| feel the responsiveness on 2.5" breather Z's is very lacking" No one has ever complained about that, ever. Find me one SINGLE post of a breather Z that has this complaint. The piping may very well be shorter, but that doesn't mean it is going to deliver a tangible difference in driving. This is a vanity project pure and simple. Why not just own it? "I like FMIC's always liked them, think they make the car look cool, but I wanted to do them right and not put ebay chinese crap on the car, and the TDM kit requires too many sacrifices for my liking, so I went with this." I could respect that. I do respect that. But this masquerade, sorry, calling BS. Makes ZERO sense in any measure for a street car. Try to imagine that teams of japanese engineers actually hashed out this and hundreds of other core design questions and are at least as smart as anyone here....and had testing facilities, testing instruments, testing team, and a budget to pay for it all...oh and they got PAID just to do this. Wow what morons, some guy from Jersey figured out that the opposite design choice was a better way, in his spare time!
Alan, it's a nice project, it honestly is...you appear to be doing a good, proper job like most TTnetters would, but you are simply throwing money away if this is for performance purposes. Intake piping length is so far down the "problem list" you might as well be polishing the inside of the entire exhaust piping tract or purchasing a $10K titanium catback exhaust handcrafted by Jesus and Gandhi for all the good it will do you.
