Hey all! Just purchased a Z in November and yesterday I completed installation of NISMO headers, exhaust and JWT "pop" modified intake. My Z is longer the same, it is now a monster, esp. around 5k rpm's. rich :-)

 

he he...Congratulations man!! You're in a great area to have a Z, too! Post a pic when you get a chance! Welcome to the Board!

 

Sounds like a great ride. I have a 350Z roadster with JWT Popcharger, grounding wires, and Borla true dual exhaust on order. Looking at custom headers next. How were those Nismo headers to install? Did you do it yourself or have a shop install? If you had a shop install, how much did they charge? Your input is appreciated.

Hey, EasyZ: Shop install, a real 350Z passion driven shop here in San Jose, CA. Rate: $85/hr. NISMO headers and exhaust along with JWT pop intake were all done at once. He kept the car 1.5 days = total labor of $725, but it was worth it because the car, my Z, is longer the same. Odometer 3574 when work was completed. So, I did not wast any time in getting the mod completed. Thnks for the inquiry--rich

 

Rich,

Thanks for the information. San Jose sounds like a great place for Z after market support. My problem is that I live in a smaller community on the FL coast (Melbourne) that has less facilities. I installed the grounding kit and JWT Popcharger myself. I can install the Borla exhaust, however, it's tough in the garage w/o a lift. I'm going to visit a shop in Titusville this weekend to check them out in regards to installing the exhaust and headers. Thanks again.
