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....

need to make this post useless....had cup o noodles for lunch ...does anybody care ! aaahhhh
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.

Useless! That would have hurt my feelings, if I had feelings.

Would the visual be less useless if I wasn't wearing a turtle neck, and had some gravy and cheese curds stuck in my manly chest hair?
