Rule is never go over 1/4 inch over stock in exhaust diameter, when you do your engine performance drops (unless your boosted of course). So get what you want, you don't need brand name to get the sound you want.

Buying exhaust is just like you said, getting the right combo of parts to get the tone your looking for. HP gains you wont even notice there so small. You get more HP gains buying light weight rims and tires. I had FI High Flow CATs and FI Carbon Fiber Cans. Loved the sound but couldn't here myself think on long drives. my car has 70,000 miles so i needed a quiet system but didn't want to loose low end torque.

1st - I swapped out HFC for ARC Test Pipes after hearing FootLoose's set up. It gave me a deeper growl.

2nd - Left test pipes on and researched the look and sound i wanted. I didn't want the Fart Can look some systems give our cars. I liked the resonated look and sound. I found 2 systems with that look and sound, ARC Grip and CNT. CNT uses cheaper material and cost 1/2 as ARC Grip. Both sound the same, quiet under normal acceleration but awesome when hammered.

My car is not boosted at the moment so 2.25 is good for me, I still auto cross and drive hard but I have better low end torque with the 2.25 tubing, stock motor. Not going over 55/65 on these courses, don't need 2.5 system (For me)

Buy what you want and get the sound you like. I am planning on building my own after my engine and turbo install. For the gains you get with 2.5 inch exhaust I spent my money on suspension parts that makes my car handle better & drive quicker.

My
Wait, that CNT exhaust is $600???? I'm so ******* tempted

Does it sound good? I like somewhat quiet (but gnarly) exhausts at low/idle, that sort of give a growl/track sound when on throttle.

Why should or should i not look into this one?

I didn't like the flanges, they are cast not plate steel. Also it's not a 2 1/2 exhaust. It's full 2 1/4 inch exhaust. Sounds good, sounds better with res test pipes.

Bottom of page is sound bites: CNT RACING 09-11 Nissan 370z Bolt on catback Exhaust system

I have had mine for about a year, doesn't drag on speed bumps. If i could afford it I would have a ARC Grip.

It sounds really really nice. Like stock but louder.

Do you know if there are any HP gains? I want to get the FI test pipes to avoid a CEL, I'm hoping they'll sound good together.

I'm tight on money but really aching to put stuff into the new whip, what do you recommend?

I'm planning a drop on Swift's, with 20MM spacers and some ARP extended studs. Does the exhaust really bottom out like that on these cars?

I may drop the extra on the ARK or FI depending on what I decide. I'd go non resonated test pipes preferably. I love loud but hate drone.

Not to my knowledge because of the size of the spacer. Maybe if you were doing like a 10 or 15mm, but I don't think so on a 20mm.

I've had friends with non-ARP studs snap repeatedly, so I'm just doing a stud replacement to run through the spacers as opposed to bolt-on spacers that have their own built in lugs. It's a lot more money but the quality is significantly better.

O that makes sense, I only have 15mm spacers an arp was too long...
so I used the h&r replacement studs.
I hate whoever thought that washer style lugs were a good idea

I'm on Swifts with FI CBE and don't have any scraping issues with it....unless its a large speed bump. My front lip scrapes more than anything else

Hmm. How much for the 2nd one? The aftermarket head unit in my car is sub-par.
