MALCHEMY,
You can always go to http://ststurbo.com/ and check them out.

FI'ed... Hey what's going on bud! Glad to hear you're running trouble free. I remember reading about a guy that had an idle issue on my350 who was able to resolve it with a quick fix. What kind of maitenance schedule do you have to follow to make sure everything is running properly with the system?
As for me, my main concerns would be reliability and daily drive ability. The bottom line is, I'm really liking this setup due to the benefits you've already laid out beforehand. In a few clips I noticed one guy has an exhaust much louder than everyone else.
I guess that's cool for him but for me I'd like to keep it maybe a tad louder than stock unless I really get on it. Do you know anything about the ability to add an additional resonator on the exhaust and any I'll effects of doing so?
Also, how loud does your exhaust get if you're just cruising around before boost? (in vacuum) Thanks in advance

The only maintenance I have done were changed my spark plugs twice (I change mine every year), cleaned my Air Filter which I also do once a year and the usual regular oil change every 2750 miles. I also send my oil to BlackStone for analysis and so far the result has been fantastic.
I have a Test Pipes so mine is a little loud for my taste If you are concern about the loudness then I strongly recommend getting a metallic HFC. I did decent power when I had my stock cat but the throttle response is much better with the TP. Post up on the STS thread in MY350Z if you want more concern.

I think the guy Cmytailights is also running test pipes as well. I couldn't tell if the other guy Daniel (with Red Z) was running test pipes or stock cats on his ride especially at the end of his flyby video when he pulls up at and you hear his exhaust up close.
Thanks for the heads up! I'll post some more questions/points on my350 and gather some more data from the Z guys over there.
Thanks guys for this thread over here. Very informative BTW

Oh wow! Can you explain how the honeycomb from the HFCs would get sucked into the turbo? Is it sucking air in from the exhaust pipe as well? How durable is that stuff? How would the stock cats hold up? I'm trying to avoid test pipes because I'm concerned about passing emissions tests here in Illinois.
That plus the fact I don't want my car to have the test pipe smell thing going on. That definitely attracts the cops around here and for me that's a no no

/\ This is why you have to get at least a steel HFC or any HFC that can handle high powered boosted car. Goosegoose blew his HFC but I think he was just running a ceramic HFC, and he was also boosting 14+psi. His turbo was still fine even after blowing his cat because his mid pipe muffler pretty much filtered most of the debris.. PM boozt in my350z coz he's running an all steel HFC and he track his car regularly.
Some vendors recommend changed the spark plugs every 10K miles so that is pretty much once a year for me. Spark Plugs is cheap and I just didnt want to take a chance.
