My question through PM was if I'll have any fitment or other issues with a Cali spec car. Maybe someone can shed some light? I'm asking because when I bought headers and a cat-back for my 03 eclipse the hangers had to be reset. I won't be living in California too much longer so I could just wait and buy the car in another state, but I'd rather not if I don't have too.

My Thoughts:

These Berk HFCs along with a Stillen Gen3 CAI, and either Stillen or GTM Catback should clear the fairladys throat quite well.

Well enough to yield a possible 28 to 34 rwhp gain, im guessing 32rwhp total.

These mods with a good tune should get us in the 39 to 44 rwhp range!

my numbers are total guesses mind you

These will fit all 370Z's. There is no difference between any of these 370Z's. CA, 49 state, JDM, European, etc. They are all the same HFC wise.

Unfortunately my 370Z doesn't come in until April/May. I see the Berk HFC's for $495, hopefully you will sell them cheaper with free S&H. Is this a pure bolt on? Will the Stillen Cat Back Exhaust bolt onto these?

DDM - please PM me your price for the Berk HFC's as I'd like to add this set-up when my 370Z comes in. Please specify if S&H is included. Others are selling this for $494 with free S&H. Thanks!

Do us all a favor and dyno the car instead of posting a sound clip.

I personally picked up 13 hp and 4 ftlbs torque from the addition of cats and Y-pipe. Every car is different, but my Vette usually picked up 5-6 hp on the top end from aftermaket cats vs straight pipes. Also post your fuel/air as mine improved a great deal below 5000 rpm but still stayed around 12 to 1 over that rpm. Typically you see the free flowing effect more at higher rpm were more cfm is flowed.
