The best of the "tuner" guys actually do make the cars faster, they just
have questionable (IMHO) taste.

I do recall when the 350Z first came out I picked up one of the better
ricer magazines to flip through it, and they had an aftermarket exhaust
manufacturer try to make a better exhaust for the car, they gained like
1 HP or something silly like that by the time they were all done. So a
350Z really does take effort to actually make better, but that doesnt'
stop people from trying.
