Go get a dyno see the difference, see if you are running lean or if you have a HP drop from last time. if so get a tune (usually retunes are about $150ish). If its a minor drop but your AFR IS still good, get some more mods and retune.

So Im probaly gonna have the shop that I tune at install these anyway and retune it to be safe.. More mods,LOL.. Only thing left after theses is a GTM SC.. But with AWD I dont think so.

No. The tune was the most recent thing I've done.

I did the HKS exhaust in February.
I did the Stillen intake in March.
I did GTM Resonated Test Pipes in April. (I put on 7000 miles with these installed too!)
Then I switched them out for Motordyne Art pipes July/August.
And finally got an UpRev tune a few weeks ago.

My Z has never had issues. The SES light did come on about about 480miles after installing the ART pipes but I was literally driving to the other coast to get tuned.

Disconnecting the battery will not clear any SES codes if thats what you're talking about.

The tune sets the AFR based on the sensor parameters, the AFR will still shift slightly if the conditions change due to changing equipment. So yes, the car will still adapt a bit but going from stock cat to test pipe a tweak of the tune may be necessary especially if you want to maximize the equipment. Kaizen will give you a discount on a new dyno tune since you already have UpRev, or they might be able to tweak a little bit without using the dyno.

So will this new exhaust be a true dual? If so, hopefully it will be offered with a 3" diameter/piping for turbo guys. I'm looking into get a TT kit, and I would love to get a motordyne product. The quality/sound is great. Just make sure the mufflers don't hang low like the Ark/GTM/Fast Intentions!
