I got my 2003 350 about a year ago, all i have done is install a top speed pro 1 hks replica exhaust,(it was a very tight/close fit cuz its lowered, the link to it is listed below) i like the sound to it and it sounds much better than it did stock but i have some money i could spend and i want to know what my best option is to make the car sound even better.

im not interested in performance as it goes plenty fast already, i have about $600 to spend, im considering buying an art pipe but im afraid it might not fit or the sound difference wont be worth the money, i could also get a new intake but i thought the 350 already has a good intake, or i could also go for a HFC, Y pipe, test pipe, or will getting it tuned make it sound better. What would you do if you were me, how should i spend this $600 in terms of making my car louder? vroom vroom

I know there are a lot of threads about things like this but i cant find **** or an answer to my problem so sorry if this offends you but im just looking for some help. if someone has a minute to give me some advice id appreciate you my mans Thank you

 

You want the car to be louder? Well, getting that HKS replica was a good start. You might as well add straight test pipes or resonated test pipes to that.

Those pipes will cost less than $200, so you might as well pocket the change.

 

I'd suggest this.

this is my current plan...
K&N filter with stock intake- $50 or with a popcharger intake
Motordyne 5/16 plenum spacer- $50
HFC- crawford....car currently passed the smog test but is due for another inspection soon

 

Thank You, i really appreciate the advice, i think im gonna go with the test pipes but do you think it will pass inspection? it passed with the my hks replica when it was inspected last year

 

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Why you gotta be tellin' people about my secret weapon?!?! Dayam, man!!! I mean, c'mon, that extra 29.2whp sound might be the diff between me actually having to race someone versus scaring them off as usual!!









Please don't anyone take that seriously.....pleeeeeeeeze?


It passed because aft of the catalysts, pretty much any cat-back exhaust is legal. Mess with the cats and that argument goes out the window.

 

Tune it!

 

$600 probably won't make a difference in a z.
Put that money in your savings account.

 

well stated

 

Spend it on your savings account bruh.

 

If not add some o2 extenders and it will pass. I had test pipes and an injen exhaust on mine and it passed.

I now run a stock exhaust(no cats) with an electronic cutout before the resonator

 

cphatch, contact me!

 

Savings accounts return nothing, throw it in any mutual fund and forget about it. Save it for something more worthwhile.

But if that does not interest you - I would trade your current exhaust for a stock setup, install test pipes, and a cutout after the Y.

 

I mean, you could buy $600 worth of crystal meth. I hear that meth is a worthwhile investment.
