Congrats and welcome. Cant help you with a tint shop as I am a little ways away from Passadena. As far as the short tails and a Y-pipe, are you looking for mainly sound? Or is performance a big factor for you as well?

critical 10-30-2013 06:41 PM

don't waste money on the short tails. i have a y-pipe for sale and would install it if you came down the encinitas.

Hi and welcome.

I'm pretty new here myself. That being said, if you're looking for an awesome tuner shop.

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.

Get a full exhaust system

Hey there well unfortunately I cant afford a lot of these mods I want at the moment, full time college plus only minimal hours at work that being said I wanted something not too cheap but also that sounds nice.. also heard you get some ok gains from the Y pipe I would love to get a full exhaust but my budget is around 4-5 bills and im PUSHING IT lol

If you want sound only, yes short tails is the way to go. Prepare for some unhappy neighbors though! It is loud! :vuvuzela:

Yes, there is a very slight loss in torque in the low RPMs but I feel like it's a little quicker in the high RPMs. This is according to the butt-dyno of course. 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. :tup:

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. :tiphat:
