Default maybe someone can help me out

i have an 07 z only engine mods im running are an AEM intake and greddy exhaust i want to add a little more to it but im not going FI anytime soon
im thinking a plenum spacer and changing the final drive and getting some test pipes will help i have a few questions

WHAT AND WHERE
plenum spacer is best and where to buy
i found the final drive for 470$
do i need to run 2 oil ctach tanks or 1? (2 1 for each intake)
what test pipes are good that wont completely ruin the beautiful sounds of my greddy exhaust? ive heard a few test pipe with greddy that sounded like garbage really raspy

any other mod recommendations are welcome but im not looking to do anything nuts im working on a few different projects at the moment and the Z is the last of my concerns since i still owe money on it :-/

Do the finel drive. very good mod for the N/A world. But if you know your going FI I wouldn,t do the final drive. just if your staying N/A. and for test pipe its going to be a little rapy. I would go HFC instead. then a reflash would be a good thing.

Yea I planned on keeping my stock final just in case I come into enough money to go FI. I thought you didnt need to reflash the 2007 z's

1. there is no plenum spacer for the 07 + - uses a completely different intake manifold vs previous years

2. you don't need any catch can whatsoever

3. every test pipe will make your exhaust noticeably louder - even resonated ones. If you want to maintain more of your current sound, fit a set of high flow cats instead. They flow nearly as well as test pipes, won't affect the sound as dramatically, and won't cause the exhaust to stink (as test pipes absolutely will). Downside is they cost more than test pipes
