maybe something will come in the mail for me

 

Aren't the headers the real cause for the lack of low-end torque? A buddy put headers on his Z and the lack of low-end torque was very obvious. Or is the Stillen so free flowing that it takes away some bottom-end all on it's own?

 

I believe the issue is that these aftermarket exhausts don't have the variable valve that opens & closes depending on the pressure (OEM muffler has this), so low end torque is sacrificed a bit w/ the HKS & the like. I'm 90% sure that is correct....

 

just wanted to update... gf came down for the weekend and we did a bit of driving around. at first she didn't say anything about the car. after a couple of starts she noticed it was a bit louder and when she saw a cop, she told me to take it easy on the gas so i wouldn't make too much noise and draw attn. overall she thought it was louder but not too loud... thumbs up

 

Looks Sweet, Dumb Question ....Where to purchase, I didn't see it on the HKS Site?? And What is the Extra Bracket From Infiniti?

 

I got mine thru cardomain.com.

 

I don't see it for an 05 Sedan at Cardomain

 

Also, for a while, Chad@Infinitispecialists (forum member) was selling them for a good price.....

 

pm username WorldOne on this forum... they're a sponsor here and hooked me up with a great deal

 

for some reason, they haven't gotten back to me yet.

 

contact info @ worldoneperformance.com ... ask for jason

There has been a Vendor thread on this exhaust for a week or so now. You can check it out. I can't offer the same price as I did absoluteg but I can get these instock with no issues.

when you 05-06 guys installed the exhaust bracket, did u guys remove the metal shield above the stock muffler?

 

WHY would you do that? It's a heat shield and is there for a reason. Stock exhaust or aftermarket doesn't matter. It should not be removed.
