Rare exhausts??

Gibby1113

I've been doing some research and I've noticed that there are some rare exhausts out there for our Zs that aren't really advertised on the forum. There's an exhaust called the Akarpovic exhaust which sounds FANTASTIC. It's so exotic and extremely high quality. Only thing is it runs for around $3k for the whole system.

I recently discovered an exhaust by a company called Xforce that is very nice too but I think there's only a hand full of people on the forum who own this exhaust. That being said, is there a reason why these exhausts are not popular? The Xforce exhaust is literally half the price of the Akarpovic exhaust but believe me you can notice the difference, not dissing anyone from the land of down under..y'all's exhaust is SWEET.

Just want to get some insight on this due to the fact there's almost no info about either of these exhausts on the forum. And yes I've used the search feature and gone to both websites and read about their exhausts, it's just that no one has made a review about either of these exhaust systems. In total there's about 10 YouTube videos for these exhausts so that kinda doesn't help either....anyone heard these in person???

Just my personal opinion, but I think Akarpovic didn't do THAT great of a job on the exhaust system for the 370z. Their HP gains aren't something to die for, their sound is meh and also the weight savings isn't as crazy as it is on the e92 system. The price is double the price of an Fast Intentions exhaust, and iirc Fast Intentions has better gains and better sound, while the weight difference isn't too much.

TBH there are quite a few unheard of / underplayed exhausts for the Z.

For example this



Is an amazing sound. I like it far better than any exhaust i've heard for the Z, throaty and friggin deep, man. Half the forum doesn't even know of its existence, and lots discredit it for its lower price tag (can be had for like $500 new, shipped). I have it and i'm stupendously in love with it.

Go with whatever the heck you like and dont worry about the rest. Youll be driving it nobody else.

Price is one factor. And if there aren't a lot of proven gains for an exhaust, most people will look instead toward one with lots of dyno support such as Fast Intentions.

Exhausts like Meisterschaft and Amuse are exceptions to the rule since they have such unique sounds that any lack in performance compared to other exhausts is easily excused. And sub $1k exhausts are overlooked because "You get what you pay for" pops up, even though it may not always be the case.

EDIT: BTW the Injen exhaust has the be one of the rarest 370Z exhausts. Almost no info at all on it for some reason.

Tanabe is VERY nice but not so rare. I've heard of plenty of people that have this. I guess you could say it is rare because it is so expensive haha over 1k for just half the exhaust!!!

Wish tanabe would do a group buy and lower the price by a few hundreds...wouldn't that be nice....

That's what i have, and wouldn't trade it for any other JDM exhaust. I looked at Tanabe, Mines, Amuse, and MCR. It wasn't about price for me, it was about the perfect sound and the whole package that Tanabe offers.

I've posted threads re this system and sent PM's to an owner on this forum with regards to obtaining more info, but nothing

Anyway I've decided to go with this system, as far as I'm aware it'll probably be the only one of its kind here in the UK, that's enough for me. If I don't like it, and that's unlikely, I'll change it.

As for 'gains', honestly how many of you can actually feel the difference of a few HP? Great for bragging rights down the pub...I could just run with half a tank of fuel, no screen wash and wearing just a mankini for the same 'gains'.

BTW, the youtube clip of the Injen is of a modified system with quad tips, OEM is dual.

Has anyone any info on the Injen, as far as I'm aware their products are of good design and build quality.
