After extensively testing hundreds of Zs and Gs with a wide variety of intake and exhaust combinations, I decided to do a test with a customer's 2016 Nismo 370Z. This car was bone stock, and I wanted to see how much power could be gained with the simplest, yet most effective bolt ons I have gathered based on my previous experience.
- Z1 headers & test pipes
- AdminTuning intakes
- GReddy RS dual catback exhaust
Bone stock, the car made 282whp.
Installing headers, test pipes and exhaust (no tune) brought it up to 304whp. (+22whp gain).
Swapping intakes & tuning the car afterwards increased the power up to 326whp. ( +22whp gain).
A total of 44whp gain (50+ crank horsepower) and 19wtq gain with 4 bolt ons, stock throttle bodies, no porting manifolds, no E85. This is a substantial gain while maintaining the complete factory driveability and functionality of the car on 93 octane fuel.
