The 370z Useless Thread (Coors Lite version)

I''m doing cash I'm trying to set aside a little at a time so it's a less financial hit. My own layaway in a sense.

What do you think about the Invidia Q300 exhaust? They are working on a new version that removes the rasp and keeps the 18 HP gain. It is about $1000, $500 less than most of the competing stuff and appears to be similar in quality.

Part of the responsible 10%, that's what I like to hear

That's why I have done little in the 6 months since I bought the 370, want to pay cash as well.

I figured if I changed my mind and go with someone else I'd loose the down pymt and I'm not gonna give my money away that easy.

Very true. Can't downgrade either.
Payment plan is for people who have issues with saving.

I've been waiting to hear numbers on that invidia exhaust. It's pretty cheap from what I remember.

Yea, $500 cheaper than most everything else, sounds very nice, and similar quality with an 18 HP dyno increase.

New INVIDIA exhaust dual canister NO RASP. PROTOTYPE AVAILABLE SOON FROM AMPLIFIED

My mods are going from the least to the more expensive exhaust being last. My first mod was the berk hfc and that's enough of a difference that I'm not in a hurry for the exhaust.

18 hp claimed from the manufacturer right? No one has actually dynoed that yet, right?

Original dynoed with 18HP increase. The new version with a slight mod to the X pipe and adding resonators hasn't been dynoed yet, to my knowledge. Lou at amplified is working with them and claims version 2 will keep the 18HP and lose the rasp........ waiting to see new dyno numbers as well.
