There is some drone with the 18" as well. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the HFCs because of the hiss and extra rasp. I felt like the 18" catback had a really nice tuned sound. Plenty loud enough IMO but not so loud that it'll get you into trouble.

I've got fam out in IL, and I agree, very nice place to park the Z.

I tried to get my Saint Bernard to sit by the car while taking the pics but you really cant tell a 120lb dog what to do or at the least get him to sit long enough for a picture

when he was a pup I used to put him in the hatch back of my old 350. that didnt last long

If you don't mind the sound and a little drone at low rpm's(HFC's + 18" Carbon Fiber Exhaust) is where it's at. Sounds so exotic.

haggomyeggo · 03-17-2011, 03:14 PM

See I would like something that I can hear the exhaust from inside the car under accel.

My 350 stock you could really hear that burble and exhause sound
i feel with the 370 I hear more engine. Dont get me wrong its still a good noise but its not that sexy exotic exhaust sound. I want more of that

with this new tire i just bought I might take a bit longer to get this exhaust project going.

m4a1mustang · 03-17-2011, 03:29 PM

You can more than hear the exhaust from inside the car even with just the 18" cat back. It's pretty loud.

haggomyeggo · 03-17-2011, 03:39 PM

this is the exoticness in terms of sound I would look for. Maybe a bit extreme but still like he says

"thats a proper noise"
skip to around 50 secs

but I still want it quiet when you want so this is a bit over the top i know

m4a1mustang · 03-17-2011, 03:41 PM

Unfortunately you can't really get the VQ37 to sound like that, but I think you'd be pretty happy with FI exhaust with or without HFCs.

haggomyeggo · 03-17-2011, 03:47 PM

yeah the VQHR37 is a great engine but I know it cant compete with a Ferrari Dino v6
sound wise.

all this talk is making me want to order that exhaust now!!!

FuszNissan · 03-17-2011, 04:20 PM

I think you would like the 18+HFC's.

I would order them again.(edit to loud for Ford guys)
