congrats on the new place and like the TEs on there as well.
did you take any sound clips before and after headers? interested in the LTHs for the Z and just curious how much difference i'd be looking at in terms of increase exhaust volume. know it would be different from two entirely different cars. just curious thats all.

thaks man.
i haven't put on the headers. its suppose to sound louder since im losing the cats on my headers. this car has 4 sets of cats and i already lost 2 with the exhaust.
for the Z, the sound gets louder but sounds really mean and raspy. like a good raspy, not a cheap 4 cylinder raspy. ive only driven and been in the Z with the megan long tubes and they are a good buy for how cheap they are.

thanks so much. sleep is so good now knowing that the car is safe. i ca't tell you how much a relief it is, im sure true car guys with garages understand.
Thanks to my buddy for smoothing out and prepping the wing for paint. looks great and pearl/color matches perfectly which is rare. PPG paint and clear. clear texture matches perfectly too.





i used this 3m surround tape, same tape used with the toms diffuser for more of an oem look plus it does't scratches up the oem paint. i know toyota uses a big version of this with their oem lip kits.

Always wondered which tape Toyota used on their OEM body kit add-ons.....even the two-piece Corolla-S rear valence had that nice tape holding it on. Do you have a link to the particular product you used? When I googled "3m surround tape" it doesn't return anything too meaningful.

hehe, you'll be happy, trust me.
it's already ordered. waiting for parts in japan sucks. the front lip, was an extra two month wait time for some reason on the boat which makes it a 5 month wait. ridiculous but better be worth it.
