Motordyne ART pipes + which catback?

Joey370Z · 05-22-2016, 08:47 PM

I am thinking of getting an ARK grip catback system. My current setup is AAM resonated short tails and ART pipes, I looove the sound and loudness along with the gurgle but at around 3-4k RPM's it's just drone city. I am wondering people's opinions about what to pair the ART pipes with. As I read its always ARK and F.I. catbacks fighting lol so please give me some feedback! What I want is a decently loud/deep note that is aggressive at WOT but with less drone. I love the downshift noise in my 6MT syncro as well (my fav part). Gurgle is a plus for sure. Comments questions concerns please!

I have the FI non res catback with ART Pipes and love it. It is loud at WOT while not being so loud in the low revs it is annoying. It has pretty much no drone while cruising and you can still talk to passengers without yelling. It has the hiss, but anything catback will with art pipes.

Motordyne E370 and Art pipe is best combination for the 370Z IMO. I've had the exact setup you're looking to get art pipe + ark grip. It sounded great. Very minimal droning, I didn't even notice it much, it is tame at cruising speed but roars once opened up. Honestly, I sort of miss that set up from time to time but I wanted a more aggressive tone so I am running a temporary set up now while saving for an new E370, it is not cheap. If you're tight on budget go for the ark grip.

E370 hands down. Its my set up now and I love it

Either go full motordyne or full fast intentions setup with these cars. For the price I went with full fast intentions but if I already had the art pipes I'd buy the motordyne catback.

What do you guys think about the ARK grip loudness with ART pipes? Big factor for me is keeping a nice roar but a little tame. I love a huge roar when opening up and love the sound of downshifting with gurgle. Will I keep all that minus some drone with the ARK grip?

my vote goes to motordyne e370 exhaust to go along with the art pipes!

But how loud is the ARK grip compared to the E370? I need details =]
