Message on Mixman's Z and mine within a couple weeks of each other.

Notes: The CZP pipes came wrapped in saran wrap that bonded to the powdercoat. Removal is impossible. Looks like poo. AshSPEC pipes were bubble wrapped... they unpacked with no problems.

CZP fitment under the headlights was a nightmare. Flanges didn't line up. Had to lever up on the sheet metal to get the piping into place. Scratched the hell out of the piping installing it.

AshSPEC piping fit perfectly. Flanges lined up. Turbo inlet pieces slid into place under the headlights with minimal effort.

Rest of the install was similar for both sets, no other major problems.

Shame about the saran wrap, but that is typical of Chinese shipped stuff, they use saran wrap, although it doesn't protect anything. Have to get them re-coated, as the saran wrap is now integrated into the existing powdercoat.

Regards,

My Zs are hybrid vehicles, they run on gasoline and money

I'm off to wax mine and go for a drive now.

I was more wondering how you set your climate control to 22*
