Which exhaust???

Paladinjc · 02-09-2011, 10:40 AM

Guys, Gals,

I am 4 weeks from getting some work done. I am torn between 2 exhausts systems. Pls give me your opinions.

1st, GTM Motorsports*::*EXHAUST*::*GTM SPEC 3" 370Z CAT-BACK

2nd, Nissan 370Z ARK GRIP True Dual Exhaust System -SUS

Remember one thing, I am going Turbo in 2 years and don't want to swap out the exhausts again. So I am looking to get an exhaust that can handle a Greddy or GTM Turbo.

Thx

Supposedly the HKS HI POWER TI can work for turbo applications too. I installed it last night. Sounds great too

What do you Guys think of the Greddy Ti-C? I hear a lot of people say it has exhaust droning. Does the silencer help that?

GReddy

Remember, we double welded our muffler caps for the purpose of customers going FI.

The ARK is a Y pipe dual 2.5inch, correct?

OP, I say if you're planning to go TT that soon, and you'll want/prefer 3" pipes to handle that, might as well go with the GTM setup, that way if you do go with the GTM TT kit, you know they will match up. Not to say others won't, but the less unnecessary doubt there is, the more

you'll be.

Also, take into consideration you have the Nismo rear bumper... Which kits will fit with that vs the stock rear bumper... If any modification would be needed?

And as luck would have it... Check this thread out...

Between those 2 choices? GTM. They built some badass products for the Z.I went with their test pipes(a1 ) and was going to go all the way until FI came into play. But your going tt. I like GTM. I just heard be prepared to wait .id Order ahead. Also like that its 3".

Get the GTM, you'll come back to ARK's exhaust eventually.

paladinjc if you wait a while, ARK is coming up with a their type 1 exhaust cant wait!

I ordered the Greedy TI-c Turbo exhaust, I also ordered Injen Cold air intakes, a 25 Row oil cooler, and Osiris UpRev software. After they are all installed and the ECU is re-tuned I will post up pics and Dyno results.

Thx for all the advise guys!
PEACE
