Robothobo Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I blame you wonderful people on this forum for this;-) When I got my Zed I decided that I wasn't going to mod it, at all. After a stubby aerial I now have full on zeditis. The stubby was a gateway drug into the murky world of modding. However, here's my problem (one of many I'm sure). I can't make the Zed too much louder than it already is. Need to work on my wife for that one. I quite like the sound anyway. Due to this I'm ruling out intakes and exhausts, for the moment. So my question is, what other mods can I do the will feed my addiction and maybe get a little bit of better performance. It's an HR so no plenum spacer required I guess. I'm thinking an Uprev for sure but would that on its own do anything worthwhile? Am I dreaming or should I man up and just get another exhaust;-) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 you should man up and get a new exhaust If you going to get an uprev then you should have any intakes/zorst on the car before to get maximum gains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 pads, discs, braided lines, all things that you can tell need replacing due to wear some of it is about stopping as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You'd get away with the intake buddy, You only notice it under full load, and even then it's not going to wake up the dead Same with exhaust - Mines nice and subtle when it needs to be, and when you open up the throttle, thats when it wakes the dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Just dont tell her you've changed the exhaust and if she questions it just say it must be blowing 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Get some carbon bonnet dampers. They increase the performance of the bonnet opening but make no difference to the sound of your Zed at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delz0r Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Go for a nice panel air filter like the HKS Super Hybrid. It might help suppress your zeditis for a bit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bems Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) My takeda dual ram intakes came with the car ;) I went for berks HFC's as I told the wife I wouldn't touch this one. She can't see them and she doesn't notice the difference. She may when I get the new exhaust tho but its a must do mod!

Briggsybriggs1 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Haha I like it that you are scared off your wife/GF just tell her your exhaust is blowing and needs replacing ASAP or you might get a ticket buy the pigs for nose pollution simple :-). And just don't tell her about the intake cos birds never look under the hood ... There you go some lies ready made for you. Or as every one is saying MAN UP lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
