When I say this I obviously am not talking about the four digit drag racing guys either, so don't take this the wrong way. I'm talking about the 300-400whp street car/track day/racing guys.

Don't get me wrong though, I love and always will love turbo cars, but the effort you have to put in to extract N/A power its somehow satisfying. Plus I don't think you can beat the sound, response or reliability of a properly built and tuned N/A engine.
I think there are a lot of people here that agree with you. It's just not been fashionable to talk about NA engines until recently. We had to debate about a week just to get our own forum.

I remember that epic battle with the forum administrators, even after we won the poll etc....

Just wanted to update you guys, we're currently exploring a few different means of mass production, but it will be a couple of months before anything is released!

I'm super excited to get these things out there, and maybe more-so to get some developed for the new 370 and try to make 350whp N/A without touching the heads (just intake, cam, exhaust)!

I have been following your build of the 350Z on another board since Sandra. I am truly excited about what's going to come this year from you. I know that your current race car is a rev-up engine but I have an non rev up engine and was wondering if you will be producing a set for the non rev-ups too?

I am going to re-read the whole thread again for the build up of Z. haaha.

I know this is a N/A build. But I think this is the nicest sounding exhaust I have ever heard. I have the turbonetics kit, would such an exhaust fit? With the header?
I havent heard an exhaust that comes anywhere near this one. It is exactly what I want my car to sound like, that formula 1, super car sound. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. I have 05 350z non-revup with turbonetics kit.
