Exhaust

Unless you're a 20 year old dying for attention get the HKS Hi-Power catback. That's the exhaust the Z should come with stock.

It's because they don't know the definition of 'drone'.

The only thing I factored into buying a Z when it came to gas was how much more I was going to be spending, but it was never a thought to not get the Z. Now gas is $3 cheaper than I imagined it'd be and I couldn't be happier.

Had I worried about gas mileage and gotten something else, I'd hate myself for not having bought the car I wanted.

Opinions differ, but I've had BOTH HKS and FI and prefer HKS, so take that for what it's worth.

Convenience mostly. 51 mile commute to work. The annoying part is that I can easily get 27-29MPG from the Z, except traffic gets in the way and slows me down and kills the mileage. I'm getting better at slow acceleration, but really I just want to be able to cruise at a steady 80MPH the whole time and I'll return 27MPG.

When you're idling along it sounds little louder than stock, but put your foot halfway or more into it and it wakes up with an aggressive growl that still is never annoyingly loud. It's what a sports car should sound like, IMO. It's more expensive but oh so worth it.

Actually most places are trying to liquidate the hks because it doesn't sell. Found a few for 1100-1300. Only Z1 is charging 2k for it
