August 2015 - First day I got the TopSpeed Y-Back Exhaust Installed. Overall good exhaust for the price but the drone got annoying for daily driving. Ultimately I ended up back to stock exhaust with a coupe midpipe.

Before Installation:

Overall look of the engine with a little surprise I found when I finally opened up the engine cover .

Teaser for whats coming

 

looks good so far! hows the ride quality on your BCs?

 

Ride quality isn't that bad at all lol. On full stiffness it is really tight around the corners and is a rough ride but that is to be expected lol. But right in the middle it isn't bad at all and isn't too boaty. Overall good ride quality and keeps the overall car tighter around the corners.

 

Some more updates!

Did you end up doing front/rear camber arms & links after going to the BC Coils, or was the camber not all that bad on the X? Have one of my own that I'm thinking of dropping soon, but live in Minneapolis, so I'm hesitant to with these awful roads.

 

All you need is the rear if you are not going too low. You just gotta be careful driving around town really. Other than that, the camber isn't too bad.

 

Finally have some updated photos on the car. I chose a different path from the 2014 370z Sport Wheels and went to the 2013-2014 G37/Q60 Wheels. It is a staggered setup but as of right now I have no issues with the AWD system and I am planning on changing the front tires soon anyways. But, overall it is looking MUCH better with these wheels. Much more to come though but happy with the slow, but steady progress on the sedan.
