Yeah, its not too bad, I'll post a pic of the scratch but its not horrible. Thing is the front is too low so I can't get into my spot at Corporate and I need to back in, back is too low as well.

Is Stillen the way to go, which other ones stay up high and sound good? Not terribly concerned about a few lbs as I am going with Turbos and will have plenty of HP, more then I will need.

Any advice is much appreciated.

If you don't want to drop a lot of cash, invidia is a good way to go. MXP looks like a decent option, but can't vouch for it.

...go get a JDM exhaust

What do the JDM's go for and who sells them? Thanks for the advice!

I think the JDM exhausts range from the mid $1000's range (Fujimura) to the upper $5000's range (Zele Performance). The average price is about somewhere in the mid $2000's range. Haha. It's pretty pricey if you ask me.

Scratch that! I'm saving up for that turbo system unless a deal comes through that I keep hearing about. If that happens then great but until then I need to find something a little cheaper.

Too many rich guys on this forum. Is there a poormans Z site?

Paint job? hell, I think he has the most expensive Z at this point, lol.

Moto, just put the dual HKS exhaust on mine. You can check it out Thursday. It's not absolutely necissary depending on your goal but you may want something with larger piping for a turbo set up. It tucks and is pretty mellow.

Wut? Man, JDM exhaust right up your alley, you already spent the equivalent of another Z on the car, might as well go all out!

I need to get an update on my exhaust too...

Wut deal lol...O_O

GForce I wanna hear that! I missed ilive2win's HKS install on his Z at the AMPLIFIED BBQ, so it'd be nice to hear it in person

This thread makes me wish I lived in Cali so I can see all these Z's!

Thanks man, look forward to seeing it on Thursday. Still working at Corporate all this week so the traffic is crazy but hopefully back to normal soon.

Catch you guys tomorrow night! Looking forward to hanging out. No bitching out!!!!

I think I've spent a total of $300 on my car to date but I may have misplaced a couple of receipts
