Borla I loved mine I had on my 06 350Z it sounded great with my APS Test Pipes and Megan Headers

I plan on getting the Borla TD and Test Pipes and hoping for a similar/better result

How about other exhausts like Fast Intentions, ZELE, GTM Exhaust, Fujisubo, Amuse, Greddy Tic, Saclam, MCR Titnium , Surugaspeed, Invidia, Boombop, MXP etc? You need to put all those there to get a fair response.

There are two different kind of Nismo exhaust if I remember correctly. One is Nismo S-tune which bolts on to any regular 370Z. Then there's the new Nismo exhaust which is different design (hangers and piping) and DO NOT fit regular 370Zs. It's made for Nismo Z ONLY. Which Nismo are you referring to?

Also, please post threads in appropriate section. This should've been posted in "intake/Exhaust" section.

Yep, plenty more exhaust now than what is on his list.
Also, I did not know the Nismo exhaust (the real Nismo) could not fit the standard 370z couple, what makes it not fit?

2x on borla.. they really do make every car sound mean. i think it has more of a lower note than most of the other exhaust. and IMO i think that sounds better then the high pitched ones. The price is def a little high tho

I have a Borla exhaust. it came with my car from the previous owner. it's slightly louder than stock but i'm not confident about it's actual gains since there are no claims or dyno anywhere that i can find. it's honestly a bit too tame for me. i want to switch it out / trade it for an ark exhaust. It's so quiet, you can barely tell the car is on during idle or hear me coming when im just cruising by in a parking lot

Wait... so you want your car to sound loud while cruising in a parking lot?

So far the ones i've heard I didn't really like. There's not enough grunt in them. I guess it's to quite or to raspy.

+1
for under $2K I would say Fast Intentions is the winner.
