Now I'm looking to get Long tube headers from a guy in Ohio for the cost of OEM headers + OEM cats + labor costs of the swap from one car to another. Don't wanna spend the money on tuning though

you just cant decide on what parts you want huh? lol

trust me i did the same for a little bit then just did some research and went all out on what i wanted.

Yeah having a hard time deciding. So many different directions I can go but I can't decide which one. I was set on ART pipes before but the price of the HFC used made a lot of sense as well. Headers would be sweet (if I could find a great deal on them) but I don't wanna go too too crazy with the Z. Just enough to get a bit more power and sound without worrying about things breaking. The more I think about it, the more I think I may move out of Allegheny county before I have to get emissions again so I may not have to worry a whole lot about switching but we'll see

Makes sense. Find a product and stick with it. I do that with certain things, but whenever I build things up it's never 100% one company, depending on what I want

those were also approved by Tony from FI too so big thumbs up there

if you had your own paint setup then you could tell her that it was a project for both of you to work on together.

Those look sweet FP. Any significant weight savings? What about the width to fit a wider profile tire?

oh i'm dumb lol forgot what we were talking about.

i'm sure there is some weight savings but since its cleared CF and not raw CF its probably not much. now the fact that they are vented and pieces of the fender are missing then maybe a little weight savings there.

as for tire width i thing the fenders are EOM specs aside from the vented area.

Well if they are OEM spec you can have some "random acts of vandalism" happen then be forced to buy new fenders

his dad rarely lets anyone in the garage so him doing work for others would be probably not an option lol

Damn. I'll make an appointment I guess haha.

But seriously we can arrange for some strange children to target Blue Z's in the area and only the fenders. I think I saw that news article a few weeks ago
