Default Finally got my dream car!!!

2 days ago I bought an 06 350z enthusiast!! I have been so excited I haven't slept much in the last couple days!! Hahah the car is so fun and everything I hoped for! I have been searching for a year now all over the west half of the US. Finally found this silver 06 with 58k miles! I'm super happy to have found a rev up with low miles!! Also it's stock exhaust so any suggestions for best exhaust is greatly appreciated😉 Tell me what you think 😁😁😁

Congrats. Looks like Chrome Silver. Nice color.

I had the Invidia Gemini exhaust, which was amazing. Sounded so good all the time. If you don't like loud systems but want something with a nice, throaty growl when you get on the gas, then get the Gemini.

Keep eye on the oil, i also had the gemini with art pipes.... sounded good. Then i ditched gemini for tdx2. Sometimes it was too loud, usually date night

What a beautiful, tidy, well looked after coupe. I'd keep checking your oil regularly for the first few months just to make sure you've not got a burner and each to their own but I'd bin the grill. Eleven years on a stock exhaust is pretty good going, you can't go wrong with an Invidia Gemini, it will sound gorgeous compared to your stocker.

This is a well done vehicle. A little custom without being gaudy. If I were you, I wouldn't do a thing to it cosmetically. Don't give the police more reasons to want to pull you over.

I'm of the opinion that the exhaust does not need to be replaced. It grumbles and gargles sufficiently in its factory form. Not to mention you're messing with backpressure and airflow and that could lead to a loss of HP if you don't do things right... I wouldn't blame you if you did it, but just do your homework first and don't cheap out.

That grille is gross, but otherwise it looks nice. Get some tint thrown on there.

I had an Injen SES Track Edition dual exhaust, it sounded and looked great (and it is a true dual).

Your car looks to be in great shape; only 58K miles is a score for an '06. Congratulations and good luck with the new Z!

THANKS ALL!!! I love the suggestions! Invidia Gemini sounds amazing, I'm definitely looking to get it. So many options tho! And trust me, first thing I did when I drove home was take the stupid grill off 😂😂. Looks much better stock. Thanks again for the suggestions they've helped a ton already

This is a very solid example of what to look for in a Z. Good job finding one with such low miles as well.

That's a gorgeous Z. Those wheels work perfectly with the silver paint. Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the boards.
