Axel back options ?

SINISTER · 02-02-2017, 08:38 AM

So I used to own a G37 and there were plenty of Axel back options. I purchased a Tanabe and it sounded great...

I notice that there is not allot of options for the Z.

I am also reading that they all fit horribly. (sticking out too far, not level etc.)

Is there any good options with the axel back? Or are the only ones that fit well cat back?

THANKS!

I guess the response to my question, is as representative as the options available..

Most I have read fit horribly ( this is hidden deep within threads) why no one focuses on the poor fitment....this I dont know...but all the Tanabe rip offs like Top Speed and beluga stick out and look like azz...and some of the other options sound worse than the OEM exhaust...Plus along the way I realized that the CBE is the favored exahust but for the price, lack of HP gains and newly acquired drone... definitely not worth 1k....

I think that sums it up...unless someone has some options I missed...or can enlighten me ...

The topspeed definitely looks awful; the tips stick out way to far. As far as I can tell, the AAM short tails is fine. The tips are not attached so you can adjust them however you want.

I will be getting the short tails unless I decide to go to a show and just do a muffler delete.

That's because Top Speed are made for Nismos only and look great as they fit under the spoiler very well, but your right, they do look horrible when they stick out like that on any other non Nismo Z.

Ahh I see; Yeah that looks perfectly fine with the nismo rear.

They look exactly like Tanabe....any difference other then the fact that Tanabe steals about 400 more of your dollars?!
