Found others online, same thing, but again barely any detail in the listing. They are listed at 100.

i got some HFC that i will prob end up parting ways with in the next couple of weeks. also i am about to put all my stock parts up in the marketplace,

Was interested in this b/c it was simple. I'd buy the True Dual in the classifieds but that muffler isn't in good shape.

Not looking for more power really. Looking for a nicer sound.

If I wanted more power I'd have kept one of the old toys.

Not necessarily. Had an S14 years ago and put on a monster of an exhaust. Sounded unbelievable.

Had plenty a car pull up and not want to have fun with it, all 170HP or so of it, lol. The funny thing was watching their faces try to see what had been done through the exceptionally dark windows, especially when others were in the car with me and they would look over and start laughing at these people ooogling.

I should add that one of my last toys was quieter than the nearly stock Z. It made about twice the power of the Z.

i was thinkin that the desire for power and the desire for sound go hand in hand

when they match up - its great - and like you said on the other spectrum - when it is super quiet and has 500whp - that is great also lol

i have a topspeed pro1 exhaust on my Z - i love it - its cheaper than that borla muffler - but i don't think it helps with power - maybe it does - but it sounds excellent

Eric....is this one of those Jacks that you have to move the main handle to let out the pressure for lowering ? I hate those kiind of jacks !

I would rather opt for the HF (Harbor Freight) Low profile Jack that is like $59 bucks on sale.

-------

Travis....just because Pat's Z was obnoxiously loud he wasn't very fast ! Lol.....so I can see where sound or exhaust doesn't equate to HP.....just ear plugs !

At the Coffe & Cars events, I would watch the Older muscle cars pullout and punch it...but they were not moving anywhere.....But when a GTR would roll out and punch it...it was like gone from site and it wasn't very loud.

But in your defense with this exhaust note and sound.....Yes, usually a louder exhaust note from a Z will produce more HP....just the way things are !

^ No videos of the TT until I figure out how to edit videos on Windows. Mainly, I just want to be able to sync multiple videos to do picture-in-picture.. and cut and combine videos. Any good suggestions?

I'll be uploading a video from Saturday's autox, though, lol.

-----------------------------------------------------

edit - http://mav.pca.org/Events/Autocross/...-TT06-HTML.htm

10th place overall and 2nd in class.


-----------------------------------------------------

As always, it was a pleasure seeing Chris and Eric at the race yesterday. I had a lot of fun and the TT was definitely an interesting experience. I'll see you guys at the upcoming events soon and, hopefully, I won't run out of skill there.

I've never done any pnp' - cut/combine is easy enough with windows movie maker - there are other freebies too - but i'm not at the house to reference anything lol

Adobe premier pro will do most everything - and does it well - http://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/nesting-sequences

^ Yeah, another thing is that it must maintain the original quality of the videos. WMM kills the quality and reduce the fps.

I wish I knew how to use the CS5. I don't even know jack about video editing to begin with, though.
