Alright Wow i finally hit 30! took me what 2 days ? Haha , I wasent making useally spam eather , I am proud. Alright heres my questions .

Im getting a full exaust for this place tommarow http://sites.managerslogin.com/folde...owse&pageid=34
And i was wondering if it really is worth it , Right now my max sounds like this and i really dont like it i think its annoying... And im guessing the exaust is cracked some where , And air is leaking around The front seats in the middle.
The total cost is 350 Thats for all the piping , A muff of any of those showed on that picture in the link i showed you on the 75 price range i really dont like them , Im thinking of going with one of the 99 dollar ones , What do you think my car will sound like with one of them? Its 300 for The coust eexaust with muff , And then a Cat iinstallation on top of that costs 50 if you bring your own , So i just bought a 59 dollar univers at advance auto , I was looking around on the sites like magnaflow , And stuff that the coust shop gets there stuff from and its saying that i could see atleast a 15 hp gain but i dont know if thats with a highflow cat , Or what?????? If you have any sounds of your car that would really help me out , Aslong as you got an exaust , Coust , Originally , I was going to go with midas . But they wanted 600! , Right when the guy started jabbering on , About why he had to get a universal Cat , and that if i wanted the direct fit Cat that is on the car orig It would cost around 1k total for the full exaust so im guessing hes saying the orig cat costs 3-4 hundred witch i know thats a crock of bs. So i went right online found out the orig is like 70 bucks... I went to my local cost shop , SO what is your whole opinon on this? Heres the url to a couple vids of what my car sounds like now.

Right click on the one you want to see , And Save it as . you might need to download vlc player to play them.

And now im thinking about the whole RCAI " Real cold air intake " not just a adapter so i can add a cone filter to my stock maf.... I'm talking about getting the 300zx maf and ecu 1988 auto early model , But the only problem i cannot find a cold air intake the full intake with pipe and filter that will eather go down in the front or near the wheels.... What i keep on finding is this...

and i have no freaking clue if that goes in that little place where the top of the stock air box sticks into or what.....

I find post's on it in here but nothing relevent on how to do it....

Any Quality info would be very helpful , And once i get home tommarow around 4 pm i will take pictures and post sounds . Im taking it in at 9 am , And the guy that is doing it says it will take at most 4 hours So tommarow morning i will take pictures before they do it and after , Cant wait!

And if you see this before i leave at around 7:40 am .... Please post! I would love to see what you have to say about the Exaust!

Thanks.

i dont have quick time installed yet, i had to reinstall everything after windows took a crap earlier in the week

i can only say for any sort of cold air intake your gonna have to make your own out of an existing kit or out of your own materials, dont use dryer hose it'll melt, and you will need to get the MAF adaptor that you were talking about, other wise you wont be able to put a pipe or filter on the incomming side of the MAF. but yea the adaptors work, a viable part (unlike electric turbos), they arent just for putting filters in boxes(?)

I hope you like how your new exhaust sounds. Should be pretty good. As for the CAI, Niku-Sama's right, you'll have to make your own with some pipe and a filter.

If you need a TB, you might try the 60mm stanza/240 one carson has....or if E-dog has a 60mm from him. Might as well do the upgrade now.

Well i got , A full exaust , It sounds amazing It gave me back atleast 20 hp , And i ganed atleast 20 I swear , Because the Cat was filled up with crap , And air could not even flow thru , Next i found a k & n filter , For the 88 z , Im thinking that will be an almost direct fit. I still need the Maf , And ecu... Any one have on for sale?

[QUOTE= I want to get some nice breaks , Just dont know witch are best , Direct me please?[/QUOTE]



well you could to a 5 lug conversion and get some brakes from a 300zx 89-9x
or you could just redrill the rotors will be a direct swap knowing our the brakes are the same as the 240sx's

Where did you get that info? That isn't completely true. 5-lug conversion you can use 3g parts. From what I've found, the stuff will bolt up, but won't clear properly unless you mill the rotors in the front. You can use the rear Z31 brakes, but you might need a bracket. It's better to swap to 5-lug, do Jeff's Cobra BBK kit and Jeff's Z31 rear brake upgrade.

DJ: Did you replace the entire exhaust? It's much raspy for my liking personally. I need to post the sound clips of my exhaust. It's much more mellow, but a bit deeper. I also need to find the movie of my intake.

so the rear z31 bracket just sets the caliper out further so its not trying to eat through it right?

just a swap? or is there more than just a bracket and rotor to slap on

The welds.
The welds are a bit thick like you didn't get good penetration? If it breaks you can just weld it again.

Partly for clearance, partly to give the caliper more leverage.
