Low budget exhaust!!
Does anyone have any sound clips of some Off brand exhaust systems? Doing the exhaust on a very tight budget and need to find one that sounds good but performs decent as well. Any suggestions guys?

Go to a local shop and have them replicate the short tail exhaust that's sold for the Z.. I had a friend get it done for about $150 and it sounds great. Look up 370z short tails. Otherwise I'd say just stalk the forum for a killer deal on a full exhaust system.

I think Invidia runs $5-600 if I'm not mistaken, or just keep your eyes peeled for something used in the classified. I've seen some crazy deals going on every now and then. Like the one time I picked up a full Berk catback for $300!

I will have a set of custom-made "short tails" for sale next week or so. I bought a DC Sport single-canister which will be installed sometime this week, replacing the "short tails". Eventually, I'll create a short review once I've gotten some miles and experience with it. So far, it's the cheapest major-branded exhaust yet. If you're interested in the "short tails", send me a PM.

this reminds me of the people who buy a Z then complain about paying for 93 in the tank.
don't buy the car if you can't afford the maintenance and go for ebay mods

Tell me about, I had a friend who bought a 350 and put 87 gas and regular oil in the car because he said it was too expensive to put the premium grade stuff in

Just buy a used exhaust. Or, and this is way out of left field, if you can't afford to mod the car with quality parts, leave it stock. It's a very entertaining car bone stock.

Honestly, for sounds, gains, OEM fit and finish, I'd recommend trying to find someone's used OEM (i.e., "take off", H-piped) Nismo exhaust (NOT the Weldina Y piped version).
I can guarantee you it will (1) fit perfectly/be easy to install, (2) sound better than the standard OEM exhaust, (3) cost relatively little, (3) be well constructed, (4) net decent power gains, even without a tune. Best bang for the buck exhaust option (without swapping out the OEM cats -- a whole other can of worms).

OP, look at Top Speed or Beluga. Their stuff is basically identical, decent quality and is cheap.

i'm just saying if you wait, save, and get top quality parts it's a much better system.
