Bmurray's 2008 350z Progress Thread
Nice clutch, is it the endurance? Let me know how you like it. In the future, I was thinking of swapping it out, but I hope my stage 2 full face will be able to hold up to some drag racing here and there.

It's actually a prototype clutch that they are going to be releasing soon for HR/VHR guys. My tuner has a great relationship with Dave @ SBC so I got the hookup on "testing" it out. If anything breaks, it's fixed for free. I'm definitely excited in trying it out.

Momentum Performance exhaust came in to replace the Agency Power.
Few reasons i changed.
-The agency power had a slight "tingy" noise on revs. idk if it was the titanium muffler or what. it still sounded great.. dont get me wrong, but the momentum just has a "crispier / deeper" exhaust note that blows the AP out of the water!
-This exhaust doesn't have that flat spot that the agency has, in the mid pipe.. I wanted the best possible flow especially since i'm about to install these longtubes. It'll be breathing good and smooth!
May not look as good as the AP, but sounds a lot lot better... Not to mention I put some money in my pocket on the change.

Good choice
I'm stoked you decided to buy new because I found a local buyer for mine so I'll get to hear it every now and then.
I never had an issue with my momentum mid pipe hitting the w brace. I had about a cm clearance and no vibration/rattle.
I had no idea the AP canister was titanium, I thought it was just a finish. IMO the momentum looks much cleaner.

Well apparently the guide pins on the flywheel or something were in the wrong spots so they have to ship me a new flywheel. So I won't be getting the car back until later this week / next weekend. Good news is the headers are in and no contact with the steering shaft
That sucks, I hear you on the waiting period, I hated it. lol Anyhow, at least you have some progress with your car. Let us know how you like the headers. Did you say you got the PPE?

No the Ap canister is titanium and the pipe is stainless steel. Good to hear that the headers are on with no problems. Did they start tuning yet?
I'm guessing they are not tuning yet since the clutch still isnt in... Or maybe they haven't dropped the trans yet? I wish I could hear this beast in person! Anyways excited for the sound clip! 
It appears you are right. I never really looked into them because I am not a fan of the Ti finish. I always thought it looked fake, but I guess its just not as polished and vivid colors as a ti tip.

Flywheel is in but I'm not sure if they've started tuning yet. I'm sure they have.

Ok awesome. I might actually get a set of the ppe headers next month.
