I'm not trying to get into that discussion at all, simply saying that they are late to the party so it will be hard to make up market share when most people have already bought an exhaust.

How many people are switching? You talk silly. And if you do switch just beacause its a new popular exhaust you have to much money and should give me some.

i personally am not switching, i am still stock. i have been waiting for this to come out. i almost bought the FI but decided to hold out and wait (not very long, just got my 370 in november).

i'm certainly not a fanboy - i'm just saying MD puts out a quality product and a lot of the guys who are familiar with the brand from the 350Z platform are stoked to see it released for the 370Z. we experienced the quality, performance and service and know what to expect, just as the guys who are stoked to hear about other brands they are loyal to do.

but there really are some guys selling their exhausts to switch to this one. go surf around the FS threads. i've seen 1-2. if i had already purchased another exhaust, i'd probably consider switching.

Well then you sir have to much money and should give me some. I'm not arguing the point that MD and this exhaust is not a great company and product. If this was out when I purchased my FI it would have been a hard choice to make. Just some of the stuff people are saying on this thread are silly.

i'm not going to give you any of my hard earned money

and i'm not trying to argue with you my friend. i'm going to quit going back n' forth in this thread. let's try to stay on topic and respect the OP's review (maybe a mod can clean it up?)...

Looking forward to hearing it, I love the look of the exhaust but I'm on the fence.. I do alot of highway driving for work usually around those speeds, and dont know how loud it will be.

Thanks!

geee...i didnt think my remark was gonna make everyone so salty.

enough of the he-said-this-no-you-said-that-but-you-started-it-frenzy.

i was just trying to say this exhaust, appears to have all the makings of absolute awsomeness

What a strange mic setup you have. However, i can make out a very sweet sounding V6 there, sounds great and really does seem to quieten down when cruising 8)

That helps, so is it about the same loudness at say 80 in 6th gear?

Also it may be posted in the thread but do you have hfcs/tps on the car?

tibal · 02-25-2012, 10:46 AM
