Well,

All sarcasm aside...

I just got the Invidia Gemini exhaust as well as the Berk Test pipes. At first I thought the set up was too loud, but after giving it a couple of weeks, I am very pleased with the tone, volume and cost of this setup.

At idle and cruise it is a little louder than stock. On throttle it sounds fantastic. I have not had the opportunity to hear the other ones available for the car in person, but from clips I feel that I got the best bang for my buck.

Hope that helps... and next time... search a little so we don't have to have three pages of people spending as much time telling you to search as it would have taken them to give a synopsis of thier exhaust setup...

I hate it when people do this. Do you guys really have nothing better to do than ridicule someone for asking a valid question? Has it ever occured to you that maybe he did do some research, or that asking the question at an Z owner's site does qualify as research? This type of behavior is flat out trolling.

To the OP... check out Fast Intentions, they have an amazing exhaust that has won over many Z owners.

earwicker...

thanks for confirming that there are still some people who are respectful even on online forums... I feel the same way that you do...

There have been many similar posts with similar requests in the past, so I can see why some of us old timers who have seen every post since jesus bought his 370 would get a little tired of seeing the same stuff over and over, but in the spirit of being helpful, the cheapest way would be to remove your cats or mufflers. Some shops won't do this because of the legality, but many will. This will be pretty loud. I'm not sure how loud you want to go, you weren't too specific. Hope this helps, feel free to search through the exhaust threads we have, they are plentiful.

I must say I'm a bit upset with some of the responses here. You have to take into consideration that NOT EVERYONE is as savvy when it comes to internet or these forum softwares. You'll be surprised how many people gets lost in these forums and pm me to guide them to the right direction. I do that EVERYDAY without any grunt or being annoyed.

I'm sure OP is a mature guy ( judging by his profile info "retired") and being serious and asked a legitimate question. If he asked this question in my350z or other Z forums, "go search noob" or "facepalm" "let me google that for you" etc are typical "expected" responses. But on the370z, I thought I have worked hard to keep my forum different than those other ones

. We want to keep a friendly environment where we welcome everyones questions. EVERY TIME, I welcome a new member in the "Introduction" section, I clearly tell them "Please feel free to ask any question you have and we will do out BEST to answer it". If this is what they get when they DO ask it, then i must say "I'm disappointed". If it's a new question, try to answer it. If it has been answered before, point them to the right thread/post. It's very frustrating when you ask a question and it turns into a big post fest with no real info in it. This is one of the big reason I opened this forum where you can post a topic, get the answer and you don't' have to deal with off topic/sarcastic replies that you get in those "other" Z forums.

Op, since you said cheap, Frost does bring up a good point.

You can hear some of the available exhausts here: 370Z Exhaust Sound Clip data base

F. I. exhaust Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

Berk exhaust Berk Technology 370Z Cat-Back exhaust GB 1&2 Updates!
which currently on GB only for $995!

Stillen exhaust Stillen Exhaust with Berk HFCs

+/- $1200 should be the cheapest getting a good exhaust that will make your exhaust sound bolder, louder .

nogoodname · 12-21-2009, 04:52 PM

if you want a damn bold loud exhaust that's in ur face through the ears and up ur nose... get long tube headers and MXP exhaust.... MXP exhaust is pretty loud with just test pipes.. imagine LTH's...lol

I didn't really want to mention the different exhausts since he was looking for the cheap. I don't consider any exhaust for this car cheap when some of the american ones go for ~$500

nogoodname · 12-21-2009, 04:55 PM

a cheap method is the poke a hole exhaust.. or remove the OEM res for epic loud rasp

ChrisSlicks · 12-21-2009, 04:56 PM

I apologize to the OP, I got caught in a moment. Do not redirect your exhaust into the cabin as you will die. I will stop

and go behave myself.

For a cheap increase in volume replace the cats with High flow cats (HFC's), and if even more is desired replace the exhaust with the Berk, Stillen or F.I. Exhaust.

12-21-2009, 04:56 PM

I for one thought "rape" was a good answer, but I will go with this

Is there a possibility the air passing by the burs from the drilling would make a high pitched noise?

Well said AK - I do not mind the fact that the OP is asking for advise... I just mind how quickly people are ready to jump on his throat. I always felt this place was different than the other forums I frequent (or should I say have frequented)... I just hope and pray that this place never turns into one of those. We are here to help educate ppl about our cars - show off our creativity and help others learn - we are NOT here to make ourselves feel better about someone else's shortcomings...

roplusbee · 12-21-2009, 05:17 PM

<off topic> So the Mustangs transfer sound into the cockpit to give the driver a more connected feeling? That is kinda crazy.</off topic>

I went with the Berk Cat Back (GB#2). I like the sound of the F.I. Gemini, but I plan on lowering and that unit looks like it will have trouble with bumps, pothole, <insert random illness here>. The Stillen and Nismo units look to be similar to me, using the stock location and what looks to be stock clearance. No info on the other though. But there is a good thread that has all of the sound clips / videos in it. 370Z Exhaust Sound Clip data base Hope this helps you.

P.S. You gotta admit, some of that stuff above was funny. I just didn't expect to see it here.
