Ready for Top Secret titanium exhaust
I thought you'd like a view few of us get to see. This is called Project Mothra and is a Top Secret project on a base 370Z. The CBE is going on next...

This was supposed to show the dyno chart.
so 269 bone stock ? That seems a bit high on their dyno. I dyno'd at 276 on my second pull with G3 intakes and BERK CBE. I do have bigger wheels/tires but that shouldn't matter. I was told they had a 370z on there that had headers and light weight flywheel on there from Baker Jackson and it put 280 with UpRev tune. I was also told that GT-R put down 480ish I believe. |

Swat Performance - Top Secret Performance Parts and Accessories
Ok so it's titanium and it cost $6,500 dollars, my thinking here is this: you pay as much as a supercharger costs, you and you get a Fookin Y-PIPE back exhaust that retains the most restrictive part of exhaust system maybe 10hp maybe. This has officially surpassed the ridiculously over priced nature of even the Porsche moniker. This just adds proof to my arguement about topsecret making overpriced racerboy rice parts. note the factory y-pipe heatsheilds, my suggestion to baker jackson: ditch that crap and go fast intentions or berk or stillen, or hell Invidia Gemini

^^ for their sake I hope not, the Z community is about value and performance, if you want to make parts that expensive market to Porsche drivers. However the picture looks like a full titanium headers and HFC, basically a long tube header. Only concerning thing that I can see is the O2 sensor placement

I hate how they make a teaser post and don't update, hope they get around to it. Last I heard that Top Secret picked up 3 Z's in a joint project with the dealership and each one is getting a different setup.

Just a note here -- and I apologize for inaccuracies, as I'm an enthusiastic observer of this project and sometimes get ahead of myself -- The exhaust is not on the car yet. I spoke to the dealership today and the Top Secret exhaust will actually be a stainless steel setup they have designed specifically to be a value-driven piece for Z drivers. So, it'll be much more affordable and still deliver TS-style sound and performance.
For the record, the owner of this dealership already has a GT-R that is fully Top-Secreted out and is probably unattainable to all but the most die-hard enthusiasts out there. They have no reason to try to do this to the Z. The Z they are building is more of an exercise in making a cool show/track car that uses some heretofore hard-to-get parts and makes them more accessible to people like me. I, for one, think it's pretty cool to see a dealership take on such a project.
