No it's a coupe

I don't use the turnpike during the week. There is another blue 370 but has black wheels running around. Met him once at the Friday car cruise at that church in Wexford

Ok that was probably him then. I thought it was you then immediately realized it couldn't be since I couldn't hear you from the other side of the road.

I saw a newer black cherry around the Monroeville area so maybe it's the same car

Man you've had the mufflers on for a while now.

I saw your post in the AAM thread. I followed suit and PMed/Emailed them haha. We'll see if the price is worth it.

well i just havent had time to go see my guy for stickers. to be honest i may leave the mufflers on. just based on butt dyno i feel the straight pipes lost low end TQ (not like the Z has much to begin with lol) and had a little gain on the top end of the revs.

mufflers on with the bit more backpressure is just so much quicker off the line. or maybe i'm just an idiot and it feels that way based on sound? idk lol

maybe i'll have my pops follow me up there tonight with the jack and other tails and do some testing. takes 10 min to swap them out.

as for AAM yea i PM'd him and i would love to do it but again the reason why i dont have boost yet is the fact that i'd have to dump an extra 5-6k on tranny upgrade since i want over 500HP

Not a bad idea. Back to back runs should give you a clear picture. I can see why having the mufflers on would help with the low end torque though. How's the sound in comparison?? Is it noticeably quieter??

I already know that I'd have to dump probably another 2.5 in for clutch and install, plus the kit. If they threw the clutch in for free I'd be more inclined. I'm still waiting on the "heavily discounted price". If I'm still over 5 or 6k I'd rather save the money and buy some new wheels.

I actually need to do a test fit of the 18x8s I picked up a few weeks ago. If those don't clear the brakes then I'm selling those and running the All seasons I have now then buying some new wheels over the winter

seriously the first day after switching back my car sounded like stock in comparison. i mean the gf liked it since we could actually talk again and hear each other....

if you have sport brakes 18x8's may not clear depending on the way the wheel is made.

i was looking at 18x112's to put 315/325 drag radials on but couldnt find much to clear the sport brakes.

I picked up a set of rx8 wheels (not these exact ones)

but I think they should clear because of the spokes curve outward slightly (I think). Even if they do fit I may just say forget it and sell them. If they clear the brakes and decide to not bother with them I'll let you know and I can sell them to you if you are only going to use them for track wheels. Bolt pattern is 5x114

Hmm I'll have to take a look and see. Gotta see what my situation is with the bike before I make any decisions.

Cost??

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!
