I initially had the Z1 shorties on my car, switched to FI LTH, and noticed a power loss. After switching to the PPEs, I regained the lost power.

Recently, I dyno-tuned a 2016 370Z Nismo at my shop. It achieved 35x whp with just ART pipes, a full Motordyne exhaust, and E85 tuning. The car had stock intakes with K&N filters. In my opinion, there's no reason to pursue more NA power beyond this point.
I agree, I will just now have the test pipes with catback. Later, I will add the headers.

I prefer to keep the car NA because I am not a fan of Force induction at all.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
