Stay NA or go to the Dark Side?

SPOHN

Not as bad as a boat though.

Yeah, in my opinion thinking about a car as an investment is well, a bit retarded.

It's no different than a woman, there is no ROI, it just keeps taking your money with the only return being "satisfaction".

Alright, Role Play since it would take an incredible amount of effort to do this with 100% guarantee that everything is included and packaged properly from my current location... Unless someone is chomping at the bit and throwing money, these aren't for sale currently. Just getting your guys opinion whether I should or should not.

[For Sale]
PPE Long Tube Ceramic Coated stepped Headers: Wire extensions not included. $800 + shipping

Motordyne XYZ Y pipe with HFC and resonator option. $500 + shipping

Tanabe midpipe back exhaust. $750 + shipping

Combo package of all three, $2,000, I pay shipping.

All parts installed at the same time and have roughly 7,000 miles on them. Exhaust and Y pipe have no scratches. Headers scratched some from install.

Go to my pics in my profile to see exhaust. Resonator brand new.
I will not lose sleep selling any of these parts and am 100% happy with them. I have multiple eargasms every time I drive it. The rasp you hear on the dyno went away 80% after break in. 95% gone with the M370 intake manifold. With the resonator instead of the cat, there shouldn't be any rasp, but haven't been able to check yet because I just ordered it yesterday.

Video's are unedited, and sorry for the quality, I improvised :P








End Roleplay

If the headers sell, I'll just get the BP kit. If they don't I'll most likely get the GTM twin SC kit. I won't be making much after I get raped by the uninstall of the headers. The Y pipe, I imagine should go pretty quickly.

lol, yeah, my Wife. Going back on the other side, if you listen, she apologizes for pooting. Every time I see those video's, I remember how I miss my car. I miss my Wife when I get boners... JK. She's F'n awesome, and sucks not having her by my side.

Yea wives r cool, they do cool stuff too!
Good luck with the part out! Hopefully you can finally get to where u want. I know how it feels to drop coin on all NA parts only to not be completely satisfied and THEN go boost. Did the same thing on my g35.. I learned my lesson the hard way, this time around on my g37 I wasted no time n jus went straight to boost. Love every second of it

I don't anticipate parting it out for a while. Heck, I'm debating whether I want to keep my Tanabe exhaust, and if I go BP, modify the exhaust pipe coming off the turbo to accept my cat. I have all kinds of crazy ideas. I can throw on AAM short tails and remove the rear section of the tanabe exhaust to ummm "amplify" the sound if the turbo is too quiet with the Stock Tanabe system. Short tails are cheap and the tips look like mine. The mid pipe has the same connection points as the stock one, so it brings to mind interesting ideas.

So I just rounded out all the cooling upgrades I should need for FI. CSF radiator and hood struts are on order.The last big things that I would like to have done is my diff, clutch/ flywheel, and some minor brake upgrades. So stock looking... Thank goodness it looks great from the factory.

Gonna go BP's single turbo BTW, didn't receive a reply back from GTM on a few emails the past few weeks. Kinda hard when they are busy and I'm not in the States. So in light of that, I will be replacing the rear section with short tails. Gonna keep my Tanabe, I like it too much lol. 18" resonators off a turbo on short tails with an opened up mid pipe should sound pretty beast. I'll save a butt load of money in the end too.

Good stuff! When all said and done youre gonna love it and be kickin yourself for trying to go NA.

Mr.Squeeze

Getting the BP kit is a wise choice the money that you save on installation is big.
