lol i was all about the hair dryer on high heat. get it really warm to where it becomes flexible. it took me about 45 min to an hour to do each. take your time and do a small section at a time (i started with the hardest curves first)heated up about 1" and stretched, formed, and dewrinkled. dont get discouraged tho. i messed up on my first attempt and had to peel off and start over. the learning curve on this stuff is quick tho once you figure out how to manipulate it.

i imagine the silver ring around the shifter would be a little tricky but coule be done. i would like to do mine as well. i think i may do part of my engine cover tomorrow (see kenchans album to see what im referring to).

I just gave up on it and decided to go in a different direction with my phone case :icon17:

I can feel it rev faster around 3-5k range, more aggressive launch (tire spin), and deeper exhaust tone. People concerned about rasp, it does not make sense to cold start your Z and rev it in neutral gear, because it will sound like crap, but when you drive and really push it, sounds great.

Fitment is spot on. Just look how thin is the stock pipe.

you think it'll make a difference in power even though i only have AAM short tails? since i lack back pressure

I'm not an expert but any y-pipe is better than stock. Once you take it off you will see the diameter is smaller compare to the eBay one, you can't lose. Anyone chimes in?
