you can do it for sound, but not fuel efficiency. Most likely, you may see a DROP in mileage when you decrease the backpressure of the exhaust. Replies to this message: rayfl502 (Jul 18, 2006 9:36 am) qbrozen (Jul 18, 2006 10:12 am)

Replying to: qbrozen (Jul 18, 2006 5:22 am) Thanks for the info,                      I do not drive this car hard at all, well not alot the first week anyway. When you say a mileage drop are we talking more thank a mile or two per gallon? And do you think that it is worth it to add these products to the car? Should I just go with the K&N for the slight mileage boost and forget the Borla ehhaust?                              Thanks.                              Mike in Fl.

Replying to: rayfl502 (Jul 18, 2006 9:36 am) you may not see any drop at all, so maybe 1 mpg, if that.   Even just the K&N won't improve mileage. Nothing measurable, anyway.   Frankly, all the tests I've read of K&N have turned me away from their products. Good old paper filter for me.   From my research while I owned my Z (which was a little while ago now, so maybe its changed ... maybe not) is that the popcharger is the best buy for an intake (JWT was the manufacturer, I believe). Actual dyno comparisons have shown about a 5 hp increase. This will also change the sound. So I'd try that first, see how you like it, and, if its not enough, then look into an exhaust.

I just became a member and am seriously considering purchasing a 350z most likely and 03/04 depending on the milage and price ( I live in Canada).. 1)Whats an enthusiast package? still get the 18' wheels?..   2) the roadster that a convertable?   3) any major problems or common problems with these years?

Replying to: cdn_24 (Jul 25, 2006 8:45 pm) 1) look at Nissan website for explanation of all the packages. 18" wheels are an option, not standard with any line except Track.   Enthusiast is one step up from base. Has cloth seats standard. Can come with either automatic or manual transmission.   2) Roadster, technically, is a two-seat open top car. Convertible is a four-seater. So the 350Z open-top car is a roadster, not a convertible, technically speaking. In practice, people refer to it both ways.   3) the '03's had a lot of problems, the most common was the tire feathering/alignment issue. Given a choice, the '04 is probably a better buy.

Replying to: cdn_24 (Jul 26, 2006 7:07 am) I had the 04 touring which had the alignment problem also. Three sets of tires at 20,000. So you might think about the 05 or 06
