It's called the law of diminishing returns. You out long tubes and tube on a stock Nismo and make 30+who, all of a sudden it seems like a great deal.

It's called the law of diminishing returns. You out long tubes and tube on a stock Nismo and make 30+who, all of a sudden it seems like a great deal. Add it in to a full bolt on car and make 10, not so much. So the argument doesn't make sense when you actually look into it.

Maybe I am mistaken your audience as my comment but I agree with diminishing returns. LTH which remove the highly restrictive cats does make a nice gain. As far as motordyne intake I lost power with it and instead ported the upper and lower stock manifolds and improved performance over motordyne. I also added cold air intakes and that had a nice gain then added EPS throttle bodies and gained again with better throttle response. My situation is not budget worthy tho.

I also agree with coating them. Anything to help keep the Z cooler is better. I mean **** we already have to add an oil cooler just to get to the track.

I'm currently running a Motordyne Shockwave catback w/ Stillen Gen 3 intakes. Motordyne long tube headers is next in line. Still debating whether to go resonated or non resonated. Thoughts?

Resonated will mean less drone in car, I converted from non-res hfc to lth with res, the drone went down with them and the car isn't very noisy at lower speeds, compared to the hfc

Do you have any videos of how your car sounds with the 12" resonator and LTH. Are you the one that had the in car view while at the track? |
