HFC + Muffler Delete - just need some wisdom

Then you should probably change your plans. That's going to be loud as hell.

even with FI?

Yes change your plans it will be very loud. There are some catback exhausts you could go with that are not too loud. Don’t do a muffler delete or headers if that is what you are looking for. If you install HFC’s I would install the AAM Competition HFC’s since they lasted the longest in my experience. Definitely try to find some other people with Z’s and hear their exhaust in person or check out YouTube and hear some sound clips it should help you find the exhaust you like. Look at different brand catback exhausts.

Ok. So. I'm guessing - you have to go loud if you want better performance, without going SC or TT - right?


Also doing a muffler delete won't help with performance?

I have the Stillen long tube intakes, FI LTH's, 12 resonators, and cbe, match ported intakes, plus tune. My Z makes 334HP, it is a bit loud, and has some drone about around 2,500 rpm's. A good cbe will make the same hp as a muffler delete.

If you change anything in your exhaust it will be louder. If you install a muffler delete your Z will be louder and have more volume as well. You can pick up some power by installing an exhaust but you have to make the sacrifice that your exhaust note will change. I have seen people get any where between 5-8 whp on the dyno from a muffler delete it depends. I think the best muffler delete for our cars is the AAM Competition short tail exhaust (muffler delete).

Thanks for the info - so would you recommend CBE + HFC - or HFC + Muffler delete.

Speaking in terms of power - CBE + HFC will provide more correct?

I've driven on Berk HFCs for roughly a year after owning the vehicle along with AAM Comp Short Tails and have to say I love the note and a tune will immediately push it to the next level.

That being said I was looking for a bit more power without sounding like a hot boi around my town so I converted to ISR Resonated Test Pipes along with my AAM comp and it sounds beautiful and allows for that much more airflow. If you don't mind loud occasionally it's a great combo to have. I melted my HFCs due to use and constant driving conditions so it was a no brainer for me to move to Res TP.
