I need to get some soon. One of the tips is slightly off center so I'm taking it back to get that adjusted and a new o2 bung welded in. Maybe I'll get something this saturday.

I've actually only been running around on wastegate springs since I made that first video. There are some issues to fix before I really push the car, and since I'm kind of low on cash (thanks to Countrywide's shtt escrow acct), I'm having to take quite a bit more time to fix it.

I'm going to be back in the shop to get one of my mufflers tweaked and a new O2 bung so my wideband works correctly, next week. Then I'm going to be pulling the turbo kit off to redo some of the piping, reinstalling it, and hopefully rolling it back up to PF to get some motor issues addressed and get the injectors swapped out...

Hmm... and what's else... new oil feed line... custom tapped oil pan spacer with new return... Z32tt radiator... turboxs tuner so I can log afr's on the thing....

Bah.. it never ends I tell ya.

Couldn't you just take a quick vid of the exhaust at idle and rev a couple times? I just want to get an idea of what it sounds like before I get mine fabbed soon.

ok. I'm not doing much of anything this weekend (I think). The car still boosts fine on wastegate springs, with some smoke. I'll see if my neighbor can come video tape some drivebys too.

Thanks. I just want to get a general idea of how deep it sounds with those Vibrant resonators and how loud it is compared to stock.

Congratulations, Craig!

You're going to love it! It made a tremendous difference in my NA car... Imagine what it (and Jeremy's tune) will do in your Z...

Yup. I also have considered the ProEFI, and it looks great. However, after more consideration I decided I wanted something more hands on that is not locked out to me. The current EMS's on the market can adjust to mods to a certain point, so it's really nothing new. Target AFR's and boost sensitivity make it so easy and the EMS does most of the work anyway. The Haltech will give me the flexibility to tweak my tune whenever necessary.

+1 If I'm trying to get rid of something, I don't think I'd keep pouring more money into it. Honestly, you have a sick car JET, it'd be a shame if you got rid of it.
