Installed the Z1 Post MAF's and HKS drop in filters today. Then I took it for a test spin. My but dyno and VDC ingagement ratio dyno both tell me that it did provide some extra power. It increased the intake noise more than I thought too at high RPM. I figured since the stock box is retained that it would have no noise changes but the high flow filter along with the elimination of the flex pipes does provide a good volume increase. Great simple and inexpensive mod.

yah, i like the louder sound but not obnoxious like most cai's. :) nice job! :tup:

Thanks, and yeah I agree that I like the sound. It's one of those good types of loud.

cleaned / treated the leather seats with meguiars

Took advantage of a warm winter day by washing the dirt and salt off of my Z; a flash snow storm caught the wife and me by surprise while we were eating at a restaurant on Sunday evening . We took longer than usual to get home, because those sporty tires just don't appreciate the snow. ;)

bbigby- you were doing donuts in the parking lot so that's why it took longer than usual, huh? speak the truth. :icon17:

Why HPS over Z1? Just to be different?


Looks great man! Why did you choose Z1 over HPS? :icon17:

Just have had good experiences with Z1 and the price was right. I bought the pipes and an oil cooler kit at the same time.

i didn't know Z1 had tubes when i bought them a while back..but aren't they made by HPS? just a rebadge? :confused:

Yeah, man. After exiting the parking lot, getting up that hill was a b@#. The Z was fish tailing. It's nice that the car was aware of it. (NO sh#!) I tried to keep my cool, though. Didn't want the wife to panic. :D

:tup: hahaha sounds scary yet fun at the same time. :D

Nope. It was no fun. I just wanted to get my precious home in one piece, and the wife, too. :D Gotta check the forecast better next time. That snow storm came out if no where!

Nah, they're not made by the same company as far as I know. Also others have stated that. The fitment on the Z1 post MAFs were better. Go figure. There's also Mishimoto, but I gotta be honest with you, I think they're all pretty much going to show eaual results. :tup:

Thank you Mr.kenchan, like Mr.onzedge, since I cannot drive my Z these days, shopping stuffs for the Z is the only way I can comfort myself, I am afraid I am getting the Z-noon-drivable Syndrome that its high season is Winter or Screwing Lock Failure.... LOL

In fact, I did the K&N drop-in too, but those threads about CAI recently just making me itch very badly!!!

Left my Z at home because it's raining, and it's cleannnnnnn!
