Nice be sure to post up some videos when you get a moment. Would love to hear your system as is since that is basically exactly what i plan on doing whenever i get around to be able to afford the headers

My buddy had them on his gt. I personally really love them. A really great balance of performance and treadware.

That's what most of the reviews that i read have said. Some negative ones saying they are loud but your always going to have some negative reviews on a product that is mass produced no matter what. Since I am looking at getting ZL1 replicas and they offer the Nittos as a package i was thinking of getting those instead of just buying a new set of Pzeros. It would save me some money too since the Nittos are about 1900 mounted and balanced.

Honestly no. I kind of just threw them off because a few of the first searches on Google came up as negative and because i have never heard of the brand.

Everyone on here who has them has nothing but praise for them. But I'd definitely look more into them

I will keep them in mind. I want something that can grab pretty well in a turn and hook pretty well from a fast start but at the same time not wear out very quickly and is not all over the place in the rain. The P-zeros have been alright but honestly could be a little better. They don't hook very well from a quick start and they suck in the rain.

But honestly it will be about at least another year till I can afford new tires and rims. My current P-zeros have only 5500 miles and just about 4 years on them. I really don't want to mount them on new rims when i will just need to buy new tires in a year.

Edit: Just did a little quick research on them and they do seem to be a good tire. Will definitely keep them in mind now since they are a package that Factory Reproductions offers. Thanks LScamaro

Will do promise Right now I am so physically exhausted haha. I wonder if I have the record for longest amount of time it takes to install headers.

It does feel great knowing I did it myself and the sound is so amazing.

Good luck over seas and thank you for your service!





I wanna give a huge shout out to Wuiquen and especially Lil'Nasty helping me and giving me advice and thank you to everyone else for all the moral support haha.

Yea. I'm looking at doing the rims within a year and a half from now. That gives me time to save up and wear out the P-zeros some. But this is assuming all goes well and I do get a job soon. If I don't get highered I can kiss my new rims and tires goodby
