Man this is gonna be a busy month or so. Installing my dynamat this weekend. Emblems should be here soon (assuming they ever clear customs), Wheels getting powdered on Monday, Headlights are getting modded next Fri, exhaust and HFCs arrive next month.

I really want to get the CF version, but it looks too dark to be noticed. Looks like SS it is.

depends on where you are looking from. in a car behind the z u can see it from a distance but just walking around all you see is the tips anyways since its such a low car lol or from off at a distance. honestly you should base your decision on sound not looks.

If that were the case then why offer 2 styles? It's for looks. I'm still looking for a well lit picture of the CF version. It's the difference between ordering this unit or the HKS.

A few things...

1) The CF option is not just for looks. It has a definite change it sound (for the better).

2) Having owned both, the quality of the FI kit is orders of magnitude higher. It's hard to describe until you see it in person. Not to say that the HKS isn't a good unit, but everything I have seen from FI is a work of art. Also, aesthetically I prefer the baffled look of the FI tips as opposed to the tin cans on the HKS.

3) Call up HKS if you need support/questions/etc, then call Tony. Enough Said.

Lastly...support the community vendors! They certainly support us.

i can take pictures of my CF later for you if needed. but the sound between the CF and SS should be the majority of the decision. maybe a 75/25 split between thoughts on sound then looks respectively. personally i love the CF look under my blue Z and then it just worked out perfectly since i wanted the exotic sound and thats what the CF offers over the SS.

worst case call Tony he's the best. he will talk you through any issues or questions you may have. or PM me directly. i will help anyone as much as i can.

Out of curiosity, how often do your O2 sensors get destroyed when you remove the stock cats?

That's more common when removing from the manifolds, not the cats. I don't know if I've ever heard of someone messing them up when removing from cats. Honesty they have always come out rather easy for me.

As long as you arent stripping the threads, your sensors should be okay.

Yeah I thought it was a risk with headers but not cats. Then someone today said "good luck with your O2 sensors" or something to that effect when I mentioned the HFCs.
