Default 2013 370z new owner with questions

Just a couple of days ago I bought a slightly used 370z with 2500 miles on it. I love the car but after buying it from a Honda dealer, they told me that the exhuast had been upgraded and some other things too....
They gave me the original exhaust and parts along with a dyno run from slowmotionmotorsports.com which says rc2 intake, cat delete, can't exhaust up-rev tuned max 305 who/235wtq
They gave me the complete stock exhuast and two coil springs. They told my dad when he picked this stuff up that the springs were part of the "airbag" system....
Clearly this doesn't refer to the airbag safety system....more likely suspension and I did notice today that the rear wheels have a slight cant to them looking at the from behind. This bothers me but the car drives great and the car fax shows no damage history.
I am interested in knowing more about these modifications if anyone can help. Thanks.

Your one stop online shop for the best prices on Nissan, Infiniti, Hyundai Chevrolet, parts: AMSOIL, R2C Intakes, ARK, Invidia, BC Racing, Hotchkis, Tein, Greddy, MBRP Exhaust, Hawk, Project MU, StopTech, Mishimoto, AEM, Injen:Nissan, Infiniti, Chevr


thats a link to the intake . cat delete probly means they put in test pipes , cat back exhaust is usually better flowing and gives more power and Uprev dyno means they put it on the dyno and tuned it to get more power out of it and adjust a/f ratio dont know about the bags part

A 2013 370z used? Wow really that fast. Someone getting rid of it with 2,500 miles sounds quite odd, the car literally came out a couple months ago. They must've really hated the car or something.

I would think that knowingly selling a car with no cats might be illegal.

when a car has exhaust mods and has a intake on it. sometimes it can also be tuned. personally i would never buy a tuned/modded car with 2k miles on it. very weird how someone sold it with that little miles on it.

He said the dyno stated cat delete it doesn't mean he bought it that way. Just sayin...

I don't believe you really asked a question at all here.

That's what I thought too, but camber exhaust? Unless he means like angle tipped exhaust?
