Which exhaust is better

yalshaiba · 03-03-2010, 12:59 PM

Hi,
I just bought my 370Z 2010 from US and it's not shipped yet. I purchased Takeda air intake because it's easy to install.

Also I want to buy catback exhaust, so can you help me choose the best one with sound and HP it gives:
STILLEN, GReddy, Borla, Fujimura, Invidia, NISMO,HKS and 5ZIGEN

get fast intentions exhaust and there LTH's

Fast Intentions and Stillen make the same gains, with FI, you'll have to be put on a waiting list because they're made to order. Stillen looks more stock, either way you cant go wrong, leave the others alone.

What justification do you have to say...leave the 'others' alone?

I love my Invidia Gemini - Check out my post Invidia Gemini CBE & ERZ HFC Review (with db comparison)

Yalshaiba - there are enough great reviews on this site to make a justified decision. Just have to take the time to browse the video's. Really comes down to how loud you want it, price, look, etc.

Good luck!

The justification that I have is that Stillen and FI have proven independent dyno results of 15-20whp while the Invidia averages 8-10, Power and Sound is had with both, not knocking the others, but these have proven time and time again to be the best for making power, and sound great.

and are also heavy (at least the Stillen). I plan on Amuse...

Yeah, do not classify us anywhere near Stillen in terms of weight. Our system is anywhere between 10-15 lbs. lighter than stock, all depending on which options you go with.

StLRedrider · 03-03-2010, 06:58 PM

Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

Red370 · 03-03-2010, 06:59 PM

No ones debating the weight, but a 15 lb. addition over stock is negligible.

To some people the weight factor is a big deciding factor. To me it is not, however I do not build these for me I build them for all of you.

never said you didnt have a great setup Tony, its by far the best looking exhaust out there, only thing that stopped me from getting them is the stock look of the Stillen.

The Stillen tips don't look stock at all dude! Granted you don't have the FI muffler look from behind, but the Stillen tips look dramatically different than the stock tips. The Berk CBE is the visual sleeper.

I know you didn't and I am not sweating you either. Everyone likes different things thats why it is great to have options. I will not knock Stillen with trash talking. There is no need to, it is unprofessional. It is better to let our system and sales do the talking for us. I feel the best talking is our consumer feedback.

I was just purely stating that our system is much lighter than stock. Now my personal opinion and what I have seen to date is that no other system makes the numbers ours does either. Until I see otherwise, this is what I know!

Thats all...

Thanks, Tony

I'll be honest with you, i've had a few people see my car and think the exhaust was stock, yeah the tips stick out a bit further, but as far as muffler size and location, it looks completely OEM. I also went to the dealership last night to see when they have some 40th anniversaries coming in and noticed the tips on the NISMO exhaust are WAYY larger.

I guess I mean that in direct comparison with the OEM exhaust, the Stillen looks dramatically different. However, I see your point that someone who has never seen a stock exhaust might think the Stillen was OEM. FI definitely has a 'tuner' look.
