i like it.

if you're not too worried about the legality of the TP's being that you live in CA then i would go test pipes. i personally like the sound and they do unlock the most power from the engine. also be sure to check out specialityZ out by LA. the tuner there Seb is one of if not the best tuner for the Z

here's a bit of non-sense for you.

Ah, the 3" dual setup with opposing cannons off the back. Your $hits gonna be loud. If you can get resonated I'd shoot for it, if not, might as well try em out

yes it is lol

i love it. i do have my carbon fiber mufflers on currently but it's just sitting in the garage until the weather warms back up. made a video like 2 weeks ago with the straight set-up but with the CF mufflers back on. pulled the car out when we had a random 60-ish degree feburary day lol just to move the fluids around then back to hibernation.

I could. At first doing my research I wasn't sure if the posts were talking about forced induction or fast intentions.. Very confusing. Lol

yea thats been a bigger debate as of late.

more or less it comes down a. if you have a bias and b. turbo/wastegate choice

the prices are very similar so it makes them competitive. i obviously lean to the FI kit. i like the design and look better plus i've seen a few builds on stock blocks with e85 push over 700whp. very impressive.

theres a stage 3 build in progress a guy here is pushing for 1000whp+ of the FI kit with a 4.0L block.
