What to buy next...

Joey370Z · 04-28-2016, 01:26 PM

So I just put on my AAM resonated short tails and I am loving them, (I will have a review on them as soon as I have time). I am wondering what I should go to next. So I was thinking about buying the AAM midpipes which would make my system a catback AAM. Or should I put test pipes instead, or an intake? With intakes I was thinking about Z1 motorsport intake for not having to cut my frame up (maybe I'll dremel it out to fit a little better). If I go test pipes I was thinking berk resonated. I would appreciate some feedback. I do not want any raspy droney sounds. I love the deep aggressive growl from my resonated short tails and wish to keep it there with a power increase and a little louder of a sound.

Sounds like you need twin turbos 😎

What about headers?

1) Stillen G3
2) AAM Mid-pipe
3) HFCs.

First off I do have a money limit lol... Midpipes are the most expensive thing I'd do, but is the CAI's worth it? Or would I get more HP/sound or same HP/better sound from the midpipes?

If funds are an issue, go with the CAI first.

Did you ever consider the Z1 silicone intake tubes combined with the K&N air filters?

Joey370Z · 05-03-2016, 11:37 AM

I think I'm only going to do K&N drop in's nothing more with the intake, I've heard its really not that worth it, we have good intakes already. I am thinking about going with ART test pipes at the moment.

Are you sure 17 whp gains on the Stillen G3 isn't worth the money?

Joey370Z · 05-03-2016, 02:39 PM

I don't believe you gain 17whp from Stillen G3's off the bat, just from what I've read and such, I do believe some people have gained that much but with a tune and other mods. I think drop ins are the way to go if I'm not tracking my car. I want more sound/Torque/HP and I think intakes would lessen my low rpm torque which my car is a daily driver. So test pipes would give me best bang for my buck, from the people I've talked to they say just leave your intake alone.

I forgot where I read it, but an independent tuner actually lost a little hp with the Stillen G3 on the dyno. When they removed the bumper, however, that's when they saw the claimed gains. I don't know about you, but I like driving with my front bumper on. I still bought them though.
