I have been hearing from auction goers that the Z06's are now going for like $35,000 !!!

Fitment is like OEM. So far trav or I haven't really pushed them hard. They don't squeal or squeek. Not sure how much they dust yet.

Also Turbo XS sucks. Their 3" downpipe hits your oil pan, transfer case (this is the evo 9 model mind you) and is 1/2" short to bolt up to the catback. Turbo XS blows, they suck big dick, **** *** **********ing loosers.

fyi Invidia downpipe fits the ix like a glove. only thing i had to do was shim the cross brace with 3 washers.

not the first time a shim has helped me out.

F7ck it. If you want something done right do it yourself. I'm not spending another dime for some chinese slant eyed ****** f8cker to bend me up a downpipe all the while hating my country and what I stand for. I'll take the O2 inlet and outlet flanges, cut them off, and make my own fu3king downpipe the right way with my own hands, a welder, and a 6 pack of beer.

So far so good.....wont know more till I start using them harder. Install wasn't to bad, found out after pulling the rear rotor off my e-brake assembly was broke. After bending some parts back into the right shape and comparing to how the other side was assembled I got it back together - it was like a big puzzle.

As far as putting the pads in - first caliper was a learning curve and after that each one got easier...

All in all not a bad job - glad i only have to do it about every 40k miles.

Wait was this before or after the downpipe was used as a bat as it bent the leg on your work bench...or was it when the dp flew across your garage slamming of the wall? or.......was it when you said "I dont even want to see it f-ing laying in my garage, p.o.s.!!" and heaved it across your yard??

haha thought it would be like anything else from the dealer. My 2 down pipe bolts with 2 nutts were $22.00 my fuse block on the positive terminal was $15 soo i kind of figured the wires would be like $60+ bucks for stock wires.

haha i almost just paid some dude $30 for used ones
