My Z had its first pair of hands up under the dress for its first oil change. Free of course.

I can't believe your Z is that easy - I usually have to flog mine a bit before she let's me down there

MUST. GET. F.I. EXHAUST. NOW. Crap! I just bought a sofa for my new place.

I honestly didn't do anything with the Z today. Hope to wash it after my run. We'll see how that goes.

I think you will be fine with that. I have 12" res hi flow cats and 12" res cbe, yes there is drone in 6th from 45-80 once you get to 80 it goes silent

yours should be much more mellow then mine. mine is not a daily driver so I can make it "race car" because Race Car"!

No drone in cabin if going with the 18" resonator, thats specifically why I went with that over 12", Cf mufflers through...lets a bit more sound through than the Stainless Steel but I think its the perfect balance.

The Fast Intentions in tunnels is just epic, I notice people rolling there windows down and love seeing there reactions when I downshift, echoes throughout the tunnel.

Good to hear. Are you running stock cats?

Mines not a DD either but for the time being the Z is more a GT car than race car for me. That and I think I'm over loud/droning exhausts.......god I sound old...

The 18" still has a bit of drone if your crusing on the highway, but it's not that intrusive.

Raced my brother in his 2001 M5...and lost :/ we didn't go from a stop, which we suspect the Z would win. Went from mid 2nd gear pull up to about 4th and he was about a car length ahead.
All stock Z and all stock M5 (v8 model) if anyone was curious.
