I have Megan test pipes and I love them.

Don't put steel wool in your exhaust. Save your money and get a tune if you're worried about getting a CEL.

Untuned however is a gas station

Isn't the purpose of tuning to undo the leaning out of all your other breather mods? Wouldn't you then have MORE gas being burned/smelling like death?
LOL

probably not. i don't mind doing it, but i'll be under the car with 4 jackstands for at least an hour. i've got a muffler shop that will do it for $40.

You do realize that the only job the rear 02 sensors have is to make sure that the cats are working properly, right? All they do is report a failure if they don't heat up to a preset temperature within a certain amount of time.

They don't "read" anything. At all.

$40? They must have never worked on a 370Z before.

Get that estimate in writing.

Lol @ the people bitching about the gas smell. Don't ever go around a muscle car, race track, or an car with big injectors at idle... If a lil gas smell gets u that bent outta shape ... Well... Get over it lol

been around the car scene for a good amount of time. although ive never came out with a heavy hitter myself, i know quite a few people. long time friends/grew up with hasbak, phase 2, and a few shops. ive got some pull. no reason to doubt that i cant make it happen for $40. need special smogs? i get them for $45.

Just saying... It takes a fair bit of labor to do the test pipes. One of the bolts needs to be accessed from the engine bay and usually you need to remove part of the intake for easier access. $40 is an AWESOME deal.
