Loudest exhaust set up out there?

alan49121 · 03-19-2014, 11:08 AM

Hi guys, I just got a 370z and the exhaust set up is way too quiet for me. What is the loudest set up out there without bypassing the cats?

The AAM Short tails. Incidentally, they're also among the most overpriced exhaust products out there: muffler deletes that you have to pay $500+ for.

That is misleading.

AAM short tails + headers + a midpipe = WAY louder than short tails alone.

He said without getting rid of his cats...

I doubt changing the mid pipe will change the loudness very much.

I didn't say you had to get rid of your cats.
Headers do not eliminate your cats necessarily, neither does a mid-pipe.

And yes adding the mid-pipe to the short tails will make it significantly louder. I have heard with my own two ears

Any headers worth doing get rid of the cats. Shorty headers on this car are a waste of money and time. It's long tubes or nothing, and long tubes get rid of the cats, hence his comment.

That's just too loud. There was a member that did something similar and immediately took it off because it was just obnoxious.

I have AAM and I love them. They are loud and people will notice (also from miles away).

i have the greddy turbo tic exhaust and stock cats.... thing is loud

Sh0velMan · 03-19-2014, 11:22 AM

I guess they've lowered the price of the 'base model' tails down to $429. So at least sub $500 now... Still...

Was considered loudest thing in my city for awhile

But finally straightened out my A/F raios so shut her up

gomer_110 · 03-19-2014, 11:28 AM

Best bet is probably GT Haus paired with some HFC's since you don't want to eliminate the cats. fwiw a Z34 with full GT Haus CBE is almost as loud as my Z with LTH's and F.I. non-res CBE.

Joepro · 03-19-2014, 11:36 AM

My Non res- FI with no cats ans z1 headers was bone rattilng loud to say the least, glad I got this turbo to turn down the volume for me

FI non res is essentially straight pipe with 2 inline mufflers at the rear, and still sounds good.

Depending on how much you want to spend, Meisterschaft is a great choice. Combining their axle back with the mid pipe and front Y pipe collector, will give you an awesome sound. I'll include a quick clip of a setup this setup.

hey thats me!
yes GTHaus is loud but the tone is proper. theres loud and then theres obnoxious. if you have lots of drone its bad. the GTHaus is proper. Put it this way, i gutted my trunk so i could hear it more. You cant have a conversation at all but who cares, im here to drive. Anything less than 15 volume on the radio is also completely drowned out :P
