intakes, cbe, and test pipes + tune will give you about 30-40whp.

the Z loses about 15-16% hp. so if you have 332hp to the crank, to the wheels the z gets about 280whp.

the guy they were mentioning states he has a cbe, intakes, and tp's but people can't read.

I believe the member edub370z got up to 321whp/268tq by adding

the ebay CNT Catback for $500-600
&
Test Pipes= $150-250

Intakes (He has injen but K&n plus MaF will do the same)- $100-180

it can... also depends on the dyno that's used.

Best way to add power, a high reading dyno. ;)
IMO that's where we get our NA WHP leaders from.
A more accurate measure would be % change but few people do all their mods at once or say on the same dyno. Two different dynos on two different days and I can gain (or lose) 10 whp or 3% variance.

Hey edub370z

Did you get a tune with this setup? Also do you have any sound clips or drone/rasp issues with the CNT Catback system?

This sounds like the perfect setup for my Z as long as the exhaust sounds good and there's no rasp/drone issues. :tup:

Yes, and IMO the tune added a bunch. also the day i dyno'd was a cooler day. (50's IIRC). remember, measuring HP has soooo many variables (hell i have lighter wheels, maybe that helped?). It has made a seat of the pants difference over a stock z tho.

this is the vid of my car with test pipes and a cent cat back.

side note/ramble session:

i never really do this, but this cat back has been awesome. i just looked at the date of this vid and it was 4 years ago. and this exhaust still looks brand new (literally). sound is great. i got to drive my dd behind my Z the other day and i was so happy to just be able to stay behind it and listen to it. I have to give credit where credit is due. and on a $600 exhaust, i didn't expect it to be as good as it was
