Rare exhausts??
 

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.

^I've never really seen it for sale, but it was one of the first exhaust videos I came up across on youtube :) It sounds amazing



I have a T1R catback and ART pipes for my set up

The injen exhaust is sweet!!!! But does it have good gains?! What about the quality of the welds?? No one really has this exhaust though

I looked at injen. If I am not mistaken, do not quote me, the exhaust has zero to minimum gains. I researched the exhaust forints and even brought one thread back from the dead and nothing. There was a post several weeks ago about injen exhaust, the guy bought it but never posted vids. FYI my FI exhaust comes in soon.

Look into litespeed racing exhaust it sounds amazing quality is great, I've had it on my car for over a year. Always get compliments on it. not to mention it looks pretty

Here's an informative website with fairly accurate stuff..

Akarpovic is big in the Corvette community, and, as posted, they are pricey. They sound good with the LS motor, but I went with Corsa because I thought it sounded better, for half the price.

Since buying my Z a few weeks ago, I listened to damn near every available exhaust sound bite on the internet for 370's, and went with the FI's for their "overall" sound. Some were just as nice (again, to my ears) at lower RPM's, but were just too obnoxious at higher RPM's for me. IMHO, it FI was the best overall for my needs.

+1...... :iagree:

Tanabe?

Speaking of the rare exhaust... This one is the king of all! Let me introduce the Djembe exhaust for our VQ family.:tiphat::rofl2:

I am totally okay with ^that^ staying rare.
