define "rice" ... tomei exhaust is very light in weight and gives the car decent power gains.. good for cars that competes and want to shave as much weight as possible to get better times.. IMO that's not rice..

OP.. these are the 2 exhaust im currently debating also and it really comes down to what you really looking for.. weight saving? looks? sound? power gains? etc.. dont let others talk you into getting the exhaust you would wanted less.. because in the end it's your car and it will cost you more money to change your mind and get the exhaust you wanted more in the first place..

essentially every decent aftermarket exhaust will give you roughly the same gains in HP/TQ.

it boils down to what do your ears get wet to

Fast Intentions with long tube headers gets my personal vote. <3

The Tomei looks like something you'd see hanging off the back of a Honda Civic with a primer coated rear bumper and shocker sticker on the back window. Total rice.

The hate is real. Then again your forum name says it all.

Do you have the tomei ?

Yes, I have the tomei and I'm happy with the sound/performance. Some of the downsides are scraping from time to time(fix it with clamps is what I've done),getting racing (not ricing) loud when you step on it, which can be bad if you are in the city. Also, I haven't found a rear 370z bumper suited for single exhaust - solution: fill the extra hole

i was thinking a rear diff cooler could fill the extra hole, like the 370z RC

I have to be honest I first thought the tomei sounded like **** until I saw some good video clips. Now I would love to hear that with my FI long tubes, screaming loud. The only thing that would stop me from getting that exhaust is the single exit and oversized muffler...

I think of cars like the fd rx7 and supra when I see the big single exhaust, but my shocker sticker was on my side window on my ek

true fact

i am currently on stock nismo exhaust.. i am leaning toward the shockwave exhaust and pair it up with the ppe long tube headers.. just because im afraid of the titanium tomei exhaust cracking on me since i have full solid suspension and motor/tans mount bushings... also the pipe by the canister hangs a little too low for my liking... but that weight saving is soooo tempting lol

OP, post up in the regional section of this site. Go to a meet and check out the exhausts in person. You will get a much better idea of what you like and don't like.
