Good, cause I cant pass emissions here with those anyway more than likely haha.

Im VERY much looking forward to seeing a completed kit, and price...

But it's coming..

Hi, I'm fairly new at this, so please pardon me if my question sounds a bit noobish. With the upcoming direct injection on the G37 and the to-be-expected upgrade in the 370z some time in the future, how will that affect the sc kit?

On a turbo car you generally see exhaust piping around 3" diameter. This is a little too big on a supercharged application.

For example, we do not recommend running headers on our current supercharger configuration because the decreased backpressure causes the supercharger to drop one pound of boost.

but dropping boost doesn't necessarily mean you're losing power.........going from a stock header to a race header in my supercharged RSX did the exact same thing in dropping boost, but the blower/engine were more efficient with the improved breathing and I gained power........of course I'm sure an I4 and V6 work on diffrent basis of mechanics so everything I just said might be worthless in this case.

I do agree about going to big on the exhaust side, no point in going with an exhaust that's bigger than your header flange imo, b/c the "choke up" or hold up point is the collection of the header(lets suppose 2.5") so going bigger(3") won't reallly "free up" anything...........of course 3" downpipes to 3" exhaust are a diffrent story......
