Hey Z1. ETA on those headers?

Ive been reading here and there, and what I can gather is that unless I get LTH's I shouldn't even bother getting headers. Unless, Z1 comes out with a set

You cannot have shorty headers and LTH.

LTH = Long tube headers. Aka headers that are longer. Short = shorter.

LTH will bolt onto the part most consider a "catback exhaust"

With shorty headers you will need HFC or test pipes.

These headers from z1 are not LTH but so far they seem to be the best option out there for making power.

install for LTH and these are about the same except for some say that getting the longer headers up in there to bolt takes a lil more effort.

Z1 has already released "their" shorty headers. The only thing is you have to buy HFC's or test pipes for an 03-06 350z or better known as the DE motor. These headers are exact copies of the momentum headers originally made for the 350z. These have already proven gains as good as LTH's but no proof that they outperform them as no one has done a full comparison. Hell, for the labor it takes to put em in, no one ever wants to do it more then once lol.

Oh ok. So those headers they've released can fit both the 350 AND the 370? For what I've read it looked like because it was an exact replica, some other modification was required to have it match up to the 370.

PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong. I'm looking at just keeping my car NA for now.

I just went back and re-read it. As long as I buy a HFC for the 350 it will match up to the headers. However, will it also match up to my MXP catback?
