Hi guys. I just purchased my 2014 PW 370z base 7AT sport package on June 9th 2014 and loving the car. I'll post some pics on a later date. So far I have tinted my windows 20% all around except the windshield and a stillen G3 CAI. Thank you for the DIY threads I was able to install myself. I also purchased a FI CBE with 12" res and I'm currently on a waiting list

BTW any other suggestions on HP upgrades I should do. keep note that I live in CA and want to keep it legal and dont want to supercharge or turbo the car at this time.

Can you do HFC's in CA and pass smog testing? Not sure on a UpRev tune either but that might not be legal in CA. I put on a Stillen lightweight pulley and throttle response was noticeably improved. You might consider that. Biten by the mod bug like most of us. I like it! Congrats and welcome!!

Welcome and congrats on the Z!

In Cali, LTH, HFC, TP etc. are all illegal and will not pass emissions. So for added HP maybe a lightweight pulley and a tune.

Long tube headers (LTH), high flow catalytic converter (HFC), test pipes (TP). Anything that alters the engine's emissions is illegal in CA. That essentially limits you to a CAI and a CBE, and maybe a new manifold (although it' s debatable if this will help absent new headers).
