350z pulled on me actually. Its got 280 to the wheels and im currently misfiring on 4 cylinders, have a bad 02 sensor, and have no exhaust from rear axle and back

My maf is most likely all oiled up from my K&Ns I put in a while back

sad to say, but 350z's are actually quicker than 43's from 0-80. i did a rolling run against one a month back at 25mph, he smoked me 2 car lengths to 60. it's not surprising though, 6mt & 300lbs lighter? far less drivetrain loss they're real fun things to drive, and look even better when modded.

but then again, rolling start from 80 on is a different story.

When you say straight pipes, do you mean no resonator? no secondaries and no resonator or no cats at all and no resonator?

What about the reaction from the "men in blue"?? I would have serious problems if I did it in my part of the world... and the neighbours would HATE me for certain, despite a couple of Porkers, Lambos and GT-R's around here

idk how it is over in your part of town, but cops DGAF. Straightpipe isn't obnoxiously loud when you're light on the pedal, driving like a normal and sane citizen like everyone else. But it will grab attention if you floor it past them. obviously.

ive driven past several dozens of cops anywhere between 5mph to 55mph, accelerating, holding speed, you name it; i was even pulled over and ticketed 3 times since ive gotten the car; but they have never bothered me at all about the exhaust. at least not yet. *knock on wood*

agreed to the above. it's not too bad during daily driving. only when smashing on it does it really snarl.

I put my muffler back on, sry didn't get a chance to record a cold start but trust me, it sounded amazing


I also cleaned out my K&N filters. This together with my muffler back on made my car noticeably more responsive. Next im gona clean my maf coz my filters had quite a bit of oil in them
