SSC article on Borla exhaust
Anyone read the new issue of Sport Compact Car?
They did a flow-test on a Borla exhaust compared to the stock 350Z exhaust and found that it flowed much better.
Yet it made no hp gain.
Kinda weird, no? Seems to be the general case with these cars tho, intake/exhaust don't make much difference at all.

Typical when flow tests don't duplicate real world conditions.
Flow benches operate at room SAE temperature 60-70F, also they cannot duplicate the pulse nature of exhaust.
Best to just measure the back pressure at HP peak rpm and above at 1st O2 sensor on manifold.
Each 1" mercury column [back pressure] respresents a HP un delivered!......roughly.

I dont know what your talking about dude but the intake makes a night and day difference on the G. thats in my opinion.
