Alright guys, I don't even have the car yet and I'm already about to purchase some mods haha.

So I wanna do intake/exhaust soon and this is what I'm thinking:

1) JWT popcharger
2) Berk High Flow Cats
3) Greddy Evo2 exhuast

I really liked the sound of AJ's car, but I didn't like the rasp. So I think I'll be keeping the deep grumbling sound with the evo2 and getting rid of the rasp (and CEL) with the high flow cats. Is that correct?

Also i read that with the JWT, at high speeds if you put it in the neutral the car stalls? That seems kinda dangerous........

On a side note, I know I have to listen to other exhausts first before I make my purchase, I plan on doing that at the upcoming meets.

I've read plenty on the JWT and ruled that over other CAI systems... but then I read the '06 airbox with a drop in K&N will do better than the JWT. If you're getting a pre '06 model I would look on the forum for someone with an '06 airbox..... the '06 has a venturi design like the JWT and is enclosed to avoid heat soak that can plague the JWT

But in all honesty it's just an intake so I don't think you'll notice a real world difference between the two.

HFC should eliminate the rasp that test pipes can add. I thought AJ was running the Berk HFCs on his though.... I might be wrong though.

Good for you Rob.
The 06 airbox is good, but if you get a good long-ram intake, that has to help more. Just my .02. on that. Don't forget to look into the plenum spacers, etc.

WE can help you get all that stuff on no problem.
The car car will have a much different sound then mine, but still sound good!

Jeff-I have the Berk Test pipes. They are a bit raspy but I like the sound.

highflow cats is a waste of money , test pipes is the way to go, if you want an exhaust with test pipes that doesn't rasp go with the hks hi-power . k&n drop in filter will give you the best results , jwt will give a deeper engine sounds.

I would use the hfc over the test pipes to get rid of the rasp. I have hear many different claims over the intake. I have the jwt and will be installing it soon. The evo2 exhaust is a awsome system.

I have some UTR resonated test pipes that I am not using. I no longer have a 350z.
I bought them for 340 and am willing to sell them for 250 if you are interested.

They look identical to the intensepower.

OMFG,

That pissed me off and it isnt even my car.

I cant imagine how you feel right now. Espicially after the car being at their shop for what about 7 months.
I would be piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissed.

And yes, I know that it is only a minor issue, but im willing to guess that you are in the top 10 for most money spent on a Z in their shop. You would think that they could bleed the fukin clutch fluid.

Cturn-yeah Mike's look the Exact same as those...I wonder if there made by the same Manufacturer??

Dil, sorry bro got your message LATE.
YEs if they removed any clutch lines you'll have to do it.
Its really quite easy to do. Where is the car? If you can't move it then it will need to be done where the car sits.
I would Crucify Sharif if I spent as much as you did and the car did not Run perfect and have a freakin bow attached to it.
