you don't have enough air coming into and out of the engine to create a specific amount of backpressure in the exhaust then you will lose power.

However, in this particular case you are probably correct. I was merely stating a fact.

 

Back pressure is never good, you're referring to velocity.
