This was the one of the very few disappointments I have with the Z (other is C pillar visibility). The stock exhaust sound was nothing like the 350Z's or my G35coupe. So, this week, I finally broke down and got my Invidia Gemini, thanks to the recommendations from the guys here. I can't wait to get it installed. Best bang for buck around, imo.

True, but you need to wrap the tube with aluminum foil or it will not resonate correctly.

from what ive seen, we dont get much of anything from just a CBE. If OP plans on doing a full bolt on setup then yes he should consider changing out the y pipe. I recomended the AAM exhaust deleate for a cost effective way to change the cars note.
which cbe is not a good question because, like stated before, you will recieve so many different answers. just get on youtube and look them up and be sure to look at the other exhaust mods in the video's, they will change how it sounds. Stillen, HKS, ARK, Indivia...... thats the best advice i can give you man. Last edited by destinyZ; 04-14-2011 at 03:47 PM. |

I've seen most people gaining 12-25whp from a CBE. That's a pretty substantial gain. |

Exactly. This is substantial for "just" the CBE mod, and nothing else (which is what I will be doing this Saturday). I'm stock save for the CBE. So I hope to get not only a better more aggressive sounding note/sound, but *some* gain in hp is an added bonus.

the best ive seen is 46WHP gain of of all stillen parts. the car felt weaker when he changed out the CBE because the sound was muffled (so that just was a mental state of mind) and the muffler in the rear chokes it a bit after you have supporting mods because you no longer have that staight, free flowing exhaust. *felt slower* post up the number plus he never stated about a dyno numbers before/after/and after the removal. im tellin you man, it wont happen but ill let you believe what you guys want. i can 100% garentee you the ARK gives you 1-2WHP on its own Im done, enjoy the exhaust..... no i dont have dyno sheets to prove it but its here in the forum somwhere.
