yea exactly, and you'll just have to play the waiting game and see if no one else ponies up a few more greenbacks for it in the meantime good luck buddy, they are awesome cars for sure!

Fast Intentions (AWESOME sounding!) what are the hp gains it wasnt with the video...

AAM Axleback Competition S-Line Short tail (no hp gains so why bother)

Invidia +13hp and +10 ft lbs (woot)

HKS Hi-Power 10~15 hp gain

Have yet to check out cost. That will prob knock a few off the list too.

Dang! can't believe how cool my Z is going to sound....

The way I understand it, the FI get pretty good gains.

But, for the most part, custom exhaust is more about sound/appearance than it is performance, because what is 15hp in a 3300lbs car that's already pushing out "near as makes no difference" 300hp? It's a drop in the bucket. And if you've got other breathing mods already on the car, remember that the advertised gains aren't cumulative. They are all relative to a stock component where the rest of the components are all also stock. Exhausts, headers, cats, and intakes work a little different when you mix and match, so the gains aren't obvious. In other words, 15hp exhaust plus 15hp intake does not necessarily mean 30hp gain.

Just something to noodle.

Did anyone else get the same mental image?

Tighty whities and a turtleneck?

I like the Motordyne aswell.. I think it sounds freaking amazing, and is about the same cost as the Fast Intentions, but its like 1-2hp less... so meh

How loud is it compared to stock, though? That's the thing that's tough to gauge from those videos.

It's like adding the pair of nuts that the Z should have had. Oh wait........you said sound.

Its pretty subdued at idle with a faint growl but barely audible. During normal driving I don't find it very loud either. To me its perfect where it'd enough to make a statement and turn heads bit not loud enough to annoy anybody. Once you get on it though it really comes alive. Its probably louder than some of the others like stillen or Berk. Best part is no rasp at all if you leave the cats in.
