more or less it comes down a. if you have a bias and b. turbo/wastegate choice



the prices are very similar so it makes them competitive. i obviously lean to the FI kit. i like the design and look better plus i've seen a few builds on stock blocks with e85 push over 700whp. very impressive.



theres a stage 3 build in progress a guy here is pushing for 1000whp+ of the FI kit with a 4.0L block.

I'll have to do a lot more research down the line. And not just buy the kit like I did this morning. Lol.. I did read something about the bov being more internal and not letting off the sound for the AAM kit. And that maintenance would be a little harder.. But I was looking for more exhaust information at the time.

yea wit the turbo kit i'd say take some more time before pulling the trigger lol



there's a few differences between the kits that really come down to personal preference and build goals.

There is a break in period. The fiber will melt some which does make it louder. Also, the pipes will coat with exhaust soot. That typically helps is there are hints of rasp or tingyness to it.

Thanks SS.. But it doesn't seem like there will be a problem if I push it here and there right?

Can I pick your brain a little bit? Will the FI long tube headers fit my current setup? I have the resonated test pipes along with the 3" true duals if you don't remember.

You will lose the Resonated Testpipes. Sorry FP, I knew the answer ;) it's a worthwhile trade-off unless you want to keep the same volume.

Negligible. Resonated testpipes will be quieter

would it be terrible if i decided not to put in my CAI.. and upgrade my headers along with my other mods? i still plan on getting it tuned.. but i think im going to go a different route in terms of FI.. and i dont wish to cut parts out of my Z if its going to be moot in the future. any thoughts?
