Stillen Headers on 370z

RCZ

Denny, it's getting old quick.

Not everyone here wants sound, not everyone here wants performance. Not everyone on your coveted Vette forums wants to see power power power. If I get on the vette forums and give you guys a great set of headers that sound like **** no one will buy it. I'm a little disappointed that you cant see past the few people on here that want bling. There's people like that everywhere.

Also, where on this thread do you see ANYONE talking about caring about sound rather than performance. Almost every post wants to know power gains and what the torque curve looks like. I think you've just been saving that comment because you are getting frustrated with some people who want to take the car a different direction than you. You don't have to be disappointed, just understand that people like different things.

This isn't anything personal, but sometimes we may get into trends that other people start finding annoying and someone needs to let us know. I like your performance-focused approach. I am the same way, just take it easy.

RCZ is right. While most people that buy a Z that you'll find on a forum are interested in performance, numbers on a dyno aren't the ultimate measure of a car for everyone. If they were, I'd have bought a base with sport pack, stripped it down, taken out the stereo and A/C and driven that noisy uncomfortable bucket around with an annoying drone for an exhaust note vibrating through the body. Would it be fast? Sure. Would I enjoy driving it daily? Absolutely not. For me, it's balace.

Denny, remember that practicality is application specific. My application is having a fast and fun daily driver, not a race car I drive on the streets.

For me an exhaust has to meet a lot of criterea before I purchase it. These include weight, power, quality, sound and looks. I don't want an exhaust that ruins the looks of my car any more than I want one that sounds like *** or doesn't make power. Why choose between looks, sound and performance? Demand it all and choose the one with the least compromise in what is more important to you.

Hear what you're saying that it takes different strokes for different folks, but it absolutely blows me away that no one bothers to verify the performance claims or even seems to care if they are honest. All I see is the vendors posting new products and the only ones posting dyno results.

My thing is I've seen so many dishonest power claims, that I refuse to believe any until I see someone test aftermarket products who is not trying to sell it. Horrible attitude right..... then prove me wrong the gains are not overstated and it not an accident if they are.

Hey, I'll be the next in line to buy if you can. Honestly waisted a lot of money on things that didn't do what they said they would do. Really......... and that gets old also.
