Sound upgrade - Choices - Exhaust, HFC, Short Tail, or K&N

I would think long and hard if tame is what you're really looking for. Initially I wanted the same things in an exhaust, but if you are around any other Zs that have other exhausts, it might make you regret it. For me, hearing a tame exhaust around others that are not so tame, I was quickly jealous of the other exhausts. Obviously your price range seems to be on the low side, but realize that there ARE options that are pretty quiet when cruising but really open up at WOT. Either way, it's not a cheap regret to fix. Good luck in your search. I'm curious what you decide to go with and how you end up liking it.

Thanks for your input. I haven't really looked at it that way.

I'm never around any other Z's so I'm not sure if there will ever be an opportunity to get jealous lol.

From the video I've heard it sounds good to me. I didn't really classify it as "tame." Sure it's quiter than some other ones out there but I don't want amything super loud. Needless to say I found the Invidia Gemini and I said hey that sounds great and the price is nice too! Then wanker recommended the Beluga and it pretty much sounds the same and at more than half price!!

Yes, the price is low and attractive to me. The budget also allows me to go higher if I want but was thinking on putting those savings towards a Stillen Gen 3 intake.

Is the Fast Intentions exhaust worth it? Not to mention a 3 month wait time!! I'm not going to wait till spring next year to get an exhaust on my ride
