Which exhaust should I buy??

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 would be the only person here to go for the japan powercraft. it sounds amazing and looks good .

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.

Are there any z meets in California? I'm South Bay Area and never heard/seen one. Lots on classics and Chevy but never seen a z meet.

There's a Nissfest on Sept 25 in Fontana, CA. Alot of z's will be there! I'm pretty sure there are z clubs near you that you can join too.

I have Invivia test pipes and CBA. I love the deep sporty sound

There are usually a bunch of Z meets in the South Bay. There is a Z group in the Bay Area that hosts meets every month. Very friendly bunch.

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.

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..
