Tanabe, build quality is first class. Sound is not ricey, not loud or not too quiet. More of a touring exhaust until you get over 4k.

I've had the Fast Intentions TDX with 18" non-resonated test pipes for over three years now and the combination is great. Though, and maybe I'm just getting older, but I find myself getting slightly annoyed by the loudness during longer-than-usual drives. Still, it's hard to beat the sound, quality, and gains from FI.

Most will direct u to Fl...They're the biggest selling exhaust in the Z market....a good exhaust but I decided to go with Berk as I wanted something close to stock not too flashy that sounded great. Their CBE paired with their HFC's/Resonated TP'S is Exotic and clean.
Exhaust Name: Berk Technology Nissan 370Z/Infiniti G37 - Berk Technology Quality: Awesome Fitment/Looks: Stockish with bigger tips Sound: Perfect....No Drone...No Rasp...smooth, deep and a beast after 3500RPM Luckily for me Berk had just received their shipment of supplies and was able to ship my exhaust out the door in 2 weeks Here's a vid of my Berk Set-up with Resonated TP's.

You will get drone on most aftermarket exhausts in certain rpm bands. From review, Motordyne has less drone compared to FI (boost lee i believe).
Like everyone says, FI is smoother and deeper, motordyne more aggressive and higher pitch. If I could do it over again I would do motordyne test pipes with motordyne shockwave. Currently have FI 18" SS exhaust with FI resonated test pipes. It's loud in a good way but can be annoying at freeway crusing speed when rpm band is 2K to 3K. Added side branch pipes and it calmed the drone down a lot. Testing to see if I like the new setup or if I want to change to motordyne.

Everybody always jumps on saying Fast Intentions, Motordyne and ARK, but no one almost never mentions HKS. I love my HKS, perfect fit and finish, zero drone, and while running the stock cats, not much louder than stock. A very smooth, mellow tone.

Which exhaust should I buy??
Quote:
That was my second option if no one had a used ark or motordyne up.. A friend put one on his 335i, sounds nice at start up then slowly goes down in sound. I decided against due to me wanting a little more bass with VQ sound. But anyways, to OP, I have an ARK grip on my 09, stock cats. No drone when cruising in the upper gear. Sound doesnt come till 3k. But when your slowing down there IS that slight drone from about 4k(if your that low or high) to 2k. I like it IMO. I have a 7at too so i cant say anything about slowing down with the clutch in. ARK grip Fitment: Some people have it good.. others have some fitment issues being the tip sticks out a little more on one side. I guess a hit or miss? I got mine used. And yes it is off there. Sound: smooth vq at certain rpms. Opens up after 3k. If i can remember, there decibels were in the 80s on start up, don't quote me on that if your state/county has a thing for it.. and if you follow it. Quality: 9/10 due to fitment issue i mentioned. ALSO sits pretty low so if you are lowered from stock Id ask others that are lowered with this set up.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by NRGz; 10-19-2016 at 11:04 PM. |
