I Frankensteined my Tomei Y pipe with a Dynomax VT muffler (apparently for a 5.8L Tundra). Incredible difference in exhaust noise. A little louder than stock at idle but has some volume and rumble at full throttle, not obnoxious though. I gave it a full rev while under an overpass and it was totally tolerable.

Keep in mind this is a header back, single side exhaust, that was compared to Z1s race car when I was up there getting my tune. (John had to wear ear protection during the process)

The Z goes in hibernation in other parts of the country. So sad.

That's on my agenda this coming weekend. We drove the Z this weekend up to Wisconsin and it got rained on and is filthy. Can't wait to clean it up when I get back home.

Lol. I drive it through about 75miles of rain then it was outside at the B&B.

Spent about 2.5 hours cleaning her up today. Aside from some more rock chips, she's sitting pretty again. I'll keep her out for a few more weeks. Looks like the weather is holding, for now.

So here's the nudies of the intakes... Definitely feel the difference in the low end being smoother. Stronger pulls, more aggressive tone (sort of like the g35/37 exhaust kinda...) and looks cool as hell!

I am pleased with them.

The install took about 4 hours... a little long but was having trouble fitting the intake brackets over the engine area (after 30 min I just decided to re-use the old intakes brackets and my friend and I just shook our head thinking why not sooner) and the bumper was being a bit fickle. All in all it was fairly easy. Dremel was a lot easier than expected. Probably the easiest part of the job! Followed the guide for the MAF part and left them in the old intakes until I was done fitting and installation.
