Installed FI 12" resonated mid pipe, replacing my unresonated. With long tube headers, it was LOUD and had a lot of drone from 2200 - 2800 rpm, making it tough to drive for long distances (full disclosure: I really enjoyed it most of the time, but I do have to think of my wife occasionally). Also put on the z1 transmission mount.

The sound decrease is remarkable with the 12" resonators. I was stunned at what a difference it made. I'll miss shaking homes and small children, setting off car alarms as I cruise by, but the plus side is I no longer fear driving to Zdayz this May.

But the real hero here is the transmission mount. Love it! Way less movement from my trans, solid shifts, etc - you've heard it before, but it's all true. I'd previously installed the z1 bushing collars and I'm starting to get the cumulative benefits of these small mods. Next up are the diff bushings, but I'm not looking forward to that project ;)

On my lunch break, installed LED licence plate lights while gassing up the Z. Will take a couple pics tonight... Naturally. LOL

A lil burn out helps. I tried them before and i was unfortunately not impressed with them. Scrapped for indy500s.


Re11s discontinued. Cries. Re71r... for street feels... bit overkill

I didn't realize the resonators made that much of a difference. I ordered mine with 12" resonators and it seems to be a good balance both inside and outside of the car.

As for the rear diff bushing... Yeah, it's a PITA if you do it laying on your back.

Ordered this lower lip blackout vinyl piece:

For 70$, I'll give it a shot...

Then washed & waxed the Z.

Did baseline dyno pulls. 4th gear on 7AT with just Mishimoto post MAF and drop in K&N. Wanted a bit of idea what I will gain when parts get in and get tuned. Managed 285 on first pull.
Next week, full Resonated HFC and 18" resonated TDX w/ carbon fiber, Stillen G3, and 34 row oil cooler come in. Following week tune is scheduled

I wrapped the mirror covers with Black vinyl, and gave her nice polish and wax.

Then of course it was instantly covered in pollen.
