[Official] "Which Exhaust Should I Buy for My 370z?" Thread

[nhbpcivicsi]

Yeah i figured that FI would be the #1 pick and i can clearly see why.. great looking and sounding exhaust and the welding is phenomenal, but the wait time is just too much IMO, i guess the E370 is out of the picture just for the price, so its really between the FI and the ARK GRiP, maybe the Tanabe is someone has anything convincing to say lol. Just wish that FI was more available, there will be no questions asked then!!

Keep an eye out in the private classifieds section. They pop up used every so often. I got lucky myself and found a local selling theirs. And if you do order from FI and find a used one before shipment, you can sell your spot in line to someone else. I've seen that mentioned several times throughout the forum.

EDIT: Today is your lucky day...

Fast Intentions TDX Cat Back Exhaust For Sale

Also will note I was contacted one time by a dealership in Dallas claiming they keep some FI exhausts in stock. Never followed up with them though.

Wow i thought it was almost impossible to find a used one lol! im probably being a bit too picky here but i was going for the 12' resonators, and although the posting price is obo, if i order one from FI it'll be like an extra $200 shipped which is worth it for the piece of mind of not having a dent
How do you like your FI exhaust? and what X-pipe do you have?

I have 18" resonated. I too was on the fence on 12" vs. 18", but I love the 18's. When cruising at highway speeds, you can still hear the purr of the exhaust and then when you get on the throttle, the purr becomes a roar! (But nothing obnoxious)

Later if you still think 18" is not loud enough, you could just order the x-pipe from FI (with the 3 month wait time) or see if anyone would be willing to trade their 12" for your 18".

Also, the dent/scrape on there doesn't look too bad IMHO. Probably doesn't affect sound or performance. You could probably give the guys at FI a call to get a 2nd opinion. They're more than happy to talk about their product.

EDIT: BTW k-series crew checking in. Still have my NHBP '05 RSX (base) as my semi-daily driver.

I'm running w/ the 18"'s...couldn't be happier. No highway drone, plenty loud for my tastes.

IIRC, the wait time will be less than that on just an x-pipe.

+1 for F.I. here

man do i miss that K block.. as much as i love the nismo, i still wish that i would've kept the Si to be the daily instead of driving the nismo on almost a daily basis..

[nhbpcivicsi]

Regarding the original topic, its between the FI and the ARK GRiP.. downside to FI is the wait time, and for the GRiP i saw a thread regarding fitment issues on the nismo.. not sure what to do

[dima370z]

What kinda of exhaust is good or decent nothing to fancy that sounds similar to nismo tone/sound not to quite or not too loud nice aggressive deep sound.. for no more than $799 i have heard of top speed pro 1 is good they have a few to choice from. what do u guys think of there exhaust? are they good exhausts ? top speed pro 1 or theres better ones for that price range please let me know im kinda knew to this thing or forum.

people I need some serious help, what would you pick: ARK GRiP or Fast Intentions 12'? problem with ARK is I heard issues with fitment on nismo (not sure if v2 fixed that problem) and the problem with FI is the long wait.. WHAT WOULD YOU PICK??!?!

Get Amuse Stti! Enough said, any comments anyone? Talk to Mark at bulletproof automotive. Proven with Eye Candy. Bet everyone starts drooling once you have it. Especially compared to the ones they just mentioned. I would say, get full exhaust with Y- pipe.

That's just my 2 cents but it's well worth it. Cutting the bs big time. Any negatives about Amuse anyone? ....don't think so....

PRICE... I don't need a full JDM to make my Zpeen bigger. Coming from Japan, that may be counterproductive.

Guys i need help on this..

I'm thinking of changing my exhaust system, but i'm not sure to go with the HKS or the Amuse exhaust. I managed to hear a person rev with his HKS on a 370z.. not bad but very quiet on its cruising.

Has anyone heard both of these exhausts before?

Which is better..

I'm from Singapore so we are only allowed to mod exhausts, cannot put in any hfcs or straight pipes..

So which would be better? Suggestions?

Price wise they are both the same here..
