yea i like what the one guy in the 370 one suggested with practicing on a spare piece of stainless steel and get your technique i guess down lol then go onto the real thing. i've though about this but since my Z is blue i like how the silver tips pop. blue on blue would be hard to notice i think.

Mine passenger side cat O2 sensor was cross threaded from the factory, ended up having to out the car in a vise grip and use a breaker bar and a wrench to get it out. It completely smoothed the area where the threads used to be, with no hope of re-threading it so I had to overnight another O2 sensor to get to work the next day. I found an NKG one on rockauto.com for about $180 shipped. Major PITA.

I've watched clips in this thread. Can someone put up a comparison clip between CF and non CF?

dmhenderson 10-18-2012 04:45 PM

They're going to sound the same if that's what you're asking. It's a look/weight thing.

Incorrect. SS and cf have different sounds.

dmhenderson 10-18-2012 05:57 PM

oh really? Go figure.

:iagree:

bdub561 10-18-2012 07:07 PM

Envy enlightened me on that subject a couple pages back henderson ;) I'd love a comparison video though! If it's really a big difference, I might have to upgrade! Rep to whoever finds/makes one! :tup:

dmhenderson 10-18-2012 07:26 PM

I'm sticking with steel. I don't really like the carbon fiber "look" all that much. Just personal taste and I love the exhaust note on the steel cans.

I don't have access to anyone local with a SS since there aren't many Z's in my area or I'd gladly make a literal side by side vid

djtodd 10-18-2012 08:32 PM

I'm willing to make one if someone in the SC area with a SS setup wants to meet ;)

JungleZ 10-18-2012 10:04 PM

carbon fiber sounds way better in my opinion, what the Z is supposed to sound like a nice exotic purr, not too deep and bassy.

invader19 10-18-2012 11:19 PM

You guys don't have to be in the same area to compare.
Just make sure 2 different people use the same make/model of camera in the same style environment.

Whooo hoooo #647 here!

Thanks again for your time today Tony!

Chemy 10-19-2012 10:21 PM

Well I called Tony and made a switch. I'm about 30 days from a ship date! I switched from 18" res SS to 12" res SS and res hfcs! Super excited..

axmea? 10-20-2012 12:41 AM

^ I'm 21 days out and the closer I get to the install date the longer it seems. Added a polished res hfc to the non res CF CBE I had ordered. Cannot wait.

yep I made that switch while we where still placing my order on the phone yesterday LOL:icon17:

im going with the same set up res hfcs and 12" res SS:tup:

What # are we on again guys?

Hehe... I made the switch on my HFC's back when I ordered them... I went from Non-Res HFC's to Res HFCs...

I wanted the growl without the super loud exhaust... I so made the right decision. The combination of Res HFC's and 18" Rec CBE gave me EXACTLY the type of volume and low growl that I was looking for without being too loud ...

Tony was great on the phone explaining everything and LISTENING to my concerns...:hello:

SA370 10-21-2012 11:37 AM

well I am 593 and was told ship date at end of month....might it come sooner?! That would be nice!

EverGreatest 10-21-2012 11:42 AM

my bad. just posted my number randomly without knowing that you guys are trying to find out the update of the delivery.

Sabre2 10-21-2012 08:43 PM

I'm 588 and it is showing up tomorrow

Zavier 10-21-2012 09:12 PM

This exhaust was definitely worth the wait (sounds amazing). Tony installed mine for me yesterday 589 (FI TDX Non Resonated SS). He and his staff are very professional and knowledgable. Can't say enough, the entire experience was just awesome. Also for those of you thinking of going forced induction, I got a sneak peak at the FI TT prototype (not finished) but looks very promising. Thanks again Tony!

kentstuh 10-21-2012 10:58 PM

The non Res cf sounds so exotic loud and deep. It should be #594 I'm guessing there were others after me. Had my exhaust installed by Tony! He awesome! Thanks Tony!

axmea? 10-22-2012 12:05 AM

594 will be installed Nov 9 -- R HFC & NR CF :tup:

Thanks for the advise. Just got it lowered about a month ago. It is what it is. As long as it functions and continues to do the job I'll be fine. I'd be more worried about puncturing or tearing up the whole thing.

NFSZ86 10-25-2012 12:47 AM

I know is not related to the topic. But this is how amazing the exhaust is for those who are waiting for it.

This exhaust is the bomb for not saying other words thanks again Tony.

So I get pulled over by a state trooper getting out on Addison going west on the 90.

Officer: u know how fast we're you going ?
Me: yes abt 20 over bc I was passing a car to get out onto this exit
Officer: let me see ur lic and ins
In my mind: I'm **** this is it =/ fucker was hiding under a ramp lol.
Officer comes back: how come ur record is clean having such a fast car ?
Me: mr officer car isn't that fast and we do race legally in a close track. no illegal racing for us.
Officer: what type of turbo do u have in the car? By this time I knew I was going to get away with it. jajajaja
Me: turbo???????? I have no turbo just intakes test pipes and exhaust. No turbo to much $$$$$
Officer: there's no way in hell your car sounds that amazing with just that.
Me: yes is just that.
Officer: get out the car and open the hood. Lmao he made me get out an open the hood for him. He was tripping when he seen there was no turbo.
Me: see officer no turbo.
Officer: where's the shop you got that exhaust from ??? I said is in California but I can give you the website to it. And is a 3 m waiting list. He said wtf are these made by hand. Lol we'll end of story he let me go and his going to be ordering a fast intentions exhaust pretty soon. Has a BMW 3 series didn't get in detail I wanted to leave. Though I'd share hilarious.
