Default Changes done to 0395

I posted some pictures in the intake/exhaust section of the problem I ran into with the Stillen Gen 3 intake.The pcv tube was inside the intake, lack of quality control or attention to detail I cleaned them up with an air tool problem solved.

Also installed a Mookeeh 3" exhaust system with silencer inserts and Surewin racing y-pipe. With out inserts, sounds like straight pipes loud!!! I wanted a one exit system but couldn't justifie $400 for a straight pipe and a cherry bomb muffler. It sounds good deeper tone, could look better but you can't have your cake and eat it.

Hub caps changed,some people objected to the cobra on them.

Cobb tuner installed, I notice a differencer with the Cobb tuner!!!

Technically HKS is a off brand, there all off brands except Nissan......

Just because its not brand x y or z does not mean its no good...

Exhaust systems only function is to expel gas fumes...My car is not a show Queen...

Total cost was $350 for cat back, theres one other member that was running the system and he had no problems with it. I asked him...

If you don't like what i'm doing to my car thats your opinion and your welcome to it. I'm trying to get the most out of my car for as little as possibly so i'll have more to spend on it.

I like it and it does it's job perfectly, thats all that matters...

I have a surewin downpipe I bought for my wife's gti and i'll say this, the build quality is on point and the install was a breeze. Been running it for a year now and no issues or leaks. And I purchased it from EBAY!!!!

So i can pay $350 for a **** poor welding job like the one in the first pics posted on the tips. No thanks. If anything your probley making things worse by not researching anything and tryin to buy the cheapest and poorest quality products made out there just to say that your modified and made changes. But who cares its your money and spend the way you want to.

Wheels are sweet, but you can't rotate for tire life.

An opinion is one thing but ignorance is just that!!!!

Talk about lack of researching. DID you trade your Nismo in for the worst of the three Muscle cars!!!

Drag strip visit will tell me if all the mods I did were worth it.

$1500 for a pretty exhaust or $350 for y-pipe, and a aftermarket exhaust system.Plus Gen3 intake $490, Cobb tuner $400,forgot my $200 experimental intake,still messing with it.

Totals pretty exhaust maybe 15 whp, same amount of $ more potential...The math is simply.

WTF?! Who are you referring to as having a show queen? I hope for your sake you weren't referring to me...Just because your "work horse" looks like crap doesn't mean it's fast. You have a stock nismo with replica parts...and now you're talking trash...Please bro, please. Save yourself the trouble, and exit. I track my z aggressively and A LOT more is done to mine compared to yours (with better than replica parts)...In conclusion, if you were referring to me, please don't insult my z by saying its a "show queen" because you are mistaken...

And just so you know, search some threads on replica parts. Yes they are cheaper, but all you sweet little parts you bought were made by a horrible no name, mass producing company in china. Every part's design was STOLEN from another, and will not have any where near the quality of the original. The quality sucks, the material is cheap, welds suck, and I honestly don't think you'll be making any power , except from the Stillen intakes and cobb tuner.

Anyways, I'm sure you think I'm wrong and stupid, so have fun "modding" you're nismo, then talking crap to people who know more than you.

Let's see some dyno charts or 1/4 mile time slips Mr. Ebay!

Brandon's car will pwn yours. He went the smart route with his mods and it came out great. The companies listed in his sig are what you should be choosing instead of relying on cheap Ebay alternatives/knock offs.
