Smiled when I just saw this posted all these years later. I went a little different route with my 2nd Nismo however still went with Fast Intentions for the cat back exhaust, just non-resonated paired with Motordyne headers this time.

I just moved back to the same area I shot this video. This spring I’m going to go back and re-create with my new setup for direct comparison.

That is still my favorite exhaust after all these years. That is why I have a Carbon Fiber muffler 3in. exhaust on my car now.

Man this video is making me second guess wanting a motordyne. I'm seriously torn on the motordyne over the fast intentions. My plus for the motordyne the sound is exotic and no drone negative is I've heard it's insanely loud and don't really want to have to deal with getting a ticket for it. The plus for the fast intentions is it sounds deep, and it's quieter (can anyone give me a good idea of how much quieter?). Negative is the drone at cruising speed. I've watched every video and still can't decide.

, and depends on what highway speed you go because i think 55-65 is drone. May be high too, I don’t remember.

Sometimes i wonder if my ART pipes are real because it has so much drone and people claim ART pipes reduce drone compared to hfc or test pipes, meaning their heads probably explode on a daily basis.

The idle and natural backfires are nice

I thought ART pipes remedied rasp rather than drone. I had ART pipes with my Top Speed exhaust and Motordyne exhaust and it deepened the sound from my Circuit Werks. I did not have drone with either exhaust also. I drive 120 miles daily for work and its mostly hwy so I stay in the 3k-4k rpm range. But I also have a G37 so maybe the extra sound deadening makes the difference.

I loved my Motordyne exhaust on my G37. I think paired with HFC, sound volume won't be too bad.

I had a Motordyne CBE on my 350z with Art pipes, and my wife has a MD CBE on her G37.

-If you're keeping stock cats, the drone isn't bad, although it is definitely present.
-If you're getting rid of cats, expect drone at highway speeds.

It is significantly louder than a Fast Intentions. My FI even with long tube headers is about 82-85 dB inside the car with the tester near head level. I'll check my wife's car, if you PM me a reminder, but it's not much quieter and she's inside a better insulated cabin and still has OEM cats. I'd guess my 350z was 90-95 dB under load.
