Default New To CL Greetings From Seattle

Hello all, can't believe I didnt join sooner. Finally got time to do so! Proud owner of a 2008 Neiman Marcus #40 hasn't seen winter yet probably won't. Not much in the way of installed mods yet, just 50% tint not shown in the old pic below. I have yet to decide on an intake, seems people like the joe-z pipe and drop in toms/afe and others like the others takeda/injen/k&n (k&n cringe) soo hmm shoot me what you guys think thats all I can decipher from hours of reading! And once again nice to meet you all! Cheers from Seattle.

-Mike

To be installed late jan 2012:
PPE Headers (glaring at me in my room!)
Joe-Z Exhaust (laid out in garage)
Intake HELP!!!! Help me decide on an intake

welcome, nice looking F. Joe-Z would be a good intake option; very popular on the boards. i have one on my 350 and really like it, workmanship is top notch.

Welcome, good to see another Washington ISF car. I purchased mine a few months ago, great color choice Can't go wrong with the modifications you've selected, love my Joe Z exhaust!

It seems that a lot of people rave about the takeda intake system for this car. I have decided to keep it stock until someone develops a ram air type intake.

Happy New Year

whoa did u break into his car Tempest?

anyways, welcome and congrats... seems like you are all set with the engine mods... but you can't go wrong with any of them... seems just sound preference, if at all if you can hear it over the exhaust and headers... i like the 2nd stage intake growl, which can be retained with the Takeda from what i've read...

The rims always lures me first! You'll love the exhaust when it's finally installed! I paired the exhaust with the Joe Z intake, but it's your choice. I just didn't want to alter the look of the engine bay too much. Enjoy your NM F!

I also live near Seattle, and have the Joe z intake and exhaust paired with the ppe heqders. The sound that you are about to get is worse and more addicting then crack so enjoy.
