Whenever a cop pulls behind, I'm glad I stayed stock. Whenever I drive by a graveyard and there's visitors I'm also glad.

It really seems like my stock car has gotten a little louder over time. And on occasion, a little rumbly too. I like the stock exhaust setup and think that people who think it sounds weak didn't spend enough time with it.

Got pulled over last weekend...Have Invidia n1 catback. He pulled me over and said that I was speeding and I asked how fast he had me going... he just looked at me and said "over 60." Fair enough... the mph in that area is 60. I was probably doing 67-69 like I did for the previous 4 hours on cruise control passing various state cops. He admitted that he did not clock me. Walked back checked my stuff and came back to the car. Gave me a warning and said man that sounds good but it draws a ton of attention to you..... I sorta chuckled and said I'll work on changing the sound.

My commute is usually 80+ mphy, freeway speed is 75 so cops aren't gona shrug if you do mid 80s. If you don't you might get ran over. I really have seen no problem with this car stock, for what I bought it for; a daily driver. I can pass when I want to, it zigs thru traffic pretty quickly and its pretty hot looking.

I was gona drop money on a buncha mods but some plans have changed, I'll drive it a few years and go back to high horse power. We'd planned on getting a Vette but like i said plans have changed. We want to focus our attention to buying a fixer upper beach house, so we can rent it out and ultimately retire there. I'll probably step up to a Z, or maybe go back to a GT I dunno, although a Z is more in tune with this car than a GT

@"Ginger Academy" All it took for me was to drive by a female cop, then I count my luck that I haven't modded a louder exhaust. Though I still have to think far, far back and try to remember if I had wronged anybody or sinned, and if I had truly been good then I don't have anything to worry about.

I had 350z so naturally I was looking at 370z. If you visit their forum, lot of them jumped ship to gt. About same price for higher hp

I loved my stock 1, but honestly... After a few mods the absolute best thing you can do is headers + tune.
Noise is subjective, but the disappearance of that torque dip makes it so much better every day. It's a smudge faster too, but nothing that'll blow your mind.
Really worth it and I'm glad every day that I finally did that after 3 years of driving it.

Team voodoo gear knob and that's probably it.

Appreciate the work that goes into modding cars and bikes. I don't have the time, talent or inclination.

If I felt I had to alter it too much I've probably bought the wrong car.

When I first bought this car.. Did I think I would have owned two within 7 months? No. But I did. And I supercharged them both.. !
