They are the version 1 ART Pipes. You should see the version 2's man; they are fully polished and look almost too nice to put under the car. And I might add that the V2's are 600 bucks+ shipping. I found a decent deal on the V1 ones above that were never installed. I'll definitely update with a video after everything gets done.

Found another random picture from that shoot I did a while ago on my computer
. I doubt you can see this in the picture but I bought those license plate bolts from baller bolts in burnt titanium. One of my favorite little mods. Makes taking off the license plate super easy too. They go well with the HKS exhaust. Gotta love the little things in life haha. I'll have to get a closer picture when I get home.
In other news the ART pipes should be installed soon and i'll have sound clips asap. I have no clue if my iphone will take that good of video, hopefully it does.

LOL, Thanks man
, your car looks nice as well
While this thread is up at the top...
I'm thinking about getting DC5 Recaros (only if I find a good deal on a used set). They seem to be pretty cheap compared to other seats.
EDIT- decided against the Recaro's and going for Brides, focusing on finishing the bolt ons for the engine at the moment.

Oh yea, I just bought an MREV2 and Copper Iso-Thermal 5/16 Spacer. 
Any suggestions on what else I should get before the Osiris Flash and tune? Flash and tune will be done at R/T Tuning after the winter.
I already have HKS True Dual, K&N Drop in filter, JWT Clutch and ART Pipes. I'm sure you guys already know I have a rev-up motor.

Thanks Steve, can't wait to see the new LE's on your car, always a timeless look.
They were installed right before I stored the car for the winter. I did feel like they freed up the car a bit. I'm also really glad that the CEL didn't come on too. Hopefully they show some decent gains with the MREV and 5/16 spacer after the Uprev tune. That's great that you were able to get 15hp out of them.

Thought i'd bump my thread since the Z is getting tuned with Osiris Uprev by R/T Tuning very soon and getting the Motordyne MREV2 and 5/16 spacer.
I'll update the thread and review how the car feels after it's all said and done early next week.

Curious to hear your impressions. I did the MREV2 and 5/16" spacer install a few years back and definitely noticed better mid-range response, but I'm still running the stock cats so I never got tuned. Thinking about some HFC's or ART pipes and a tune maybe next year.
