Which exhaust should I buy??

happyz

I finally got tired of my stock sounding z and now I'm deciding to buy an exhaust. I've already got a stillen gen 3 intake installed. The only thing that sucks is that there are too many exhausts and it's hard to tell how that exhaust sounds in youtube videos. I've want a exhaust that has a DEEP EXOTIC sound rather than it being super loud. Honestly, I just don't want it sound RICEY.I want to know what kind of exhausts you have and how you like it. If you guys could format it in this way, I saw this on another thread and it seemed to work.

Exhaust Name:
Quality:
Fitment/Looks:
Sound:

I narrowed my choices to Fast Intentions 18'' resonators, Motordyne (I've seeb videos but I want to hear how you guys think it sounds like), and Tanabe (I don't really know how this sounds or have any info on this, but I heard it on a stillen supercharged g37 and I liked it). But, if there are exhausts that have better sounds let me know! Thanks guy this would really help alot!

Fast Intentions or Invidia paired up with some HFC.

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

Since you want quiet and deep I would go with F.I w/ resonators. Motordyne E370 might be to loud for you preference. A buddy of mine just installed his motordyne and its really loud above 3-4k but still sounds good. Both are extremely good in terms of quality, looks and fitment.

Is it pretty loud just when cruising? The only reason I've been thinking about getting motordyne rather than f.i. is because of the drone.

nick654

Your going to get some drone when you are doing hill climbs and any high gear low RPM acceleration but its definitely bearable. I am used to decently pretty loud exhausts so it does not bother me that much. If you really want no drone go with F.I. w/18 inch resonators. If its not loud enough add HFC or test pipes. Done.

Exhaust Name: Fast Intentions TDX w/18 inch res
Quality: Fantastic!
Fitment/Looks: too pretty to mount under the car.
Sound: Very deep from idle to 2500, 2600 to 4000 very smooth, 4000 to redline very exotic. Add in a supercharger and then multiply the sound by 10!

Both F.I. and Motordyne are good choices. Go F.I. if you want something smoother/deeper. Go Motordyne if you want something louder/more aggressive.

Also, find a local meet and check out some exhausts in person.

I definitely would've done that but I live in the central valley. Most of the z clubs are up north or south so it's quite a drive.

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.

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.

I've never seen a thread like this... Ever...

Deep=Fast Intentions or... Ark.

Especially from someone with less then 10 posts. Never.

Can't go wrong with Fast Intentions. Over 1500 custom made exhausts and probably 500 resales out there.
