it all depends on what you are looking for in an exhaust.

Tomei is a single exhaust. It is loud... like really loud. if you plan on changing the cats or headers, then it will be insanely loud and probably drone/rasp (you'd have to ask an actual tomei owner on this one). and some people dont like the look of a single exhaust, but looks are subjective. if you go for the cat-back, it is a few hundred cheaper than the motordyne cat-back. tomei also weighs a lot less, the cat-back system saves like 50 lbs over stock (but some will say that the weight loss is down low and towards the back so it is really no benefit when it comes to center of gravity)

I think motordyne is a very nice sounding exhaust, cant go wrong with motordyne. they have a lot of options when it comes to resonators to eliminate drone, if thats important to you.

I got the Tomei combo with HFC and stock headers. It's racing loud, in fact that exhaust is recommended only for off the streets, but who cares. I have isolated my trunk with dynamat, look it up here under exterior/interior subforum, and I'm content with the noise level inside the car. I'm used to how loud it is and it doesn't bother me anymore or am I going deaf?


p.s. stay tuned for updates in the coming week/s when I'll replace a bunch top secret stuff.

OP, I haven't heard the two exhausts you're asking about but the best one I have heard (and now own) is the HKS Hi-Power catback. It's the exhaust Nissan should have put on the car to begin with.

I know there's a TON of exhaust threads bit I haveby really found the answer to what I'm looking for (or maybe I just over looked it) but which one has a deeper tone, FI or motordyne? I'm going to pair it with ART pipes

What made you gravitate to those in the first place? Not that they are bad by any means, it just might help us to give you more focused insight rather then generalities.

the youtube clips are a good reference. see if you can find anyone local with those exhausts/set ups to hear them in person. the audio quality of exhaust notes is well.. $hit. mind you they may not have the exact set-up you are going for but atleast get a reference point of what they sound like through the RPM band

good luck with your choice!

I wish I could find some local guys that had these exhausts but I hardly ever see Z's around here. Ive seen one nismo and about 4 base models/roadsters. But I think I just might go with the motordyne. I ran their exhaust w/ ART pipes on my G and I loved it!
