Best way to go for power/tq and little noise?

Drop in filters and maf tubes are pretty popular around here but how is it pulling those numbers. That's as good as the stillen and takeda cai! Someone explain this

The M2 CBE I have on my Base Model Z is outstanding for both sound and durability. The thickness of the metal is great because I dropped my Z 1.5inches, and take railroad crossings like a maniac. There is a hollow metal reservior between the mufflers (can't see it in the pic, sorry) and it completely eliminates obnoxious idle noise - I LOVE IT!!! Not sure about it's affects on my performance as I am a n00b

The Weapon R short ram intake with SPECTRE filters and couplers (so everything could be red) has given me a noticeable kick off the line, and push at higher RPMs at the top of both 2nd and 3rd gear.

Exhaust - $350.00
Intake - $325.00
Air Filters - $25.00 per

Because those number aren't accurate.

Manufacturer dyno result:
Nissan 09-11 370Z 3.7L HPS Blue Silicone Air Intake Hose Post MAF Tube

Coupled with filters, should be getting around 10whp (I'm being generous) if you don't have any other mods. Like I said previously it's a great mod, I used to roll with Z1 tubes and k&n filters until I switched to g3's. If you want to stay quiet it is certainly the way to go.

Sorry to bump this attached is what I was referring to earlier (hollow metal reservior between the mufflers - works great to keep idle noise low).

Is that part of a catback you bought or is it something you had done custom?
