Chris thanks for the vids! I was hoping for more portions where you flat out nail it to hear the exhaust open up but I get the picture. -1 for driving an auto... or at least it sounded very much like one

Hmm... I posted my dyno run vids, but guess it didn't stick for some reason, anyways, here they are again. Forgive the Audio on the 2nd parts of the video's, I guess the mic on my phone can't handle the 'power' that is FI

First part of the vids are taken from my GoPro so you can see where in the RPM band the exhaust is at. The 2nd part was taken with my phone. Sorry again for the audio. I'm working on getting a 2nd GoPro for better quality.

First 2 runs are in 4th gear with the 3rd run in 5th.

(And don't hate on the 7AT just because you can't shift as fast/cleanly

)

Also to help, here are my baseline and mid course dyno sheets.

It was on a Mustang Dyno, both runs. In AZ no less so heat suuuuucks.

But from baseline to after the LTH and CBE install with Cobb MAF tubes and K&N Drop ins we see a gain of 35whp/20wtq. Not bad for not being finished yet, and not having a tune.

Next planned mods, NST Pulleys, Stillen Gen III Intakes. (Unless Takeda finishes their CAI for the 370z. We shall see.. ) And the GTM GT-R Intake manifold if they ever make production runs.

I emailed Tony yesterday and there is a delay.

He is planning on my exhaust to be shipped the 30th... I have waited 7 weeks, so 4 more wont kill me lol....

XwChriswX · 08-05-2011, 05:19 PM

For all the guys on the list waiting, I know the wait is killing you. But once you have the exhaust bolted on and you fire it up for the first time, it won't matter how long you waited. That will be the last thought in your mind.

You'll be spending the rest of your time with a:

you can't seem to get rid of...

This news is a serious buzz kill...I guess that means an early October delivery for me!

Thanks for these posts, the system sounds awesome! At 1:18 in that first vid, **** gets ridiculous! And the reason I don't have an AT is because I CAN shift

Just ordered mine. #380. SS with 18" res. Now I have to find a way to entertain myself for the next couple months while I wait.

That is the tough part...I don't have a lot of patience and this exercise of waiting on my exhaust is teaching me a lesson.

Delay on SS Mufflers.... Glad i went CF!

Scheduled a date to install! Only a few more weeks!!!! Cant wait to drive up to FI stock and home again sounding like a real sports car should!

u don't even have to rub hard when using the mother's polish. Its AMAZING! I use it only on the inside of the tips. The outside I clean with windex.

wstar · 08-06-2011, 11:19 AM

I use the same mother's stuff and a microfiber towel, works great. Does require a bit of force if you've let it go too long and really build up.

seems like im not doing something right.

When you're doing the cleaning part, use either paper towels or shop towels. I only use the MF cloth at the end once it's completely clean to wipe off any leftover residue.

Actually I use the mothers on the outside too because supposedly it makes a film to protect the metal and keep dirt from sticking... or so they claim. But it does make the whole cans shiny again.

I'm a real bad culprit of it because with it never being less than 100*F here until say... November, I don't get to go out and spend a day cleaning my car each week. So this job, which should only take about 15 mins, usually takes me about 45-an hour. (To do the inside tips, and the outside/cans.)
