I would like to stay under 4k at this time and really don't want to touch the engine.

By significant I was thinking FI. To be clear what I tried to say is he was to spend all that money on those bolt on mods, might as well either go with FI or just cosmetic mods. Just my

Very good answers from our forum vets. I would choose post MAF tubes over Stillen Gen II's based only on price. The gains will be 95% the same. One thing that people had failed to mention that is documented in our http://www.the370z.com/tuning/55417-...ns-thread.html is tuning. If you replace your exhaust cats and intakes, it's a great idea to get it tuned.
If/when you start craving more power, might I suggest this? http://www.z1motorsports.com/g37_370...oducts_id=7223 I'll caution and say they don't work with the Motordyne ART pipes. They require VQ35DE TP's/HFC's/ART pipes.

4. Akrapovic Titanium Evolution Exhaust – seems a bit on the muted side, but excellent build? Listened to clips and sounds good. Anything else to suggest for a system?
Akrapovic is a good company I had one on my R1... But on our cars I think youll be more happy with Fast Intentions...

I was on the same boat with you on not touching the engine (I'm a very conservative person). But I've been thinking of getting a tune later down the line. If I remember correctly, aftermarket CAI will have our Z running a bit lean. *Someone please correct me if I'm wrong*
Is there a specific reason on why you wouldn't want your car getting a tune? Like others mentioned, CAI,HFC/TP, CBE, and a proper tune can easily put out 310+ whp. The stock avg dyno is around 280whp (on a good day) |

Btw, I'm sure you're big fan of Akrapovic judging by your enthusiasm in motorcycles. I rode dirt bikes my whole life and my brother races motorcycles all the time and I have vast knowledge in regards to Akrapovic exhaust in motorcycles. I know how good they are.
HOWEVER.......when it comes to 370z, I honestly believe that Akrapovic doesn't really reflect the potential they have on bikes. Looking at the Akrapovic exhaust you posted, it doesn't have whole lotta gains in power or in weight reduction. And Akrapovic exhaust was never popular/talked about in the 370z forum. |

That's good to know. I am sure I can search exhaust threads, but given what everyone has been suggesting, are there any other exhausts worth looking at?
I had been considering hks and mortordyne before... |
