Cool Test drive feeback from NTB tech

I ordered a new set of Sumitomo HTRZII tires from Tire Rack and had them installed at NTB. After the wheels were installed, the NTB tech test drove my car said it felt and sounded very close to a 350Z. I found that interesting, but I've never driven a 350Z to compare.

Anyway, I found it interesting and wanted to share.......

A tire is a tire, it will make the same noise if it is mounted on a 350z or mustang.

I pretty sure he was referring to my Pypes Streetpro single exhaust.

For the most part the Pypes chambered actual mufflers sound like a 350z either single or dual which is why I went with the pype bombs which is essentially a delete.


Straight 350z

Bingo. I knew that Pypes would rear their ugly head here.

Try a GT take-off and you will never go back to the Pypes.
And then another Pypes axle-back will find its way to eBay...
