I am currently running into what to get for my '14 Nismo. I don't want to do fast intentions, was either thinking Ark DTS or AAM short tails, I have the k&n intake now. Just reying to find something nice that fits well and looks good on a NISMO

Top Speed Pro 1, Berk HFC. minimal rasp loud when you step on it.

I don't want to mess with the cats currently.

Fast Intentions CBE 12'' resonator only. Used to have their high flow cats non-resonated but was too loud for me. Now I'm feeling I'm more towards the quiet side...so god forbids me from getting the right sound! I'll probably more fit with 18'' resonator+resonated HFC. That should be the right sound for me :(

Here is my current setup.

AAM 3" True Dual
AAM Test Pipes
AAM Cold Air Intake

You're running a 3" on a NA motor? Got any dyno sheets?

Sounds a little raspy

Yeah. I will have it tuned in a coupled of weeks and put up dynos then but I didn't get a preinstall dyno so I won't know the exact gains. This is the first round of mods. I plan to go FI so I wanted to use the parts for that instead of changing later.

it was just put on so it hasn't aged yet. Plus there are no cats so it's pretty much straight pipe

Wow, that sounds awesome...

I want one that's loud, obnoxious, but not raspy or fart can loud. I heard a Porsche Cayman S on the highway on ramp go full throttle and OMFG!!! Insane and that's the sound I like. I like the FI exhaust, but don't wanna drop the coin on it though, I would like to keep the stock mufflers cause I don't want the aftermarket one dragging on driveways or speed bumps and I love the tips as well. Any ideas???

F.I. exhausts don't really sit that low, no worries. I haven't scratched once. Yet. Go for it you will like it. If you want loud and obnoxious, add a resonated or nonresonated HFCs or headers (more extreme). Absolute awesomeness.

The clearance on the AAM exhaust is also fine. I am around 1 inch lower and have plenty of clearance. The exhaust looks "shrink-wrapped to the car. There is no wasted space under the car.
