To further clarify my goals on sound, since this is a roadster, failing emmisions, exhaust fumes and excessive rasp noise are not desired. I only drive this top down, sun shining and bitch in the front seat (jk). I'm looking for the slightly higher tone that's more common in exotic imports. And since its a small car, my thought of a deep throaty tone would make it somewhat out of place, like I was trying to make it a muscle car and looking for trouble, if you see where I'm going. Granted this is no Lotus or Farrari, but thats the type of sound I'm hoping to achieve.

I went through all the sound clips that were catalogue'd on this forum, but that caused more confusion honestly as some are re-posts due to comments plus a phone recording can't do justice to such an upgrade.

I'm in the Northern burbs of Chicago and it looks like GTHause is close enough to pay a live visit for some consultation, but then I'll be hooked on their tones and concerned I might leap prematurely. Alternatively I can check into Chicago Z Club and see when their next gathering is, that seems to be a good route maybe? Assuming there are people with those types of upgrades.

One other item that peaked my couriosity were the Gen III long tube intakes from Stillen. I think they said that was a 15WHP upgd. Does that also effect the sound much?

If anyone knows of a reliable installer that works on Z's that also would be appreciated.
