Arrrghhh....I already paid for all the upgrades I want and this emissions pass/fail makes we wonder should I really go thru with it. I wish I understood more about cars than just starting them and filling them up with gas.

After all my research on here and other boards these mods are a no brainer. The intake will be first for me since I can do that myself.

I have a question for those who have this. I saw some people mention that there is an exhaust rattle with the Stillen cat back. Is that true for all, or does it depend on how it's installed? Is there something I could tell them to watch out for when they are installing it? Thanks.

It's an installation issue. The instructions say to jack up the middle section before tightening all the bolts. Tell them to really, really jack it up as much as they can before tightening everything, otherwise when they remove the jack, that mid-section may hit the crossmember.

OP, would be helpful to understand what your objectives are for the car so we can give you more targeted input on mods that you might enjoy... street only or track? if track, what level are you at / hope to be at? 1/4 mile, auto-cross, time trial, and/or wheel to wheel racing? if street only, what kind of driving? do you want to impress your lady, your buddies or just go fast? etc

Also, check out some of the member galleries for ideas on mods that have been done and impressions

Thanks for the info Semtex! I'm glad to hear that the rattle can be avoided. That exhaust sounds so sexy.:yum:

BTW is that your Z on youtube posted with the name "chanbenb"? Just curious.

Yes.

niterydr, I can confirm that the Stillen CBE you purchase from Stillen now easily clears the rear crossmember. Go for it!

+1 Stillen has fixed this issue and they fit perfectly.
