Thanks Brad. I had never heard of Ironman tires either. They were on the car when I purchased it pre-owned from a local NISSAN dealership. The model is iMove Gen 2 and they're sized 225/50ZR18 in both front and rear. I've only put about 3K miles on them, but they've seen a lot of spirited driving in that time - including two separate nights at the drag strip. In my research, they're a more economically-priced tire, but they have good reviews and I have no complaints thus far.
I picked up a Nismo 370z H-pipe from a 2016 that had 13K miles on it last week for $50 and had it installed this weekend. I had my sedan's mid pipe cut from just before the resonators and two new pipes installed with flanges so I can remove the H-pipe and mid pipe in pieces if I need to, that and it makes it look more like stock. Cost $150 for the install and pipe work.
Nismo 370z H-pipe from a 2016 370z with 13k miles on it. Original sedan Y-pipe setup Nismo 370z H-pipe connected with original mid pipe, the H-pipe is slightly shorter than the original Y-pipe Nismo 370z H-pipe with modified sedan mid pipe
Nice! Any noticeable differences with the new setup?
Finished up my Eibach Pro-Kit install. I've done about five drops on Hondas and Acuras myself, as well as suspension lifts on two 4Runners. I consider myself to be pretty handy, mechanically speaking. This job kicked my ***. Neither my Harbor Freight spring compressor tool nor the rental from AutoZone could get me enough bite on the Eibachs to compress them far enough for re-assembly. I conceded and took it to a local shop. $10/each assembly + $5 tip. This was just one of many roadblocks today - including broken tools, bumps and bruises (ever hit your head on an A-arm?), and just time-consuming, sweat equity in the AZ heat. Jimminy... /rant.
And FWIW, I'm glad you are still able to type after using those Harbor Freight compressors, those should be banned, extremely dangerous design that could do serious harm, or worse
I agree about the Harbor Freight (Pittsburgh Tools) spring compressor kit. Garbage. I chucked it in the side yard - along with other items ready for bulk trash pickup.
I'm waiting on a few more items to come in...
SPC rear camber kit (arms + toe bolts)
Z1 metal exhaust gaskets
Fast Intentions RHFCs
And still weighing the idea of H&R 20mm spacers front/rear.
I've missed that you have the Q300 paired with FI RHFC. What are your thoughts on the combo?
Any chance you have a sound clip? Is there a hiss?
Ah, sorry, I listed that in anticipation. Probably should say "pending" in parentheses. I ordered my RHFCs 7/6/17. They're supposed be here at the end of this month. Will definitely report back and provide plenty of video and sound clips

Lego, when I had the Q300, the hiss was apparent. No matter what exhaust you have, the more you open up the exhaust flow... You will hear the hiss. It's inevitable.

Thanks. I guess if I want louder and no hiss, I should just consider a different cat back.
