I want an exhaust for my Z, need help plz

MotorDyne

Always got compliments on my Z's MotorDyne exhaust and it had test pipes which usually makes them obnoxious as hell. Was going to get ART pipes but didn't keep the Z long enough to get that done.

Good luck on the search OP. My vote is for MotorDyne.

There are only two IMO.

1st choice: Fast Intentions in Simi Valley, Headers or High Flow Cats, Non Resonated, Carbon Fiber muffler, prismatic tips. Pleasing to the ears and the eyes. Countless compliments even from cops. My actual experience.

If you are daring, order straight pipes LOL.

2nd: Motordyne Shockwave here in Santa Clarita. Supporting local business. I live in the area + it sounds fantastic. Watch youtube videos and you'll be sold. Not a looker vs Fast Intentions Carbon Fiber exhaust.

Whatever you decide, stay away from the crappy looking single exhaust. Many like their Tomei but man, it just looks fugly from the rear. Looks 5tupid with a blank on one side. I can't stand the awful aesthetic of a single exhaust but its a free country so your call.

I have a Magnaflow in one of my Z's. It's not too loud or too quiet. Just right.....and every time I see the "MF" on the tips I think that it's funny and I smile.

I have the Fast Intentions Catback with 18” resonators on my 2013 370z. Great sound at low rpm and opens up clean in the higher rpm. I have Megan headers and FI high flow cats. Love the system from both the looks and performance and sound

On my car is ISR's dual catback exhaust system. Build quality was great and the price is even better. The exhaust comes with a modular connecting piece with two bottle resonators and two large rear mufflers exiting the rear of the car for that aggressive look out the back that so many people love. The system is deep and low with ZERO Rasp!! but with a Y-pipe of your choosing(I went 1320performance) you can really get her to open at those higher rpms. It sounds dare I say GtRishh not like motodyne but similar in a way & all for half the cost. I got my full system for under 1k with change to spare.

I recently installed the ARK Grip on my 2020. Super deep “throaty” sound. Actually quite stock sounding while mostly coasting down the road but when you step on it the “power sound” is right there!!!!

HIGHLY recommend Megan Racing axle back to add some sound to the OE feel. It's plug and play, no rasp, call it "adult style".

tonythetiger · 04-19-2023, 10:31 PM

fast intentions are good, i do wish i can upgrade to another fast intentions with burnt tips, im running og exhaust system

Hyperleggera · 04-20-2023, 11:11 AM

Running Fast Intentions w/ resonators and their 10" sport mufflers. So far, nothing but smiles.

xfrgtr · 04-26-2023, 02:46 PM

Fast Intentions, non resonated.

ZoomZ · 05-04-2023, 01:54 PM

I can only comment on MR, it's the one go get if you don't want to be obnoxious. It's also plug and play using all the oe mounts etc. Can be done in less than 1 hr. in your driveway without a jack.

ZoomZ · 06-15-2023, 01:45 PM

For the FI users, do you have problems with mufflers slipping off exhaust hangers when you accelerate or decel.?

I have heard, that this is an issue for some, as FI does not put "mushroomed" ends on hanger support rods.

Looking at FI pictures, it appears they are straight rods.

SophiaZ · 06-27-2023, 09:49 PM

I recently sold my Z and had my exhaust taken off during the trade. It’s a Fast Intentions 10” sport muffler with stainless steel tips. I also have high flow cats. The sound was amazing and plenty loud with no rasp

I’ve had 2 of their setups and didn’t have any issues with either one
