Just installed the LTH and the 18'' res last night. The long tube headers were very frustrating to install. From getting the heat shield out to getting to the nuts on the stock manifold. But worth every penny. the cat back exhaust was very straight forward and the fitment was nothing short of amazing.

But the most important note I have to say is to be VERY careful swapping out the air/fuel senors in the stock manifold. 3 of the 4 came out without a hitch, but the 4th must have been cross threaded when installed, bc it was mangled when I removed it...this sensor is $500 !

I didnt want to start/ or run the Z without the sensor just to be on the safe side...so unfortunately I cant comment on the sound. But looks amazing!

oh yeah, last thing...I would 100% advise to pre PB Blaster ALL of your nuts and bolts leading up to the install. Almost went though a whole can...life saver.

Thanks guys. I attached a picture of the Z on the lift where it will stay untll i get my sensor...Sittin above the Viper comp coupe.

I've got about 150 miles on mine now and it's gotten a lot quieter. Non res with HFCs and now it's not even half as loud as the washer mod. WTF happened?

The glass pack in the mufflers is settling and the HFC's cells are collecting material.

It's just very quiet right now. Cold start its on the loud side, but after that its quiet. Above 4k rpm it's barely louder than when I just had HFCs.

Yup. That's called breaking it in.

Maybe you should get some headers instead of those HFC's...

I would love to have the LTHs they are amazing, but from what I've heard HFCs and TPs are louder than the LTHs...not sure if thats true, just what I've heard. Also I'm so close to pulling the trigger on the amuse partial cf rep

Yes, HFC's are louder than LTH's on startup, and on cruising, but when you open up the headers man, thats when they come to life. Thats what I like about them.

You are one of few my friend that say it is (too) quiet! Most tell me it quiets down but to the point where it is perfect for them. Now if you want to get more sound and more performance but not go overboard with spending than go with our test pipes or resonated test pipes. Either way your performance will increase as well as the sound. That is what you are trying to achieved, right?

Give me a call if you like and we can discuss options.

Have a great weekend...

Thanks, Tony

Thanks Tony. Don't get me wrong the exhaust note is beautiful, really brings out the best of the VQ. I just happen to like things really loud. If I could run LTHs and straight pipes no mufflers and make them exit at the rear of the side skirts that would be phenomenal! The HFCs I have now are pretty loud even with stock exhaust, but they do have some rasp I'm not crazy about. If I could I would get the LTHs in a heartbeat, I would need ceramic coating and the price is just too much for me with my other plans. I'm really not sure if the TPs would be much if any louder than the 200 cell HFCs I'm running now.

I would love to hear what the 3" system sounds like compared to the 2.5". I'm sure there isn't much of a difference but still would be interesting.

Testpipes would be quite a bit louder I'm sure. Have you ever heard them in person?

Yes but he had TPs paired with the invidia which is a different beast. Still wasn't loud at all
