ProsThe Invidia exhaust is a very nice piece with robotic TIG-welding utilized throughout the system. The dual canister also portrays a nice touch to the rear fascia. Exhaust note on the system is awesome, giving the Z a nice deep growl.

Part includesDual muffler canister, Y-pipe, silencer section, gaskets and hardware.

ConsIf you plan on still using the factory exhaust in the future, the installation is a two man job since the factory exhaust is fairly heavy. The entire exhaust system can be removed as a complete piece but you will likely need a vehicle lift to perform the job.tools required for installation12- and 14mm wrench, 12- and 14mm socket, 6-inch extension and ratchet

Dyno NotesUse WD-40 when removing any nuts and bolts to prevent stripping. Also spray the hangers for easier removal. Oh yeah, and if you like to keep all your hairs on your arms and don't like the smell of burnt flesh, make sure the vehicle has properly cooled down.

ConclusionWhen it comes to bang-for-the-buck, it's hard to match the 350Z. For under $30 grand, the 350Z comes equipped with a potent 287 hp V6 engine, which loves to be revved. Combined that with the factory close-ratio, six-speed transmission and you can get yourself into trouble with the law awfully quick. And with the money you saved with such a bargain sports car, there is more room to spend on performance goodies to make it even faster.
