One more vouch in for Tony and Motordyne.
Nothing but great things to say about him and the product. If I get myself back into a Z, it'll be Motordyne stuff all the way.

Tony, could you explain your naming schemes... because I can't match them up to the website. Maybe the names refer to the variations in the y-pipe with the straight pipe, resonator, cat?
As far as I can tell, you have:
- Shockwave Single (Axle-back)
- VQ Dual (Axle-back)
- Shockwave Dual Ti (Cat-back)
- Shockwave TDX (Cat-back - unlisted)

Yes, that is correct.
Also note, each component will be named but there won't be a new name for every possible mix&match "system". There are too many possibilities to name.
I'll be posting all the different parts on the Motordyne website in various categories so you can build your exhaust with the parts to fit your application.
You can see the XYZ as a small example. Its the Y-pipe section that has three options. 6 if you include the dual 3" turbo primaries with its corresponding options.
Then there will be a midpipe section with 5 options. Single, dual, TDX, resonated, non-resonated.
And there will be an axleback section with 5 options.
It will be put together as an exhaust system assembly line.
As you have seen, many of these parts have already been fabricated and sold, but I have been holding off putting all of them on the website because a few more parts need to be made to make the systems all come together.
And then there are the test pipes. Still need to get them produced too.

As for mods I have :
UR underdrive pulleys (full system)
Motordyne :Mrev2
Motordyne:5/16th Iso-thermal spacer
Motordyne: Shockwave Dual Ti exhaust system (full cat-back w/XYZ)
Stillen Oil pan upgrade,
Stillen Intake
w/*Z- Tube
SxExCx Custom Grounding kit
Invidia Test pipes
*KS kit, ADR M-sport rims, PowerSlot cyro treated slotted rotors front +rears w/Hawk HPS pads.
The back fires could be from a number of things, either the mods, my AFR since CEL b'c I do not have non-foulers, or also it could be since I recently changed my spark plugs and I failed to properly gap the new ones

unfortunately, I do not have a tune yet =(
A good tune is what I plan next.. undecided on which route to go.. I've heard alot of good reviews about the Uprev Osiris , and Unichip.. thinking of one of those
before I get a tune, I wanted to throw in the following:
*engine damper
*oil catch tank
*upgrade radiator to aluminum for quicker cooling
*Oil cooler kit
*re-change the spark plugs -- I think i made an error in gapping the new ones
* Nitrous Oxide
* full suspension upgrade incld camber kits and EDFC
While I realize some of these upgrades have no effect with getting the car tuned, it's just the order of priority for me.
As for headers.. The only way I'll buy headers is if Motordyne starts to produce one
-- I discussed getting headers with a reputable source and we have determined that the time+money and energy outweighed the benefits.. the results would have been very minimal.
Regarding FI: I'll FI my car when I no longer need to commute over 30-35K mi/year or when I buy a gas saving DD,

Demand exceeds supply? I am not surprised. Not with the most innovative, versatile, high quality exhaust for any car - for NA or FI. 
Let me know when the VQ TDX and 3" TDX primaries are ready and I'll set up an entire day for dyno testing components back to back
