I voted F.I. I was buyer #3 of their catback for the 370Z and I still love the exhaust. Light weight, sounds great, looks great. Only issue I have is ground clearance, but I am lowered quite a bit too.

jadeb0x · 04-09-2011, 04:56 PM

Mackin - distributors for Volk, Project Mu, Espelir, Advan, etc. in the US. they now have their own line of performance products now. quality stuff.

mine is loud because i have resonated test pipes, so i do get some of that rasp... but none of that hiss or drone.

FromG2Z · 04-09-2011, 04:58 PM

Wow... thanks for the responses guys.... keep em coming! So far, F.I. is winning by a landslide, followed by Stillen.

I love the F.I. sound too, but am worried about how low it is. Will it be an issue if I am riding stock and currently have no plans of lowering?

edit: is it just me, or am I the only who thinks that just "maybe", the F.I. cbe looks a little too blingy??? just curious.

The fast intentions looks good especially the carbon fiber. Great sound and loved mine but it's sits low. If you plan on having a major drop on coils watch out. Only reason why I changed mine is causE I wanted to slam my car and not worry abot the exhaust. My exhaust isn't for everyone but sounds good and is already ready for FI

djpathfinder · 04-09-2011, 06:11 PM

Yeah, I git an Invidia exhaust for my FX45 in 2009. Liked it so much I got one for the Z last year. I have the double wall SS for both. Good sounding, good pricing and good quality. I wouldn't hesitate recommending it.

wheee! · 04-09-2011, 07:05 PM

The invidia is probably the best choice for what you are looking for. The FI exhaust is louder and more "bling" than the HKS (which I have) but my second choice was invidia. I will be getting the rolled ss tips for the HKS when Nissan Generation finally gets them...

ARK FTW. SOUND, PERFORMANCE, and Price.
Did you see that TT 370z with the exhaust video? Pure Sex

Viera · 04-10-2011, 02:42 AM

Get out and listen to as many aftermarket exhausts for the 370z as you can. That's is the best way to decide!

wheee! · 04-10-2011, 12:12 PM

Somehow this thread has turned into "what's your favourite exhaust" rather than answering the OP's question of what meets HIS needs. FI is definitely not what he is looking for in sound/looks.

I agree... what's with the long wait? What if I buy it frome some of our sponsors here on this forum? Don't they already have them in-hand?

Exhaust Name: Berk
Quality: Great..Welds and Pipings are awsome
Fitment/Looks:Perfect...No issues with fitment...Mine was from the 2nd batch...Has stock look and Pipse DON'T STICK out from rear bumper...Has a nice flush look...Tips are beautiful
Sound: As Matt put it..."EXOTIC" a perfect 11 out of 10...

Really though this exhaust sounds amazing IMO....

Judge for yourself...Here's a link to my vid
YouTube - 370Z Berk Exhaust

As mentioned earlier...all the exhausts that you posted on your poll are great exhausts...It just all comes down to what you want and your preference...They've all got different styles which makes them all unique...as you can tell by your Poll and the F. I. Exhaust thread...F. I. is one of the most popular exhausts out there...If you're looking for a more stock/sleeper look, then your choices will be narrowed down.

Best of Luck!!!!

Wow Bolio... I need re-consider Berk. That look is almost stock. But the sound is sooo sweet. That's the stock sound I miss about by G35C, but a lot deeper and more authoritative. I just hate what they did with the stock 370Z exhaust sound. I can't even hear it from inside the cabin while driving. In your vid, it's even captured on an audio recording.

However, I did read somewhere on here, that there were some quality fitment issues with Berk initially? as well as bad customer service and long wait times? Does this still hold true today? And what if purchased through a sponsor, do I still have to deal with Berk directly for issues or do I still have to wait as long as I would for F.I. to purchase one?!?!?

That's ok... I welcome all your opinions... in the end, it helps me decide what I will get. As for F.I., though I like how it sounds, too much bling, sitting low, and the price are what's concerning me...

Right now, am debating between Invidia, Stillen, and Berk.

From what I've heard, Berk got their issues together...Its true that there were a lot of problems with the 1st and 2nd batch as far as timing....Keep in mind that this was when the product first launched, and they had a bunch of issues with their supplier over seas...Their biggest problem was communication with members that ordered....but they fixed that issue and when it came down to it, they took care of all of us with discounts and promo-offers....From my understanding, they were planning to stock up on these exhausts so that they could ship out on order...Give them a call ask for Bryan or Laurie...if I'm not mistaken "Rob" is the one that was last monitoring the forums...

The one thing that is a plus with the Berk besides its stock look and awesome Growl is its Exclusiveness!!!! There's not many of them being sported out there as in comparison to other exhausts.

Here's their link

IF your not gonna get HFC or Testpipes. The best sounding exhaust is hands down ARK.

dark_nismo · 04-10-2011, 12:57 PM

HKS ftw...
Sounds even better with F.I resonated hfc's.
No rasp, not loud compared to others and sounds aggressive. Just perfect. Extremely satisfied.
