Don't bother getting a cold air intake, they're sorta built-in to the 370 and offer so little return.

I am confused big time with the CAI now. Some say yes, some say no to CAI. Is it just better to drop in the K&N filters with the Z1 silicone plumbing???
I dont want to spend money on CAI if there is no gain in HP.

Cheers.

The air source is outside the engine bay from the factory.

If you can tell a difference before and after your CAI install i will be supremely impressed. I couldn't, and sold mine accordingly.

Spend the $300 on some fancy wheels / tires / brakes instead.
- But then again that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Armytrix, Tomei, or Motordyne yet lol.

It looks like Fast Intentions "Resonated" Catback might be my choice with stock cats. If I decide to turbo or supercharge it then I will swap for HFC. Probably not going to happen in a while.

Anyone have any sound clips of their exhaust set up?

Most of the Zs in Chicago are running the FI Catback and they sound/look very nice. You'll probably be happy with the 18" resonator with stock cats.

I personally run the Ark Grip CBE w/stock cats and love it. I think it sounds deeper than the FI and it has less interior drone (barely any actually).

Any chance you have a video of the Ark Grip on your car? :-)

Ah, yes I have also heard of ARK thanks for bringing that brand up to my attention. Well, I haven't been to any meets in the city but would like to. Any more info on such meets?

Thanks for your input btw. Very helpful.
