Garage sale thread???

Imo, i would suggest against the z-tube as the bellows that attaches it to the maf and throttle body are the flow restrictions and they remain. You may get a small amount of induction sound with it though.
I would go with the Samco induuction hose. Flows as well as possible, resists heat transfer and the black looks clost to stock.

I saw those in the vendor area but was really diswayed by the increase in price. At my guess, ~50 bucks for the Z-Tube, is the Samco piece really...$80-90 worth of performance, where the likely increase is <5hp? Tough call I guess, considering the Z-tube is a 0hp gain . But at such low numbers, the difference is meaningless in terms of feel.
Z-Tube was mainly for sound. I don't mind the exhaust system as is but a bit louder would be nice. ART pipes would be the next upgrade for the intake/exhaust stream, then later an exhaust - likely Nismo or HKS from the clips I've seen
The moditis is growing again but I feel like I should have learned my lesson from the past. But damn, group buy on that strafe CF trunk lid was tempting haha.

As far as sound goes, the Z-tube or similar is probably best. I think the samco hose mght absorb some resonance and eat sound.
Imo, you should look at suspension before anything else. I just think cars seem a bit funny with obvious upgrades before a "proper" stance is sorted.

Have you come to a consensus on the winters Keith?

But for now, sways will have to do.
