Question More bang for my buck

so im just starting to work on my z and i looked all over the net and this forum and decided the stillen cold air intake was the best for me.

[B]My question is what would be the best exhaust to install...[/B

Ill clarify im not looking for anything loud just more hp gain and over all best for a decent price i was going to get the magna flow "850$" but now i saw the injen "900$" and thought i should ask you guys

this is my first post so please be gentle lol :P

just thought id toss these pics in lol painting the calipers blue is the only thing ive done to the car and next time... ill have someone else do it lol

Best intake for you is the 06 airbox.

Best exhaust questions are a bannable offense.

Oh yeah...

Thanks for making this post, it's never been covered on this site. My personal favorite is the Home Depot gutter mod. It's cheap, and it sounds great.

Buy a couple of these, screw them together and you're good to go.

1) Questions related to intake/exhaust belong in the appropriate section

2) Painting your OEM calipers that aren't Brembo is a ricey move

3) Welcome to the forum

Rather than asking very general questions, just do your research.

Read around the forum, attend some meets, pickup a magazine or two.

Don't be lazy.

Dual exhaust doesn't necessarly have to include headers, TPs or HFCs. It just mean dual, individual piping from the cats back and may include a H or X-pipe inbetween.

OEM calipers look bad enough as it is, don't draw more attention to them by painting them.

Good point, black would make more sense. Blue will only make people look at them. Once they look at the OEM calipers, all they are going to think is "damn those are some ugly brakes." Then of course they will call you a ricer while they walk away snickering.

Wow people are mean! I belong to two other online clubs (both are mopar) and by far this is the worst! Why cant people just be polite and either give thier opinion or just not post at all? Lets face it any question you can think of has probably been asked already. So for the people to always say read the sticky. If people didnt always repost you would not have anything to read!

To answer your questions. If you want a little more go without a to aggressive sound go with a Nismo. If you keep your exhaust manifolds and cats its not a overly aggressive sound. And if down the road you want more poison add Nismo headers and HFC's or test pipes. Just my own opinion, so no smart azz comments!

I just wanted to say I like the blue calipers man. I rock a base model and I have been meaning to do mine. Looks great. I dont think its rice either. I havent been here long, but I love the search response to every new thread on here. Its almost as funny as the people posting subscribed when subscribing to a thread. Anyways nice calipers. Later
