However, I got my Magnaflow exhaust for the Challenger for $650 shipped. $1000+ for exhaust wow. I need to do some more digging to see if it really sounds much better than stock. On the Challenger it had to have something, this car not sure. I tested the exhaust back to back on the dyno on the Challenger and it only gained 5HP, but man it sounds WAY better.

For the Challenger, was that for a full catback or just for axle back?
I know with a lot of american V8 cars you can order an axle back and it adds a little bit of HP but a huge sound difference.

I put aside $100 per month for maintenance and repairs since I got my Z new. By the time the powertrain warranty expires, I will have about 5K saved for repairs. That's how I manage the surprise costs.

My driving habits, moderately aggressive/no track, got me about 15,000 miles out of my OEM Potenza RE050A's and they're about $1200 a set. I just bought some Potenza S-04s, which appear to be better tires with a better wear rating. We'll see. The biggest advantage to me is that the S-04s were $800 instead of $1200.
