They did the stopping test after they heated up the Z's brakes to cause fade.

Not that bad. Passenger side muffler came off without issue. The driver's side is a little bit more of a PITA. I had to unbolt the hanger from the car and remove it with the stock muffler, attach it to the new muffler, then get everything lined up and bolt it back in.

Might be different for you depending on what mufflers you go with.

don't think so. that's actually (from what I've seen) the best stopping time they've recorded amongst the 4 Z's they've tested.

Their test procedure does the 70-0 times before anything else, the the SQM, so they don't induce fade.

10-4. You might need to loosen the pipe connections at the factory H pipe to be able to move everything easily into place, but yeah, with the rear up on stands it's simple.

As soon as your payment for it goes through :roflpuke2:

If something were to happen to my Z, I'd probably get a 5.0 to replace it. :ugh2:

Otherwise, I'm keeping the Z till I get a GT-R.

That was a fun ride! Now it's Dan's turn to give me one. Maybe we can take the Subie for a spin afterwards :bowrofl:

Roger that. I think I may order the gt500s, and do another ninja install. I wonder if I'll lose my deposit if I get caught again:ugh2:


Also, I wonder how much a divorce costs?:icon17:

Are there no garages in the huntsville area you can rent?

Maybe rent a public storage garage for a month?
