:ugh2: hahaha :rofl2: That's what she said! The tips looks beautiful even on Black color too.

I actually adjusted them kinda more flush than usual so that when they heat up and extend, they still look great!

Yeah after you put a few 1000 miles on it, the sound becomes deeper and more even tone. The only thing I hate about the VQ37 is the d@m hiss I get in low rpm, what do we call this agian??? The exhaust gets tons of fingers pointed at it on the road, ecspecialy buy other modded cars.
AK make sure you buy some stainless steal cleaner to keep this thing looking 100% dont use anything else to clean it or you could have chemical burns, ouch.

I do have a metal polisher but I will look for Stainless Steel Cleaner/polisher. I think I exactly know what you want me to buy ;)

For anyone who cares, here's a cold start and small acceleration (inside) video. I had to slow down in the 2nd video because I caught up to the car in front of me ;) (VDC on BTW :ugh: )

Cold Start

Acceleration Inside noise

Chassis Cam .. lol (okay, I was bored):icon17:

Hopefully if it doesn't rain ill be able to go to this event on sunday.. and take better pics

I don't know I think the tips don't look that nice when you look at them straight from the back like the pic above. Might just be me though.

Floor is uneven.. It may look a little weird.. But defo looks awesome and sounds sexy.. I'm a satisfied costumer :)

Uhoh.. AK.. License plate danger in your chassis cam!! ;) all that work to hide'em in your other vid got spoiled!

I finally received my exhaust. Unfortunately, I am missing one or more of the gasket plates! Mine only came with three. How important are these?

Gaskets?
Every muffler shops 'should' have these gaskets laying around in their shops.
And yes, you need it in order to prevent exhaust leaks..

Just call HKS and have them send you one over.

:iagree: They are pretty quick at replying emails. I emailed them with a question and they got back to me within 2 hours. Do you want the email address?

lol.. this camera is soo much fun! I guess this would be even crazier! :icon17: nah, camera is pretty well built :tup:

you gotta get stillen gen 3 intakes and berk hfcs!
then it'll be perfected!

Lets just say UPS and Fedex both were at my home today with Z goodies. ;)

Thanks, AK. I shot them an email earlier. Hoping for a response tomorrow.

Looking forward to finding out what new goodies you have for your Z!

Thank you AK. This is inspiring. What is the ground clearance from the ground to the lowest point of the exhaust?

I'll chime in and say I've had 0 scrapes on the piping or tips with mine and I've gone over several types of drive ways and speed bumps. It tucks pretty good. Although I'm not as low as you it's probably one of the better options. I've heard others with lowered cars say they had good results too.
