As for the OP, you all need to re-read his posts because he states this his exhaust was mandrel bent.
It is true that price does not ALWAYS mean better quality, but from what I have seen in most cases it does. I know who he bought the wing from and it is in fact a real Voltex wing from Japan.

I certainly know your reputation and trust you know what you're talking about. My question though is why does it say "CyberSpeed" if it is actually made by Voltex? As far as I knew the CyberSpeed wing hasn't come out yet. Are Voltex and SUN connected in some way?

Regardless, I still think it looks like **** and doesn't serve enough purpose on a street 350z.

Personally I dont care what you think of my wing (which isnt on the car anymore, nor is the body kit) It wasn't just for looks but it's actually the only wind tunnel wing proven to work. But I dont have to sit here and try to justify it to you because that would be a waste of my time.

To The the OP, congrats on your new exhaust and post some sound clips soon so we can see how it sounds!

Cyberspeed is a line that Sun Auto carries and it was on a Sun Sponsored vehicle prior which is why the sticker is still on there LOL. The wing is for sure Voltex Yeah, they are connected in that they work tightly together in Japan and are both major sponsors for cars such as the Cyber Evo driven by Eiji "Tarzan" Yamada

Hehe, of course it is your opinion. I personally dont like it much either, but if the car was out on the track it would be a great part to add to your arsenal to add some downforce and reduce your lap times

Some of you guys need to take a lesson, hell I bet rickdogg could charge you a pretty penny for the lessons too... you get what you pay for right? and if that were the case im sure it would be top notch advice you would receive.

Although im sure he doesn’t have the time nor the patients

the exaust looks great, especialy for the price
Thanks man! Although I think we all have our opinions, I try to be as helpful as I can. Seriously thanks for the kind words

Sorry guys, just got back from SD today. Im charging the camera right now so I can make a clip. I should have one up tonight. Well, it seems like everyone has settled down a little bit since when I first posted, which is good. lol Thanks for the comments guys (good and bad). Ill try to get some spacers this week (if their not too expensive), to help my pathetic wheels.

Make sure you get some decent spacers. I believe they are somewhere in the $100 range for some decent spacers(per pair, I could be wrong). Way to take all the critism w/o getting bent out of shape.

I'll give you props for straying from the norm and making your own custom job and not spending an arm and a leg on it. You said it sounds perfect for you and you don't think you lost any power, so IMO you achieved your goals perfectly. Good on you. F*ck all these haters that think the only way to go is the bolt-on's and doing what everyone else does.
ditto. I don't think I want to go that route, but I applaud anyone who feels the need to take the road less traveled and does not make decisions baswed on what everybody else has (if you do that, then its really not "customizing", its copying). And, I like the wheels (not the size and offset though)

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Minimul is correctly spelled "minimal". When I joined this forum I did not know people would be dissing each other over the spelling of words. This is a great forum for the enthusiast, let's not make it a spelling bee (that is just so 6th grade). Can't we all just get along!
