Upgrade suggestions
 
Hello, I am finding it quite overwhelming with the many upgrade options available for the Z. I'd like some suggestions on good quality exhaust systems that sound a little more aggressive than factory, and wheels for my stock base 2013 White Pearl Z. I daily the car and go on road trips at least twice a year, so not interested in performance mods; just something to keep the Z looking great and running smooth. I may consider to add a low spoiler as well. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Not in any particular order. Do you research to determine which is right for you.

Fyi, I have a GThaus catback (also comes in axle back) it’s quiet when driving normally, but when you mash on the gas, it screams. It is LOUD when wot. But it has a very unique sound. And a low deep tone under 3k rpms. But it is expensive.

Very much personal choice.

Everyone has different opinion exhaust and wheels.My car has a free flowing 3" exhaust.Would be to loud for some people.

Enjoy the car.

Mods are like tattoos. You get one and can't stop getting more.

Thanks, Sway! I will do some research. Out of curiosity, what is the price for GThaus catback? The other day, a witch drove side by side with me trying to merge in my lane to get all the way left to the highway entrance. She kept speeding up and never thought so much as pulling back because there was no other cars behind. When I stopped to let her go she threw a fit and went on her way to line up. I got so annoyed by her stupidity, that I stepped on the gas pedal hard and felt embarrassed it wasn't loud enough to tell her off. I want the Z to sound aggressive like that, not like on my street where guys love to rev their V8 mustangs or the modded velositers that sound like 50's muscle cars.

LOL! That is what I am afraid of. Once I start, I can't stop! I've enjoyed my Z for 6 years and plan on keeping her for life, but after this long, time for some changes to keep it exciting! My entire street where I live is crazy, obnoxiously loud with those exhausts. I just need enough to tell idiots off and get out of my way!

GThaus is the best sounding my opinion by far...
The axle back is $1,500 ish, for the full catback it’s the axle plus the y pipe and midpipe, which are $500-600ish a piece.

Mine is now beyond ridiculous as it’s paired with art pipes.

You got a sound link? I have Art pipes with aam, definitely looking for a deeper sound.

Read my build thread. It starts off alright. Then it doesn't take long to start going down the rabbit hole. One mod leads to another, which leads to another.

Until you wake up one morning and think to yourself, “wtf was I thinking”, and with tattoos, you can’t exactly do a part-out sale.

OP, do what you think is right for you, but in reference to the tattoo comment, be tasteful about it. Don’t turn it into a rice mobile.

Ever see a person who had a tattoo inked in their 20's. But now are in their 60's? :icon14: It's even worse when they're in their 70's.

Depends on what you choose and who does the work.
