Opinions on headers for 11 370z nismo

tgeorge33 · 06-02-2011, 04:04 PM

I have a 2011 370z nismo and im waiting for my AEM CAI to come in but i'm looking to get headers for it also. Right now im looking at Stillen, PPE, and F.I headers. However, i want headers that wont be too pricey and will have a nice sound with good gains. What are your opinions on which headers to go with?

I feel all headers make a nice sound. But if you want the gains, go with the long tube. FI seems to be the jack pot IMO. For what you'd get, the price is more than worth it. I'd like to have some. But not sure what direction I'm going in for the future. Ours cars are pretty sweet with all the basic NA mods and a tune. But going FI......thats another story.

I know there were power losses when people tested the stillen headers, but does anyone know if a tune would have made a difference?

SPOHN · 06-02-2011, 07:20 PM

It would probably be mild.

If you price the stillen headers make sure you price some test pipes to go with them. Just get the F.I. or ppe if you want to be happy in the long run.

so its between PPE headers and F.I. now my budget is about 1,800. should i just get the F.I. headers for like 1,200? or get the PPE for 750? those r the prices i found online... between these two what has the better sound and gain and what would you choose?

tgeorge33 · 06-03-2011, 12:01 PM

oh and this is somewhat a random question but can a GTR exhaust system fit on the 370z?

Get the FI. From what I've seen here they make a great product with pride. Along with great customer service. Not saying the other company is bad.

really? then it must have been a custom exhaust cuz i saw a 350z on youtube with the quad exhaust like the GTR

ChipsWithDips · 06-03-2011, 02:05 PM

A lot of exhausts have two tips per muffler. I wouldn't really call that a quad exhaust though, it's just the tips.

tgeorge33 · 06-03-2011, 02:47 PM

ya i just said tht cuz it looked like a GTR exhaust. it was sick looking. but if i can sell my Si cf hood and front and rear lips and my amp and subs ill prolli be able to buy the F.I. headers and id like to get the MXP CBE. it sounds amazing

tgeorge33 · 06-03-2011, 07:52 PM

ill prolli just get the F.I. headers. i like the MXP exhaust but thats $1,850. Opinions on a Megan Racing CBE. i can get that for like $750
