Very nice, thanks for posting more pics and representing the BR/IF guys right. How are you liking the exhaust so far? I have the TurboXS catback with stock cats, and damn it sounds better and better every time I drive it, haha. It seriously is the only good sounding exhaust for these cars.

PS: The wallpaper on my phone used to be a picture of my girl, she got mad when I switched it to one of your car. Solution? ...nothing, your car is still on my phone, haha. Its that sexy rear end shot you posted a while back.

 

I gotta represent the rare breed, lol. There are not that many IF owners which is what makes this color so interesting IMO. In my case; mine is the opposite.....I had my Z on my iPhone then switched over to my wife

Oh snap a new page. I did a few small things here and there. I suppose I can take a few pix of it and see whether anyone can figure out what I did.

 

.....oh and about the exhaust, I couldn't agree with you more. I've only put a few miles on mine, but I've been hearing it sounds better with age and miles on it. I'm going to take it for a drive tomorrow, woot woot!

 

Still waiting for videos to prove no rasp

 

I am going to use a video camera this time instead of a digital cam and hopefully I don't get too much wind noise and distortion.

 

Here is my TurboXS catback with stock cats. I'm sure finalforce's is a lot louder with non-resonated test pipes though.

 

I could not access your vid on my laptop. Anyways I tried using my silencers, but it didn't help much. Its still pretty loud. I like it, however there is no way I can drive with that sound for a long stretch of distance.

 

A couple pix I took yesterday.

_______________________________

A few of my friends noticed something different on the rear, but could not point it out. Can anyone guess what's different?


One of my favorite shots with my new lens

 

Couldn't access the vid? Hmm...that's weird. Anyone else have that problem?

And you really think its "too" loud? I know mine isn't, maybe it would be with test pipes though. I've never even used the silencers.


Smaller Nissan emblem. Which one did you use?

 

That's right, you got it in one try, lol. Anyways I finally watched the vid. I didn't allow it to load yesterday because I was in a hurry to leave the house, but it sounds great! I will tell you this though, with the Turbo XS test pipes it is much louder. Don't get me wrong, I love the sound I just can't drive with it too long. I will miss the luxury of a quiet cabin ride. Its just probably a matter of getting used to. When I had my S14 SR, I did get a little bit tired of driving hearing that BOV after every shift. Its a good thing both cars were not my DD because I would not be able to deal with it on a daily basis.

 

You're absolutely right. I had a heavily modified 1994 300ZX Twin Turbo that I sold about a year and a half ago, and the combination of the full exhaust and blow off valves definitely got to you after a while. I have a Tiburon also, so the Z isn't my daily driver, but I feel like the TurboXS catback with stock cats would defintely not be a problem if I had it for the daily grind.

I don't doubt for a second that test pipes open it up A LOT, and would love to hear a drive-by video similar to mine of your car if you can get one.

Also, where did you get the emblem that you used for the rear? I really like the change and would never have thought of it.

 

Your car does sound reasonable for a daily drive. I would prefer that over mine right now, lol. But there are those times when I like the loud exotic sound, just not all the time. When I cruise with my friends I'm pumped to have that exhaust note because we all are modded. However when I'm cruising around with my wife it does become an issue at some point, but she says she can tolerate it.

Oh, BTW the emblem came off my engine cover since I no longer sport it. Instead of a big whopper in the back, I know have a jr. cheese burger Sorry for the late response.

 

^final thanks for the pm about your suspension setup..answered alot of questions for me..

 

Anytime man. Let me know if you need anything else.

 

I just finished doing a complete wire tuck on my engine. After hours and hours of work unscrewing, disconnecting, re-routing, new grounding points, re-securing lines/wires, making new brackets, and putting it all back together, etc., etc., its finally done! My hands and forearms have a lot of scratches and my shirt is drenched in dried up sweat. I didn't know a wire tuck can take this much out of a person. Anywho, tired, will take pix and post tomorrow of the finished project.

 

pics now or ban!!!

 

^^ +100000000000000000

 

Man I can't wait for those..I have been planning on doing a wire tuck but every time I look at the engine bay I can't decide where to start.

 

LOL, I'm resizing and uploading them.

 

I was hesitant to get started too, but once I did, I couldn't stop. Some of the most discreet wires were a pain to re-route.
