Bolt-ons = more HP, What about measurable acceleration improvements?

You kind of confirmed what I said though. Bolt-on changes alone may just be aesthetic. But in combination, the combined gains can be substantial. To take off 0.4sec, you have to do ALL the bolt-ons. Just doing, say, the HFCs won't amount to much in terms of difference in the numbers but perhaps the butt dyno gain is worth it just for the fun of it.

To add to this, I have the only 370Z in the area that I'm aware of. Thus, I have yet to experience a 370Z with any of these bolt-ons so I surely don't have any grasp of how any of them feel or sound.

Somebody with bolt-ons come on by to give me a ride-along so I can experience what I'm missing with my stock Z.
Do the HFCs and I bet you're going to realize they aren't just "aesthetic."

I just got the Berk HFCs installed today as my first mod and can notice a difference already in responsiveness.

Sound is also more aggressive and almost exotic sounding to me.


Anyone have just Berk HFCs and a Stillen G3 CAI? I have heard plenty of clips here with HFCs, full exhaust and CAI but not sure there is one of HFCs and G3...

Besides more power, how should you expect the sound to change with adding the G3 intake to the HFCs. I really don't want it "too" loud. There is a guy in my neighbourhood with a Lambo Gallardo that rips past my condo at 6am on some mornings at WOT and it is super annoying. I don't want to be that guy.

Can you record a sound clip with just the Berks? I’m thinking about going the same path!

370Z Exhaust Sound Clip data base

It's already been done by those with much better recording devices than I have. Checkout the DDMotorports one through this link.
