They are the 18" resonators. Stock cats for now, still undecided if I will go hfc.

Even with Swift drop, I don't foresee any clearance issues. The black front lip and air dams scrape all the time but the exhaust doesn't even though it looks scary in pics. These are the 2nd gen of the F.I. so they are raised slightly compared to the 1st gen.

Day two of my track day. Going good. Two cars spun in front of me. My tires are defiantly my limitation. Need some Hoosiers.

They could only satisfy his needs for a day. Now he wants to move on to something better.

Sounds great! Would like to hear some casual drive by footage though when you get a chance! It seems that everyone posting drive by clips of their exhausts do so at 6k+ RPMs. Since I personally don't spend the majority of my time at 6k+ RPMs, it would be nice to hear some real world representation!

I'm just sayin'!

Once my AAM axle back gets here, I plan on doing a before and after video with cruising at 25, 45, and 70. You hardly ever see video of people cruising, it's alway WOT or sitting there revving.

On a random side note, Im seriously tempted to buy a GTM supercharger kit. Im really trying to convince myself to spend the $$$. Also trying to convince myself that I can handle the install. Do I sacrifice a big chunk of my big lump mortgage payment this year for a SC? Ugh decisions, decisions. Sorry just thinking out loud.

Um....no.

The Z is too small for you to live in it after all...

Any reviews on this stuff? A good carwash without using and wasting a lot of water sounds like a good deal.
