dont waste your money on this exhaust I have it and have had problems from the moment I bought the exhaust it came all scratched up with dents looked like it was used they used barely any bubble wrap for shipping. Drivers side flex pipe came broken so I had to replace that. Resonators blew after having them on for a month with less than 1200 miles on the exhaust, so I had to replace those as well. With the money I've spent fixing the mistakes from factory I could have got a Fast Intentions exhaust. I bought the resonated test pipes from fast intentions and the craftsmanship was amazing compared to top speed and they were used. I'm saving up now for another exhaust probably the fast intentions hopefully nothing else goes wrong with this exhaust before I get my next one :ugh2:

I have the TS Test pipes on a base stock setup. A lilttle raspy. More than I would like. Really noticable around the 2500-2700 RPM range. I have had them for almost a month now, but have hardly driven the Z since I was on vacation. Really only done about 1 weeks worth of driving since installed. Rasp has gone down some and hoping it continues to go down with more driving on it. Got mine for $125 shipped off ebay. Can't really complain for that price.

thats the stock exhaust + test pipes. it wasn't a pleasant combo on my car either. get a cat back and it will help that rasp go away

That's what I'm planning to do. Just saving up for it. Getting what I want, not what I can get.:tup:
