I'm just a little disappointed that I can't hear the exhaust as well as I thought I would. Buuut than again..it's not the best video neither haha. Just wondering if any other intakes are better sounding or if stockers would make the exhaust more noticable
hydro-lock on the Gen 3 is almost impossible, unless you submerge the Z on a river crossing. lol

I don't know man, I don't think I'd push my luck with the Injen in the puddle


It goes down too deep

haha... I exactly know how Sophia feels. It floods EVERYWHERE here! I was coming from NJMP track one day in very heavy rain, I had to tackle anywhere from 2" to 6-7" of flood water. I was driving through them like this

There were times, I woke up 5 in the morning to move my car as my street floods (not because of rain but due to tide. I live next to the bay ) My worst was Z tires were completely under water as it was parked. This why I have the flood warning app on iphone and I park my car end of the street (if I see warning).

I'll check out the spot (maybe shoot a video or two with your Z) sometime in future

If you can hydro lock Gen 3, there may be other problems you have to fix/repair .

I think your car sound fine. But if you want to go back to stock and see how things are , that's totally up to you.

On the side note, do you know any long stretch where I can make some videos? I like the place you're shooting your video.

Yeah, I shot the video in an industrial park in Swedesboro, NJ (South Jersey) Has a pretty decent stretch, has a nice curve but a few dips in the road. Also those daymned security cops. They haven't gotten me yet, but I get nervous haha. If ya ever wanna meet..let me know.
