Flybygti were you in Ambridge today with your Z?

Hey FP, thought I'd share a pic I took earlier this week. We drove up to the Finger Lakes and came across Hector Falls right by the road. I couldn't resist the photo op! :)

Nice pic. :tup:

Very nice pic

Yup. I was there from about 3 until 6 or so for work

Very nice photo. Great color choice for the Roadster

yea my dad said he saw you driving around in the Z lol

Haha. I was going to say that I didn't see you driving around. Yeah one of our plants is down in Ambridge and I had to meet with someone so I went there in the afternoon

yea i was at work up in cranberry still when he texted me. he said who has a Z with a wing and a bad fitting exhaust lol i said it just needs adjusted but i know whos it is :bowrofl:

:icon18:

I will eventually get around to fixing it. Eventually...

i busted out laughing when he said that because i instantly knew it was yours lol

Haha. I laughed at the description. Only if the driver's side wasn't such a pain in my *** :shakes head:

I'll probably leave it how it is through the winter then adjust it when I pick up ART pipes since I have to get the car up again... or maybe I'll stop at an exhaust shop or dealership since I just need them to get the tips to line up :tup:

yea as long as it's not bouncing/loose and making bad noises i think you'll be ok.

Nah I fixed that problem. For some reason sometimes they sit low and vibrate off the cross member. Spaced that out the next day and that fixed that issue. My theory is that I'm not looking at the back end when I'm driving so it isn't really bothering me a whole lot, especially when I know it will be off again.

I am researching to see if ART pipes would pass emissions in different counties (other than Allegheny)

i live in beaver county and i know a guy lol

Hmmm if said guy can pass me living in Allegheny (unless I wind up moving which is a strong possibility) then I'll probably pick some up over the winter.

not sure how it works since it's technically "state inspection" if you can get inspected in a different county than your residence. hmmmm

Who knows. I have technically have until June to figure it out (by legal standards) but who's to say I won't avoid getting it done for a few months if I know I'm gonna move.

Now I'm trying to figure out if I'd rather do HFC or ART Pipes OR TP or LTH. Gotta weigh the costs vs the gains. You being straight piped doesn't help me with asking that to you :bowrofl:

not at all lol but i do have my mufflers back on the time being until i go get my stickers put on this month well whats left of this month

Hmmmmm. I feel like to do headers I'd need a mechanic friend with a lift... not sure I wanna do headers in my lot on ramps and stands. That was kinda a pain in the ***

yea i'm happy with just TP's. i would do headers if they werent so much more money. my TP's were $275. LTH's are 1200

Which is a lot of the reason that I'm kinda hesitant. I just read semtex's review and it's definitely positive. Here's his input on the dyno graphs Is all that really worth $1200 and the potential fines... probably not as of now.

So I guess it's down to HFC, TP or ART Pipes. Hmmmm decisions decisions

yea i mean if they were a little less money i would have LTH's over my TP's to be honest but cost/power ratios and also easy of installation all went to the TP's

I think I may go with resonated F.I. TP and mat that to the ARK exhaust

non-res bro lol :tiphat:

I'm rethinking it. If I can find a set of used ART pipes I'll probably pull the trigger sooner rather than later.

I'd like to hear the non-res ones. I just don't want it to be obnoxiously loud... all the time


Seems like there's power gains with the ART pipes of TP

mine are non res lol

Well maybe I'll have to meet up with you at some point and hear them just to see.

better do it quick before i take the mufflers back off lol :bowrofl:

I should do it before and after to do an accurate comparison

well i was thinking of taking them off regardless for cars and coffee this weekend if i go. only way i'm not going is if i dont go to my friends lake house.

So it's a 50/50 shot as of now?? Maybe I'll head up there this weekend since I missed the last one

well i do love alcohol and relaxing on a boat but i did tell him to go fuck himself this past weekend lol we shall see.

if you're gonna be in ambridge again anytime soon i live close to it so you could always swing by the house and hear the car.

I mean I sometimes take 18 home because my normal path gets boring after so much travel. I can always drive home that way one day this week.

you let me know if you do and when. i'm usually home by 5:15/5:30 after work

Hmm maybe Thursday. I would say Friday but I'm leaving at noon or not going to work. Haven't quite decided yet.

what a great set of options lol leave at noon or not work :tup:

Gotta finish up some ink work Friday afternoon. My priorities are definitely in the correct orientation.
