Sorry about your father. My father passed away 7 years ago but he occasionally visits me in my dreams. I wish it was more often but I appreciate the times

Sorry about your father. My father passed away 7 years ago but he occasionally visits me in my dreams. I wish it was more often but I appreciate the times when it happens.

I want to thank you for you information on installing the return fuel system. You should consider adding it to the DIY fuel system stick (assuming there is one) in a similar way there is a Supplimental Still Super Charger Install description. Nice to have these tidbits of info in one place because i tend to forget what i read a day later and then can never find the info within the forums vast postings. I hope to get the CJM RFS sometime soon.

Also, I like your shift knob...what is it's weight in comparison to stock knob? How much and where did you purchase it?

Thanks and my condolances

Default Drone reduced

With all of the things I have done to my Z the exhaust system which so sweet at first had become a drone monster. From 2K-3K rpm, the exhaust would drone at highway speeds and get really loud during regular driving. I did some searching on the forum and saw an article about adding Helmholtz resonators to reduce the 130-160Hz noise by pressure wave cancellation. Well, I added them in and they DO REDUCE the drone.

They are quite simple in design but a bear to install. The fab shop I use came up with a solution that was way easier than T-ing off the exhaust tip area. The system clears everything under the car and the drone has been reduced by at least 50%.

The resonators are 28 inches long and 2.25 inches in diameter. All 304 stainless.
