Altered Atmosphere: 370Z Stillen CAI, Berk HFC, Stillen Exhaust Install
 

What's up everyone. Just figured I'd share an install we did last week on a customer's 370Z. He's a member on this forum as well actually, under the S/N 2theextreme.

He came up to our shop for our event a few weeks ago, and I talked to him for awhile about the mods he wanted to do to his Z, and we arranged an appointment for last Friday to have us install the Stillen CAI and Catback exhaust, as well as Berk High Flow Cats. Here are some pics I took from the install that day:

Exhaust:

Old cats going out, new ones in!

Took a bit of time to get these in, but once we got them one they looked absolutely gorgeous! Great stuff!

how was installing the O2 sensor on the HFC's.... i heard it's easy to break when taking out the old cats....

This is pretty much exactly what I want done (except maybe that AAM dual exhaust), and the place I'd have it done.

I'm glad to see you guys doing some more work on a 370!

Did you guys run any before/after dynos?

Nice! (Hope he doesn't mind you showing his license plate in full view w/o blurring.)

The O2's on the HFCs are pretty trivial to remove, it's the ones in the headers (if you install aftermarket headers) that are a bitch.

^Or maybe nogood was thinking about the header to cat bolts(?)

Call me crazy but that pic looks like test pipes, not HFCs.

They're HFCs, you just can't see them well in that pic. The HFC is further up the pipe, up above the bracket, which is above the O2 sensor.

Correct. Here's a pic of the HFC on my car which illustrates how far up the actual cat part is.

Looking real good 2the! :driving:

I want to hear this in person :)

Thanks, Jon! And yes, another 2 weeks and I'll be back for more upgrades! Can't wait!

Swing on by Altered on 3 July, if ya can! I'll be there! ;)

so how does it feel

:tup: Very nice! I'm loving the feeling and the sound I get when I push the gas pedal at a stop sign or a red light. If I really get on it, I've had a few people actually do a double take as I drive by. You really can feel a difference compared to how it was stock.

(Got my aunt so irritated that she's surfing the 'net right now for bolt ons for her Mustang! Shes not liking the fact I can be heard coming down the street more than the 'Stang!) :p
