z tubes?

i see the factory one which is ABS plastic..whats the difference if any with the chrome or polished versions?isn't it better to get the plastic for heat dissipation and the others for looks?

The differences in performance are negligable. It really comes down to whatever floats your boat.

They're all the same. Except the CF one adds 26hp... just because CF is cool.
