I raised the front 3/4" and no more metal on cement, just a little plastic scrapage every now and then.

I'll post a pic lata.
Now you see why mine is the height it is

Ah, not sure yet. I still don't know if I am willing to lose so much on the Z, so if I can't get a certain amount for it, I will just keep it and get another car. I'd like to be able to sell it though so someone else could enjoy it.

Just seeing if there is any interest in it. I'd rather sell it as a working car than part it out.

I got the height right now to where there is little to no scraping on the tracks if I take it correctly.

I haven't seen your car in a while but I could have sworn it was lower than what I'm at. We need to get together so I can see.

Big football weekend coming up.

LSU needs to beat Bama at home to stay in the Championship race and the Saints look to get there first 8-0 start in their history.

Does anybody in the BTR - NO area have Nismo exhaust and Berk HFCs on their Z? I'm planning on getting the cats and want to hear them in person.

It's going to be loud as ***** Dave

Not as loud as mine was but it's going to be significantly louder than what you're used to. I dunno what it is about the Nismo exhaust but anything aside from the stock cats turns it into pure insanity.

Don't tell me that - I don't want to have to get another exhaust.

I've read varying opinions on the Nismo/Berk combo. Some people consider it loud, others say it drones at 2-3K, others say it's not that loud. That's one reason I wanted to hear it.

You had the Nismo at one time didn't you? Did you have stock cats then?

BTW - you, me and Jason need to get together one night.

Yeah we're due up for a meet soon

When you heard mine, it was with test pipes. I'm not sure what it is... but most single exhaust's for the Z get really loud without stock cats. The TD exhausts seem to be quieter and not drone. The Nismo droned pretty bad between those RPMs Dave.

I sold my Stillen a few months ago to give me some incentive to buy another exhaust down the road (missed the stock exhaust note too). Too bad the next one is expensive as chit so I'll be rocking the stocker for another year or two
