Nope we drove to Tallahasse and Tampa.. It was me and one of my best buds, we brought our dogs with us.. luckily he has a 4 door.

I personally enjoyed the drive to FL. Drove from Waldorf to Jacksonville, then Orlando the next day. Mostly all 95, but some areas where pretty nice.

Used to do the autotrain back in college (I would never put the Z on that **** though...). lol

Yup, it was a good drive. More cops than normal, some Motorcycle event was going on, Im not sure where, but there were trailored bikes everywhere.

Got the car running again. The stock file stored on the SCT tuner was corrupted. SCT wrote a new stock tune file and remotely flashed the device, then we were able to return the car to stock and load the Cobb.

Blew a charge pipe off on test drive, though, so we need to re-tighten everything and put it through a good test tonight.

Everything is tightened back up and the car is running strong. Hitting the 22 psi peak Cobb specifies. Pulls hard and the new FMIC/Intake results in some slightly obnoxious noise only car folks will appreciate.

Only trouble now is the exhaust. The fitment on the Magnaflow catback is not the best. It hangs a little too low so the rear section rubs a bit on the subframe resulting in a rattle at low rpm (i.e. idle, reverse, or just moving from a stop). We are going to spend some more time tomorrow tweaking the fitment a bit, but I think ultimately I'm going to need to modify the rubber exhaust hangers or source stiffer, shorter ones. The stockers are like marshmallows and allow for a lot of movement.

It sounds really good, though. I'm jelly. Z is quiet as a whisper.

Kinda like how we had to modify the rear y-pipe and muffler exhaust hangers on the Max installing the Stillen

"bolt-on" mods usually mean "some assembly and modification required"

usually the case for 95% of the systems out there, including ours, unfortunately nothing comes out perfect, and you can also blame the car manufacturers sometimes too as they don't pump out these cars all the same so exhaust/bumper alignments can be off because of that too

I couldn't agree more. The tolerances from car to car are going to vary. Only so much manufacturers can do to take that into account when designing the jigs to fabricate parts

Get it right get it tight.

I should have known Bubba Sparxxx was always talking about silicone couplers.

I found you, Ms. New Boosty.
