I apologize to the OP, I got caught in a moment. Do not redirect your exhaust into the cabin as you will die. I will stop :nutswinger: and go behave myself.

For a cheap increase in volume replace the cats with High flow cats (HFC's), and if even more is desired replace the exhaust with the Berk, Stillen or F.I. Exhaust.

I for one thought "rape" was a good answer, but I will go with this

Is there a possibility the air passing by the burs from the drilling would make a high pitched noise?

I'm sure OP is a mature guy ( judging by his profile info "retired") and being serious and asked a legitimate question. If he asked this question in my350z or other Z forums, "go search noob" or "facepalm" "let me google that for you" etc are typical "expected" responses. But on the370z, I thought I have worked hard to keep my forum different than those other ones :(. We want to keep a friendly environment where we welcome everyones questions. EVERY TIME, I welcome a new member in the "Introduction" section, I clearly tell them "Please feel free to ask any question you have and we will do out BEST to answer it". If this is what they get when they DO ask it, then i must say "I'm disappointed". If it's a new question, try to answer it. If it has been answered before, point them to the right thread/post. It's very frustrating when you ask a question and it turns into a big post fest with no real info in it. This is one of the big reason I opened this forum where you can post a topic, get the answer and you don't' have to deal with off topic/sarcastic replies that you get in those "other" Z forums.


Well said AK - I do not mind the fact that the OP is asking for advise... I just mind how quickly people are ready to jump on his throat. I always felt this place was different than the other forums I frequent (or should I say have frequented)... I just hope and pray that this place never turns into one of those. We are here to help educate ppl about our cars - show off our creativity and help others learn - we are NOT here to make ourselves feel better about someone else's shortcomings...

<off topic> So the Mustangs transfer sound into the cockpit to give the driver a more connected feeling? That is kinda crazy.</off topic>

I went with the Berk Cat Back (GB#2). I like the sound of the F.I. Gemini, but I plan on lowering and that unit looks like it will have trouble with bumps, pothole, <insert random illness here>. The Stillen and Nismo units look to be similar to me, using the stock location and what looks to be stock clearance. No info on the other though. But there is a good thread that has all of the sound clips / videos in it. http://www.the370z.com/intake-exhaus...data-base.html Hope this helps you.

P.S. You gotta admit, some of that stuff above was funny. I just didn't expect to see it here.

I just got the Invidia Gemini exhaust as well as the Berk Test pipes. At first I thought the set up was too loud, but after giving it a couple of weeks, I am very pleased with the tone, volume and cost of this setup.

At idle and cruise it is a little louder than stock. On throttle it sounds fantastic. I have not had the opportunity to hear the other ones available for the car in person, but from clips I feel that I got the best bang for my buck.

Hope that helps... and next time... search a little so we don't have to have three pages of people spending as much time telling you to search as it would have taken them to give a synopsis of thier exhaust setup...

:iagree: with this setup, though the vagueness of the original post leaves a lot up to debate...

I guess it depends on "without spending a lot" means; I'd do the exhaust upgrades in stages at this point. I'm not clear on how much "bolder" or "louder" the OP might want to go, but the Invidia Gemini has definitely my vote for "bang for your buck" option. The F.I. is a great choice as well, although it's (a little) more expensive. Those are the two options I'd be considering. Berk is an upcoming one, but as it's not production ready, I can't honestly recommend it yet.

See how you like the exhaust note after putting a new CBE, then you can decide if you want RTPs or HFCs...or maybe even the LTHs.

Side note: damn guys, seriously?

Some shops won't do this because of the legality, but many will. This will be pretty loud. I'm not sure how loud you want to go, you weren't too specific. Hope this helps, feel free to search through the exhaust threads we have, they are plentiful.

I agree with the above. It was the vagueness of the OP that invited the carnage. I lurked on this site for days before I even posted anything. :tiphat:

tcarretti 12-22-2009 04:54 PM

Carnage is a choice. It took as much effort to flame as it would have to post a short, succinct answer. Not trying to bash, but EVERYONE has been a noob at some point, in some respect. And even if the question has been asked since Jesus bought His 370... I'm sure the right question would be "what would Jesus do?"...

He'd pull over and answer the question with a smile....

Anyone else could choose simply to ignore the OP's post and move on.

Just my .02...

Well... if a cheap mod is what the OP is after, might I suggest the following ghetto style.

1. Remove the stock resonators and replace with a straight thru pipe.
2. Cut open the stock mufflers and replace the original buffering material with a less insulated one. Weld back the cuts.

I'm not sure how that'd sound, but I'm certain there'd be an increase in the exhaust volume and note.

He could just catch someone selling a NISMO stock exhaust or someone after they switch CBEs. Just a thought.

Mod don't scared. Scared don't mod.
In any case, the OP is not from Singapore, so our gov't wouldn't give two hoots about it. ;)
