Exotic sound?

check out my exhaust... It sounds like we kinda were after the same sound... I wanted deep smooth exotic and loud but with absolutely no rasp... http://www.the370z.com/intake-exhaus...-drifting.html

At stock ride height you have a little under 4" of clearance IIRC.

It depends on how low you go.

well you WILL have to be more carefull. I had thin tired on 19 inches and it was hard to not scrape my front and back. went from 275/45/19 to 295/30/19

but my stockers back on untill I can buy some 20 inch rims and 40 thick tires so it fills up the wheelarches nicely without having problems with lowering it abit

I THINK its one of the lowest one. but it is absolutely worth it.

great noise, good price and excellent customer service which is actually one of the most important things if you want to buy one.

what is the point of buying an exhaust and the company doesn't let you know when there are delays or email you back

I love my Stillen, but I'd have to say that if you're looking for "exotic" then Berk or FI should be your first choice. I've heard them both in person and I think it would be exactly what you're looking for.
