Which exhaust is better

yalshaiba · 03-03-2010, 11:59 AM

Hi,
I just bought my 370Z 2010 from US and it's not shipped yet. I purchased Takeda air intake because it's easy to install.

Also I want to buy catback exhaust, so can you help me choose the best one with sound and HP it gives:
STILLEN, GReddy, Borla, Fujimura, Invidia, NISMO,HKS and 5ZIGEN

get fast intentions exhaust and there LTH's

Fast Intentions and Stillen make the same gains, with FI, you'll have to be put on a waiting list because they're made to order. Stillen looks more stock, either way you cant go wrong, leave the others alone.

What justification do you have to say...leave the 'others' alone?

I love my Invidia Gemini - Check out my post Invidia Gemini CBE & ERZ HFC Review (with db comparison)

Yalshaiba - there are enough great reviews on this site to make a justified decision. Just have to take the time to browse the video's. Really comes down to how loud you want it, price, look, etc.

Good luck!

The justification that I have is that Stillen and FI have proven independent dyno results of 15-20whp while the Invidia averages 8-10, Power and Sound is had with both, not knocking the others, but these have proven time and time again to be the best for making power, and sound great.

and are also heavy (at least the Stillen). I plan on Amuse...

Yeah, do not classify us anywhere near Stillen in terms of weight. Our system is anywhere between 10-15 lbs. lighter than stock, all depending on which options you go with.

And that is my only beef with the Stillen, which does appear to be well-designed and engineered. Unless there are reasons for the Stillen's heavier weight--pertaining to durability and reliability (valid issues, esp. important for the OP, who lives quite far away)--it makes no sense to me to ADD pounds with an aftermarket performance product. Maybe Stillen could answer?

this made my LOL, yeah 12-15 lbs is really gonna destroy your quarter mile time...

It uses larger mufflers, #1 for sound, #2 for the anti-fart can rice factor #3 looks close to OEM if you dont want the aggressive look.

Oh, well, excuse me.

Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

Red370 · 03-03-2010, 05:59 PM

No ones debating the weight, but a 15 lb. addition over stock is negligible.

To some people the weight factor is a big deciding factor. To me it is not, however I do not build these for me I build them for all of you.

Red370 · 03-03-2010, 06:31 PM

never said you didnt have a great setup Tony, its by far the best looking exhaust out there, only thing that stopped me from getting them is the stock look of the Stillen.

The Stillen tips don't look stock at all dude! Granted you don't have the FI muffler look from behind, but the Stillen tips look dramatically different than the stock tips. The Berk CBE is the visual sleeper.
