If I had to guess, maybe a 2-5lb lost in torque but similar gains in HP. Again, nothing official, just how it feels to me. As for drone, yes there is a lot from 3-4k. Good news is that under highway cruise, there isn't much as long as RPM stays under 3k. You can keep the exhaust quiet if you do your shifting below 2.5k. That being said, you won't want to do that with this exhaust.

If you hate, your neighbors, this exhaust is perfect for you. I actually use it to punish nosy neighbors and bad drivers. I give a nice downshift for the drivers that decide to drive 10 under. The exhaust is pretty painful under WOT right next to your ear. I've had a friend do it to me to test it out so I know people hear it. The other day I was downshifting coming up to a light. A group of girls walking nearby yet out a little scream because it was so loud, it scared them. I love it personally, but it isn't for everyone. It is probably one of the loudest (and very aggressive) exhausts that can be put on the car (Tunnels and parking decks are just fantastic).

Some of the performance nuts here hate on it because it doesn't really give great gains. Personally, I like sound over performance because I don't need any more tickets so it suits my needs quite well. Quality is top notch. Everything fit perfectly. I had to put some washers on one side to push the exhaust tip off the bumper, but this is pretty normal for many exhausts. Installation was easy and I was able to do it without a lift. If you want to order, contact Khoi with AAM. Shipping is free and FAST! PM me for any other questions or concerns.

The amount of happiness i endured while reading this paragraph (; THATS great to hear but damn that drone issue just pushed me back a bit

Go to the for sale forum and buy a used exhaust. Problem solved.

California Tint - Rosemead, CA

I got my tint done there for my Z and my old Altima. Good price and never had any problems.

brucelidat · 10-31-2013, 02:03 PM

I also agree that if you want someone who knows Zs and will take good care of your car who you can trust, go to Specialty Z. Seb is a good guy and knows his Zs.

Well on my COMPUTER and iPad, it is 3 nicely spaced paragraphs so no more hate!

*cough Kenchanshimoto*

But no problem OP. Just trying to give you an honest feel. The drone under WOT after 3k rpms makes conversation difficult. Just FYI but the sound is great!

You should consider Specialty Z in Chatsworth Specialty-Z, Nissan 300ZX Specialists, Nissan Z Specialists - Home

I haven't been there yet but, I've exchanged many emails and have had a few phone conversations with Sebastian. Everything I read about these guys says they're top notch and very well respected.

I'm having them install an FI exhaust, Stillen G3 c.a.i, H&R spacers & Swift spec-r springs. Just waiting for the exhaust to come in.

Solved...New Beluga Exhaust w/ Y pipe $499

Anyways....Welcome to the forum buddy!!!

brucelidat · 10-31-2013, 09:52 PM

If you know you are planning to do all the basic bolt-ons (exhaust, HFCs/TPs, CAI), I would recommend doing them all at once and getting just one tune. This will ave you the money of multiple tunes and will also net you enough power to feel, whereas smaller incremental gains might not be felt as much by the butt dyno. There's never traffic going up the 210 to Chatsworth from Pasadena, so Specialty Z is def the way to go.
