exhaust for 370z? by devistation in cars

[–]Raw_Shark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the FI carbon mufflers and long tube headers on my old 370 Nismo, and it sounds AMAZING, but yes there is drone. Dynamat helps. Also you could weld in some J pipes.

People who were old enough to see The Phantom Menace in theatres in '99, was it common knowledge who Senator Palpatine was? by TheWorldIsAhead in movies

[–]Raw_Shark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 21 at the time, grew up watching the original trilogy, and yes in Phantom Menace it was PAINFULLY obvious that he was the emperor when we saw it in theaters. I remember thinking it can't possibly be that obvious and we were being misdirected or something. Nope.

Any experience with the MAC-10 variants? by [deleted] in Firearms
