the only way to really see how much quicker this car is vs a stock car is to run them side by side or take it to a track and see what the trap speed is

most of the time the increased noises in the car (intake and exhaust) will give the perception of a much faster car.

So i possibly have a custom exhaust . Close inspection revealed a custom headers but because its too tight i cant seems to find any catalytic converter wich makes me think it has a test pipe installed to a y pipe going a big diameter single pipe and seperate again with 2 resonator and 2 muffler. Do you think thats one reason my z seems faster than a stock z?

"Do you think thats one reason my z seems faster than a stock z?"

"SEEMS" is the operative word here. Why not actually TEST the dang thing and then you would have some hard data?

I felt bad for the guy not knowing what he had, but we all tried to help. He doesn't seem to care or listen, now i just think he is a troll. Because he still thinks that his exhaust (or any for that matter) and intake combo makes the car SO much faster than stock. I'm sure it sounds better and feels better but we've seen so many before and after dyno's since early 09 to know that they don't make that much difference power wise, so sorry.

there should be a thread on how to wash the undercarriage.

One would think that one would ask the previous owner beforehand what kind of exhaust, air intake & etc was put on the car. This is assuming that you can actually tell that items are aftermarket.

Thats the problem when buying a used car , i do like the sound of the exhaust note and also the third gen stillen intake. It's true that all of this mod wouldnt make you say wow about how fast this car is but trust me it's fast so much faster than my last 09 370z . I'm now wondering if this car has a moded chip /ecu .:confused:

Wouldn't be easier if you ask to the guy who sold you the Z?
