The plan is 4"+ single or 3" duals in the future.

Fixed a few things on the Z today. One of which was the alternator wire was to close to the exhaust and wasn't tucked nicely. Heres a pic of the pass side with the wires tucked away again.

It takes probably a solid day, less if you have two+ motivated people. But it's fairly easy.

Also fixed an exhaust rattle, and a small electrical issue where my lights were turning on automatically.

Also found myself in traffic...sat in bumper to bumper for 1 hour. Had ac on the whole time with windows down. Coolant temps were good, oil temps were good, afrs stayed where they should be. Very good considering the heat soak.

Haha I'm down. Keep an eye on my YouTube Channel. I should have a few videos up soon once it'd tuned. We have a dude with a ZR1 and a 458 Italia I'll be running against.
