I will be at Z1 this Saturday just an FYI so, something like this?

If their catback is the same quality as their test pipes, you want no part of anything cnt.

Fantastic Z · 10-23-2013, 10:12 PM

Lmao their TP didn't seem too bad but, I was rather impressed with ART pipes and now I unfortunately compare ALL TPs to ART pipes :/

EDIT: Meaning ART pipes are the Shizz! and not many come close in quality.

I agree, either with Stillen or Nismo paired with the AAM Mid pipes.
But i don't think the seller would part out the catback only.

if anyone is interested.... i bought the belugas as a temp exhaust till i can save up for a amuse exhaust.... my oem exhaust is rubbing on my amuse rep rear bumper

simota1 · 11-11-2013, 05:01 AM

ill post some pics and reviews of them.... for what its worth... i think these are decent compared to the aam ones which is basically 2 pipes....

And if you are looking into it I just saw someone post in the FS thread about a AAM Short Tails with Titanium tips for 380. Not sure if you were looking for it exactly but just a heads up there is one used so you don't have to drop that much for one. Hope this helps. And GL with your search for an exhaust! I looked long and hard for mine and am completely satisfied with my exhaust.

Damn simota you are going hard. That exhaust costs waaay too much in my book... Maybe some day though. I really want a single exit exhaust to be honest but 1. it is way too loud and 2. the only choice is Amuse R1000 which costs alot for a single exit exhaust.

Fantastic Z · 11-11-2013, 08:22 PM

Glad to see this is still sparking some interest. I've been doing ALOT of research on exhausts here lately and have found a few I REALLY like. I'm trying to avoid drone as much as possible. As of right now the Motordyne T or E370 is at the top of my list.

Gilianz · 11-11-2013, 08:31 PM

To avoid as much drone as possible. Look for resonated everything. I have FI Res TP and the APEX'i RS Evolution Extreme with 18" Res on them. It is just loud enough when you step on it but there is no drone at highway speeds unless you are around 2k RPM in 6th. There is still the smell of gas because of the TP but other than that I enjoy it. Let me know if you want a clip of the sound... mind you the exhaust itself is fairly expensive for not including a y-pipe... BUT its JDM

Fantastic Z · 11-11-2013, 08:37 PM

From personal experience and my own research. Any exhaust with a Helmholtz resonator (Motordyne, HKS Hi-Power, ARK Grip) have VERY little drone due to the design. Resonated pipes alone DO help but, not quite like the Helmholtz design does.

Preach it!!!

Zensation · 11-11-2013, 09:46 PM

wtf^... anyways Im Running berk tech resonated test pipes and HKS hi power system. I picked up the test pipes on here for ~$200 and the HKS hi power system on here for $500 shipped which cost the guy $275 to ship. needless to say he is one of my best friends now. But just be patient good deals come around and when It comes to the beautiful exhaust note possibilities of the Z I wouldnt settle for a redneck washer mod. Some may like the sound but c'mon its a little tacky.
