Custom exhaust [Review]

Gunzero · 04-24-2010, 10:57 AM

So, the stock exhaust was very disappointing. Living here in Texas, there are Ford minivans that sound sportier than the 370z. I went to some random shop and asked them to make my exhaust louder. Tell me what you think of the sound?
The sound is way deeper than the stock exhaust and way much louder. The first time I started it up.. WOW!

I couldn't be any happier. It really woke my baby up. The loudness is just right.. I was afraid that it would sound annoying, but wow. It's simply music to my ears!

Yeah, nice job!! Well, not you...lol....but to the the shop that built you this. It sounds pretty good. I can't point my finger on it but it kind of sounds like the BERK or F.I. for that matter.

Sounds a lot like a Berk, Stillen or FI for that matter. Two thumbs up to the installers. It would be great to get some details and pics up for folks to see what was done. It would be hot to see a dyno too, lol. One never knows...

Nice Improvement Gunzero.
Just keep saving what ever you can for the next Mod.

STi 5 · 04-24-2010, 11:54 AM

Do you have pics, I would like to see what they did just out of curiosity.

UFreefer · 04-24-2010, 11:54 AM

What changes did they make to the exhaust? New muffler, larger piping etc...

Jeffblue · 04-24-2010, 11:58 AM

sounds very nice, but the video is kind of echo-y

Gunzero · 04-24-2010, 12:09 PM

Actually guys

I just wanted to find out what you guys would say. Yea it does sound like a Berk/Stillen exhaust.
*prepares to get flamed* This is all they did. Got the idea from ddharon.
I am really happy.. Doesn't matter if I got any gains or not. It sounds delicious.
I am saving up for more important things in life. So this $20.00 mod was well worth it.

m4a1mustang · 04-24-2010, 12:14 PM

So why did you pay them to do that? LOL That's a very simple DIY

It does sound good, though.

Trips · 04-24-2010, 12:17 PM

Its that the only thing you can afford then good for you!

Gunzero · 04-24-2010, 12:40 PM

they added spacer washer to make the exhaust leak a little

Gunzero · 04-24-2010, 01:52 PM

Yea just replace the gasket with 4-5 washers and that's it!

NYBladeZ · 04-24-2010, 06:06 PM

I'll keep saying it, the stock exhaust really comes alive with some test pipes
