thanks for the video bud...luv the manual transmission..
its crazy how the v8 sc's sound to much like american muscle rather than japanese sound... my neighbour has an sc300 with some sort of exhaust mod that sounds so amazing.... i have an sc400 but don't want it to sound like american muscle.. afraid this v8 uz will most likely make it sound like american muscle... or am i wrong...?? : >

That is my old single setup without cats and an off brand exhaust, I have since put on a cat back Apexi N1 for a 240SX and now have two high flow cats. It sounds a whole lot different, but you have to understand it is a V8....a V8 is going to sound like a V8 even with alot of mods.

It won't pop flames anymore.......the new setup is more....date friendly. Which is one of the reasons I haven't chucked the heavy *** seats and installed race seats and harnesses like my last SC400. Girls complain about the most random stuff.
