I would invest it into the market.. Its had a dip that it hasn't recovered from in the last few days. Its a good time to buy. I suspect you could make 10% return this year

:p

Hahah, yeah where is that guy to chime in?!

If intake and exhaust are something you will choose to do first? Start with the exhaust and move to the front of the car. You will get the best gains by starting at the exhaust, IF you invest in a good exhaust.

My only reason why I suggested on the brakes and suspension first is because once you feel the incredible amount of neutrality gained off of the Z for such a low cost? You will truely be amazed. One exhaust or an intake without the other will not give you the increase in power you will hope for.

Adding the brake mods I recommended will give the car a supercar feel when stopping along with supercar type handling. Those swifts really improve handling by a generous margin. The Z has plenty of go. But when you do make an improvement their? You are going to want to do intake and exhaust or intake exhaust, HFC or test pipes ALL AT ONCE so you can actuallly feel like you made some real power gains.

What "good" exhaust would u recommend? I've been hearing a lotta good things about the Stillen.

IMO top 2 choices would be either FI or HKS.

However I would start with the braking system like unknown mentioned.

My personal taste would be FI. But stillen, GT Haus, Motordyne, AAM, CNT all good quality exhausts. All put out excellent power gains and are built to last.

Berk is another... you have a good amount of choices for exhausts.

Love my Berk

duhhh
 

dont be such a drag

For that amount, I would choose to spend it all on either the performance mods or appearance.

Performance wise, a CBE exhaust alone would probably use up all the funds. Aside from going with long tubes, like the Gen 3's, there really isn't a point going with an aftermarket intake. Buy some drop-in's and be done with it. Also, maybe upgrade the rotors and pads.


Aesthetic, I would spend it on a nice lip kit or lowering springs. I could also probably spend half of that cash on detailing supplies alone.

looking at gas prices, might be wise to just keep that extra grand for gas! lol :icon17:

I think the FI exhaust is a great performance AND aesthetic mod! :tup:

yah, that is the best looking exhaust for sure. :tup:

:iagree:

what do you want from your car...looks, sound, performance?

Buy 1.85 AAPL stock, wait 10 years when the share hits $1000, sell it and pocket $925 in profit then ask us on the420z.com what mod to spend your ~2 grand for your 420z. :tup:

Your exhaust sounds less raspy and loud them others I've heard on YouTube. Can you describe the sound under moderate and full throttle? Does it have a drone while cruising at highway speeds? Like you, I have a new car and want a better sounding exhaust but I DO NOT WANT something that is loud and would become obnoxious on long drives.

Save it invest it......

Now that I think about it ...just Play one round of roulette and bet it all on black.

You realize that your tax refund isn't "extra" money, but money you overpaid in taxes during the year. I'm no financial adviser, and I'm not gonna tell you that you could have been making interest off of that money the past year, but I do know that it was always your money that you earned to begin with.

That said, buy an exhaust. Or fund a trip to Z Days with lots of beer and strippers at the hotel for fellow forum members.

hookers and blow -- this thread has now come full circle

wrap at least the front of it.

Or if you don't care, Berk CBE FTW!

Well it's about time... Where were you guys when I suggested it on page 1? :rofl2:
