Thats my goal, however far fetched it may be, it's where I would be happy and can say I can move on to something else...

Also, the reason why I wouldn't care is I like volume I like mashing on the throttle and HEARING the engine come to life as you rock back into your seat... So I don't mind the up front cost of getting the 3" if in the end I don't have to trade it out later. I know F.I.'s Exhaust is awesome, but I dunno how many people would want a used one when they can get a brand new one for a great deal from Tony.
Breaking 600WHp will not be a problem with a TT. Caution though ... even the VHR-TT with the 3" pipes I was in made 600+WHp. GTM and the owner decided to clip the power output in the end for reliability sake.

If you like the sound of a loud exhaust, you will surely get it with the 3". Maybe it will motivate you to hurry with the TT if it is too loud N/A? Here in CA, being less obvious has its advantages.

Something else to think about ... if you are planning on dropping 15 large for a TT, swapping out a 2.5" for a 3" should not even be on your mind. If it were me, I'd be curious to see if I can hit 600WHp with a 2.5". I bet it can be done.

Finally, Fast Intentions can also build their Z exhaust in 3" if you want. Give them a call.

Yeah, I don't wanna push it as far as feasible cause the funding just isn't there IF something were to go wrong. This will be my DD as well as my fun car, so I can't go all out, but I would like to set a goal and achieve it.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, I'm not worried, as far as I know Z's get attention just for being so damm sexy lol So anymore attention isn't going to matter in the long run lol.

Something else to think about ... if you are planning on dropping 15 large for a TT, swapping out a 2.5" for a 3" should not even be on your mind. If it were me, I'd be curious to see if I can hit 600WHp with a 2.5". I bet it can be done.

The TT won't be anytime soon, it will be after a deployment or something like that, parents winning the littery etc. etc. lol. It will take a while to get there...

Finally, Fast Intentions can also build their Z exhaust in 3" if you want. Give them a call.
I've just heard that it's better to have the GTM Exhaust if your going with the GTM TT kit since they make them to fit eachother and so forth...

They will both physically fit. It's a matter of personal preference so you'll have to do a little research and compare the two systems.

Ok, I'mma need someone with the GTM turbo kit and the F.I. Exhaust, and someone with the GTM turbo and GTM exhaust to come over and let me test them out side by side lol

J/k. Your absolutely right, I'm just waiting to see more Z's actually having the GTM TT kit and running in public...
