I currently have the AAM short tail exhaust (muffler delete).

Just today I got straight pipes installed.

I think I blew an ear drum.......

:icon18::icon18:


On a side note, looks like i may be parting ways with my 370z. When I'm not in town my Dad drives it and says he enjoys it but now my Mom is complaining she is tired of driving their Tundra around town. Problem: mom wants a car, doesn't like my car because of the suspension etc. My Dad offered me an Audi TTS (mom likes it)...IF i put the DP on it and i am scott free and can drive it when in town.

So in December i will be parting out the couple of things i have on my car:
- Stance GR coils
- Invidia Gemini Exhaust
- Z1 tubes
- Forged Performance Shift Knob

Illmatic370z 10-22-2012 03:55 PM
Mine should be coming in today just waiting on UPS , is it that bad?

If this is true, depending on condition, I call dibs on those coilovers

You're dangerously close to "need a tune" territory with straight pipes.

1 possible buyer ahead of you bud, but you are next one in line (going by 1st come 1st serve based on the time of PMs and posts)

The coils are in good condition...I don't know the mileage on them as all my cars paperwork is back home but as the date gets closer I will get all the info on the parts.

Well I'm heading up to Austin Thursday, getting my tune from UpRev, they'll do the dyno tune and nitrous tune as well! :tup: Full UpRev sponsorship! And half priced Dyno! :tup:

As far as the shorties go, they are loud by themselves. By getting straight pipes, they are now ridiculously loud. But can still cruise just as quietly. When you give it gas they scream. I might end up putting my muffler back on, to quiet down my pipes... I dont think the muffler restricts too much flow anyways right?

USMCram 10-23-2012 08:20 PM
try to find a NISMO muffler.

If you want to just quiet it down without restricting flow, I would just have resonators installed.

You should think about getting some HFC's or test pipes... That will really open up the exhaust.

Looking forward to #'s with the nitrous!

I'm heading up to Austin on Thursday too, but I'll be in my Maxima instead of the Z.

USMCram 10-24-2012 09:19 PM
Yo, Jorge, where'd you send your headlights to get done?

Illmatic370z 10-24-2012 09:23 PM
He sent them to 180 in NY

LEGA-Z 10-25-2012 08:34 AM
Doing a final pull into Austin, will let you guys know how it goes at UpRev:tup:

LEGA-Z 10-26-2012 04:43 AM
Sorry to disappoint guys but no nitrous was tuned;(
It was my decision, after a couple points made by UpRev:

1. They felt the nozzles were a bit too close to the throttle body.
2. They strongly recommend a window switch.
3. They recommend running one step colder plugs regardless of the shot.
4. They recommend a regulator on the bottle along with a bottle warmer to keep constant pressure.

I asked if they could go ahead and tune the nitrous, and that I would later fix the issues. But they said it would have to be re-tuned if any changes were made. So I decided to put off the nitrous tune until i get headers, an oil cooler, and resolve the nitrous. Then I'll go back up for a second tune.


None the less here is the video of my Z's performance:tup:

It's a dynojet ... I hear they give lower numbers though?

If I'm correct... The mustang Dyno is called the heartbreaker due to it reading lower horsepower than the dynojet. Either way those are some sweet numbers! I wonder how much more HP it will read with the NOS!?!? You should be shredding up the track the next time you go. If the weather stays the same I'm thinking of going next Wed.:driving:

GTM Turn Key Twin Turbos are so tempting..... Ooooh why do I have to have a 7AT? D; lol

adolescent love. You saw the car, blew your load and fell in love. Totally overlooking that one nagging flaw cause she just put out how you wanted to. It's ok, you're young, it happens. lol. :tup:

atx370z 10-29-2012 07:27 PM
Thinking of selling my Z... Think 30k is a fair price considering mods (Which all serve a purpose with the exception of the front lip), 25k miles and in better than new condition inside and out?

Seems like the "racing scene" in the valley is pretty big.. I think if I put my car out there for sale it would get a ton of interest.

opinions welcome

I'll take dibs also on gr coils if no one comes thru...

LEGA-Z 11-03-2012 03:40 PM
So for autos would you say Superchargers or twin turbos? I have heard both.... Just that with twins you gotta be careful at the higher gears cause they can't take the torque as good at the higher rpms. Any views on this guys?

I was a grunt in the Marine Corps, of course I love guns.
I refuse to by an AR until I can buy this.
Tactical Life Sneak Peek: Savage M110 FCP HS Precision .338 Lapua Magnum

As far as ARs go. To hell with buying one. I'd rather build it. The only one I would buy would be the Colt LE versions. 1/7 rifling, made to be abused. mmmhmm.
