Yeah, showing me shiny pics of awesome looking resonated pipes is a sure way to get me to NOT buy them. Jerk

haha.

I want more of a racecar sound at WOT. Like that 350 with the longtube headers... now that would be fun.

YouTube - SG-Motorsport Longtubes

Holyyyyyyy shiiiiiiiiiiit...Someone go to the intake/exhaust section and tell them to make an exhaust system just like that...ASAP!

30whp gains on a 350Z not bad at all!

RCZ · 07-27-2009, 12:54 PM

Hell yeah, where do I sign?

RCZ · 07-27-2009, 01:11 PM

Its not going to happen unless you ask for a custom job though because its not at all cost effective for the makers of it. With that much noise you're going to sell like...3. One to me, one to Danny and the other one to Mr-I'm-building-a-racecar Travis.

FuszNissan · 08-31-2009, 11:49 AM

Looks very nice!

SAllen0400 · 08-31-2009, 12:51 PM

Looks great Danny. Very tastefully done.

semtex · 08-31-2009, 01:03 PM

That looks sweet!!!!

LiquidZ · 08-31-2009, 02:59 PM

Great job!

boosted180 · 08-31-2009, 03:32 PM

you did the black out fangs in gloss black? (looks like it in the pictures). i like it! most people do it in a matt black.

DannyGT · 08-31-2009, 03:47 PM

Well, its not glossy black...How it was explained to me is matte/satin are alot closer to each other than say 'flat'. Most people seem to just be doing a 'flat'

After awhile a 'flat' black would get chalkboard like and really dry looking. So we removing the bumper and sprayed the entire mouth (fangs, fins, license plate holder area) in a matte/satin black which has a low gloss to it. That picture has some reflections to it which really give it a big gloss finish but its not...take a look below.

Whats cool about a satin black is that it tricks you because its almost like in certain lights a silver ( or PG

) wants to pop from underneath it. Which happens to come off looking badass on my car.

looks perfect - much better than flat black. what kind of paint did you use/ where did you get it?
