dual wall SS tips. I'm not a fan of the discolored blue Ti tips.

I think the the Ti tips look best on white and blue cars...but the SS look best on other colors

I will probably be going with the same setup soon. I am still waiting for the Stillen CAI and the spacers/grounding kit to arrive before I order the exhaust and HFC's

Cool. My next mod after the exhaust is the Stillen CAI...you going with Gen3? Was reading the DIY...a bit of a pain to have to remove the bumper every time to service the filters, but that's what makes it a true CAI. Should work well in combination with the Invidia exhaust.

I am going with the GEN II for a few reasons.

1) This is primarily my wife's DD so she doesn't NEED more HP
2) The GEN II has a throatier sound than the GEN III
3) The GEN II is easier to service and less invasive.

With the HFC's and CBE in the future, the HP gains will be found there. The grounding kit is popular to smooth out the idle and improve throttle response as well. Thanks to 6MT for his feedback on that!

I ordered this system on Monday and it was delivered by Thursday, when UPS has its main headquarters in your town nothing takes that long. I have a peaky drone starting around 2600RPM to 2900RPM. If I can find any other slash cut tips I may jump right on it.
370Z JT is right, but its not just a dissappointment, I just wasn't overwelmed. I met some friends Friday night 09 Lexus ISF, 08 lexus 350, 04 Z06 Vette with about 1500 miles I finally thrashed the car out on the interstate. ISF had a car length and a half on me, I touted the 350, but not by that much, and the Vette ran away from all of us. I wish I had a detuned GTR power plant or the Titain's 5.6 liter V8.

we can just pretend this was on a track

Good points about the Gen 2. I'm contemplating that might be the better way to go too b/c I don't want to be messing around with removing the front bumper all the time. The difference in HP gains between Gen 2 and 3 are likely negligible (Gen 3 sees a 7-10 HP gain through the range compared to stock, until you reach 6800-7500, where you get up to 18 HP).

Somewhat, there will be more sessions this spring and summer, its just fun to get out there and have a little fun, we're carefully pick the right spots and the right times. I will update any progress

I don't blame you, if I had an anniversary Z I would stick with a polished look. everything came together for me the testing videos, the price, blue Z, I just had go with the Gimini. The HFC keep bugging me though, should I?

I would...but I did HFC's first

NewlyIMPORTed · 03-30-2010, 11:06 PM

cannot wait to see how the non dual walled tips look

nogoodname · 04-03-2010, 12:08 AM

This exhaust is pretty good and under 1K too.

I like the single wall tips better. Looks more aggressive. Here's a vid posted awhile ago.
