curious..

Not to my knowledge because of the size of the spacer. Maybe if you were doing like a 10 or 15mm, but I don't think so on a 20mm.

I've had friends with non-ARP studs snap repeatedly, so I'm just doing a stud replacement to run through the spacers as opposed to bolt-on spacers that have their own built in lugs. It's a lot more money but the quality is significantly better.

I may drop the extra on the ARK or FI depending on what I decide. I'd go non resonated test pipes preferably. I love loud but hate drone.

I'm on Swifts with FI CBE and don't have any scraping issues with it....unless its a large speed bump. My front lip scrapes more than anything else

RBfastback · 08-31-2014, 02:35 PM

O that makes sense, I only have 15mm spacers an arp was too long...
so I used the h&r replacement studs.
I hate whoever thought that washer style lugs were a good idea

R3V · 09-01-2014, 08:32 AM

Hmm. How much for the 2nd one? The aftermarket head unit in my car is sub-par.

Hey guys, if anyone has leads for a nice part time job in South FL please PM me, I got 2 weeks in this one :\ I just got the Z too... ugh

R3V · 09-01-2014, 10:43 AM

Not a bad price!

lfrz93 · 09-01-2014, 04:18 PM

Anyone here have experience with the Z1 Test Pipes?

Huck · 09-01-2014, 11:52 PM

Not too much. Just took a set off of a 350, they seem decent t. it's hard to mess up a metal pipe with two flanges though lol.

Lmao. I figured. They also seem fairly priced considering they're just 2 metal tubes lol

Huck · 09-02-2014, 06:13 AM

I still recommend Fast Intentions for anything exhaust related though. They're more expensive, but they use the best materials, they have the best welds, the best sound, the best customer service. Can't beat them, but if you don't want to part with the cash then Z1 is an OK alternative.

Fair enough, I think that for the sake of simplicity and it being my first upgrade, I'll try out Z1 for the test pipes. When I have a little more money in the next few, I'll look into the CBE from FI with 18" resonators

R3V · 09-02-2014, 07:22 AM

My quote for a non-res CBE w/test pipes was around $1,500. Think it will drone?
