Sh0velMan's Track Car Build

Which headers? And why would you put header mods on, only to have the restrictive Nismo exhaust when there are other [better] options out there? No hating, just honest questions.

Question 1: Can't tell you

Question 2: Two answers:

a) To prove the NISMO Exhaust is much better than most folks think
b) Baby steps, can't buy everything at once, only had the car since January.

1. Why not...? meanie.

2. Not saying it's not okay, just better is out there, and if I were going to spend my money, I'd only wanna do it once and be done with it.

(Unless yours is a nismo?)

hahahah

1.) Signed an NDA that says I can't tell until we have all the data finalized
2.) Oh, I didn't have to spend money on the NISMO exhaust. I see where you're coming from now. It was just a take-off from another Z.

Wanted to update on this as well, we tested a prototype "big single" exhaust that used a 2.5" > 3" Y-Pipe into a 3" magnaflow muffler and out. We lost bottom end torque and 2 top end HP as compared to the Nismo CBE.

Dunno what voodoo the NISMO Magicians are using, but it works...

We'll be testing some more solutions in the coming weeks and months, just thought you'd find this interesting.

UPDATE! 5/28/2012

Posted photo of everything that got pulled out of the car today... She feels a lot different minus another 100+ pounds of non-essential crap!

Going to confirm with the scales, but we should be damned close to <3000lbs curb weight.

Also posted a photo from our last event. Here's a very short video as well:
