One thing to keep in mind ... 3" on a N/A car is louder than 3" on a T/T car. Those TTs are damn good mufflers.:tup:

3" pipes are great if you want to maximize output for big numbers, but are you really going to go that high? What are your realistic WHp goals?

I can already get to about 470 WHp on my HR-TT with 2.25" exhaust no sweat. I've been in a VHR-TT with 3" pipes and I will tell you that it is loud (to me?), especially when it is started up cold. Just some things to think about if your Z is a daily driver.

@XwChriswX: IMO, do the 2.5" now and enjoy them. No rush to do forced induction until you are sure you are ready. If / when you decide to do so, you can easily get 500WHp out of them.;)

To give more push to why I think I need the 3" is it's my goal to double the HP that I start out with, so if I roughly get ~300HP as a start, I'd like to see if I can break 600WHP. Thats my goal, however far fetched it may be, it's where I would be happy and can say I can move on to something else...

Also, the reason why I wouldn't care is I like volume I like mashing on the throttle and HEARING the engine come to life as you rock back into your seat... So I don't mind the up front cost of getting the 3" if in the end I don't have to trade it out later. I know F.I.'s Exhaust is awesome, but I dunno how many people would want a used one when they can get a brand new one for a great deal from Tony.

Yeah, I don't wanna push it as far as feasible cause the funding just isn't there IF something were to go wrong. This will be my DD as well as my fun car, so I can't go all out, but I would like to set a goal and achieve it.

If you like the sound of a loud exhaust, you will surely get it with the 3". Maybe it will motivate you to hurry with the TT if it is too loud N/A?;) Here in CA, being less obvious has its advantages.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, I'm not worried, as far as I know Z's get attention just for being so damm sexy lol So anymore attention isn't going to matter in the long run lol.

Something else to think about ... if you are planning on dropping 15 large for a TT, swapping out a 2.5" for a 3" should not even be on your mind. If it were me, I'd be curious to see if I can hit 600WHp with a 2.5". I bet it can be done.

The TT won't be anytime soon, it will be after a deployment or something like that, parents winning the littery etc. etc. lol. It will take a while to get there...

Finally, Fast Intentions can also build their Z exhaust in 3" if you want. Give them a call.;)

I've just heard that it's better to have the GTM Exhaust if your going with the GTM TT kit since they make them to fit eachother and so forth...

They will both physically fit. It's a matter of personal preference so you'll have to do a little research and compare the two systems.
