nice! are you going to go straight to uprev and get dyno tuned with osiris and all that? if so lemme know how it goes and how much it costs, i plan on doing the same

 

SMarinoZR has FI on his Z - the sound will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. It is sweee-eet.

 

Without a doubt! I don't mean to downplay this setup it's just that I'm at a loss for words for it. Don't get me wrong, it's gorgeous. I wouldn't change it for anything now.

It's just that it's never enough... now I want headers really badly so I have the absolute complete exhaust. Need to decide before I go to UpRev.

FI exhaust is quite simply perfect.

Looking into these headers, recommended by the guys a JoTech:

If the bolts are that hard to get off, just use an angle grinder with a cutting wheel on it and chop off the heads. You'll have the heads cut off in about 10 seconds per bolt, and then just take a nail and a hammer and use it to push the bolts through(by putting the base of the nail on the bolt, and hitting the head with the hammer to force it out the other side). Works great... I've done it on just about every vehicle I've ever replaced an exhaust on and it's infinitely easier than fussing around with frozen and rusty old bolts.

Make sure you put some sort of high-temp capable never-seze on the bolts when you put the new ones on so that you have a decent chance of getting them off when/if you ever need to remove the system from the car.

 

lekker,
is it possible if you can post pics of the rear shooting on the bottom so we can see how gorgeous your exhaust is

 

not sure if i understand exactly what you're asking, but I'm gonna take pics tomorrow, i'll get some good angles.

 

congrat.
one of best exhaust system for G's.

 

just wanna see the underside of the car w/ your exhaust. wanna see the layout

 

10 seconds!!! My cutoff wheel must be a complete POS! Took me about 5 minutes. I thought I was going to get my cats and Y pipe out without any problems but of course, the last bolt was siezed and I rounded off the head. +1 on the anti-sieze, I used that on all replaced bolts.

 

You might be using a different kind of wheel than me. I bought those ones at sears that are fairly disposable. They work wonders when new though. I usually use one cutting wheel up completely in the process of cutting the bolts off the exhaust, and then also cutting the old metal hanger clips off so I can more easily remove the thing. It literally takes about 10 seconds if you have a halfway decent grinder(mine's a 7.5 amp, 11,000 RPM grinder).
