Good Lord, that setup sounds great Chris. Why are you tempting us with your setup? You've been repped for the vids.

A few questions for you stemming from those videos:

• How is the drone with the LTH + CatBack combo? - I can tell there was a bit of drone but how bad is it with windows rolled up and what RPM range does it occur?
• Did you get the car tuned right after installing the LTH? If not right away, how was the smell from the LTHs after the tune? Is it still noticeable if you have let's say a cop behind you?
• First vid @ 3:41 is that your house baller? ;)
• First vid @ 1:18, I saw that, some turn! :icon17:

LoL Thanks for the rep. :bowdown:

1. I have not had a chance to get my Z tuned since having the mods on due to not being done with performance parts and I only wanna have to get it tuned once. (Still need to get my NST Pulleys and a Stillen Intake installed first.) But as for the Drone, NO it is not bad. Just like any exhaust it's in the 2800-3k RPM band. With the windows up it's fine, with the windows down its a nice rumble down the road.

2. As for the smell, I myself don't mind it and it is not 'that' strong unless you're standing right behind my car. Now the car behind me might get a faint hint of it if I'm revving at the light, but since this never happens I'm not worried. When you come up to a light though with the windows down, your draft will pull the exhaust to the front of the car so you'll get a nice scent of pure power every now and then. :tup: Unless you're standing at the back of the car in a closed area, the gasses are not a problem.

3. LoL No that's in Cali. Not my house at all. :(

4. Yeah, that one snuck up on me lol :facepalm: I'd never driven that road before, so I think for a first time I didn't do too bad. I want to run it again now that I have a better suspension and better tires. :driving:

Chris thanks for the vids! I was hoping for more portions where you flat out nail it to hear the exhaust open up but I get the picture. -1 for driving an auto... or at least it sounded very much like one :p

Just ordered mine. #380. SS with 18" res. Now I have to find a way to entertain myself for the next couple months while I wait.

That is the tough part...I don't have a lot of patience and this exercise of waiting on my exhaust is teaching me a lesson.

Ah the nice scent of pure power every now and then :icon17: Great points as always Chris, hopefully you get the NST pulleys and belt soon. I have been tempted to pull the trigger on the LTHs for 2 months now and swap out the Berk cats; however, the fear of having to deal with emission issues and the cops have kept me on the sideline ... so far

Your setup has an awesome and exotic note :tup:

Hmm... I posted my dyno run vids, but guess it didn't stick for some reason, anyways, here they are again. Forgive the Audio on the 2nd parts of the video's, I guess the mic on my phone can't handle the 'power' that is FI :rofl2:







First part of the vids are taken from my GoPro so you can see where in the RPM band the exhaust is at. The 2nd part was taken with my phone. Sorry again for the audio. I'm working on getting a 2nd GoPro for better quality.

First 2 runs are in 4th gear with the 3rd run in 5th.

(And don't hate on the 7AT just because you can't shift as fast/cleanly :p )

:inoutroflpuke: :tup:

Also to help, here are my baseline and mid course dyno sheets.

It was on a Mustang Dyno, both runs. In AZ no less so heat suuuuucks.

But from baseline to after the LTH and CBE install with Cobb MAF tubes and K&N Drop ins we see a gain of 35whp/20wtq. Not bad for not being finished yet, and not having a tune. :tup:

Next planned mods, NST Pulleys, Stillen Gen III Intakes. (Unless Takeda finishes their CAI for the 370z. We shall see.. ) And the GTM GT-R Intake manifold if they ever make production runs. :p

I emailed Tony yesterday and there is a delay. :(
He is planning on my exhaust to be shipped the 30th... I have waited 7 weeks, so 4 more wont kill me lol....

For all the guys on the list waiting, I know the wait is killing you. But once you have the exhaust bolted on and you fire it up for the first time, it won't matter how long you waited. That will be the last thought in your mind. :tup:

You'll be spending the rest of your time with a:

you can't seem to get rid of... :inoutroflpuke:

Delay? Your kidding me right?

Delay on SS Mufflers.... Glad i went CF!

Scheduled a date to install! Only a few more weeks!!!! Cant wait to drive up to FI stock and home again sounding like a real sports car should!

Nope. I am extremely glad Tony was straightforward with me whenever I asked. Fast Intentions has some of the best customer service I have ever experienced.

I just cannot wait until the beginning of September so I can get that thing installed!

This news is a serious buzz kill...I guess that means an early October delivery for me!

I do not think the delay will affect you. If it does, it will be only by a few days.

My delay of mufflers and tips will be arriving August 25th. I have enough inventory of SS mufflers to take me until August 16-18th. I have plenty of tips. While we wait for the SS mufflers we will stay busy building the other components of the exhaust systems. This way once the mufflers arrive we can build the back half's in larger lots and ship more at once. After that initial shipment we should be just about back on track.

If anyone on the list has any comments or concerns please do not hesitate to pm me or email me directly...

Thank you, Tony
