Default Looking for LA Locals

Im picking up my new Z in a few days and first thing next to my suspension and rims is the exhaust. Im looking for a variety of people with aftermarket exhausts in the LA area willing to meet up so i can get a first person impression. Im particularly interested in the Stillin, HKS, G200, and Nismo. Please contact me by email at bimmerguy2006@gmail.com. Thanks in advance.

Justin

Best way to check out stuff first hand is at meets. There's one today in Cerritos and Thursdays in Chino Hills...Everyone is welcome, well almost everyone. Check the Socal threads for more details.

Problem is most meets are REALLY out of the way for me. I live in Marina Del Rey, so like a 30 min drive is ok by me, but more than that and its a waste of gas.

Hey Bimmerguy2006, Iwas thinking of starting the same thread, Im in Mar Vista about two seconds away from you. im interested in hearing some exhausts since im in the market for one. im thinking Fujitsubo Ti or stainless but i do wanna hear others in person, regardless. May be we can meet up and head out to one of these meets or something.... dont really see much Zs around the westside so hit me up if you want. drfter_x@yahoo.com

They honestly dont give you the foggiest idea of what a certain exhaust sounds like. Differences in the recording equipment, distance from the car, etc all change the way a car sounds. Only way to really hear the exhaust is in person.

Justin, if you want to go to one of those meets I'll go with you and I'll take either the Z or the G35. We can caravan or something with Dobby too if he wants. Just call me and let me know.
