Exhaust Exhaust Exhaust - Which one?

CrownR426 · 01-06-2011, 06:12 PM

I'd recommend the Stillen CBE + Berk HFC.
Very nice gains, looks somewhat stock other than the 4.5'' tips and a very pleasant sound that makes you smile.

Does the Stillen without HFC have any drone? I'm also looking in to HKS but the blue tips are kind of putting me off a little...

ARK has the polished version which I have. GT haus and HKS are all 1800+ exhaust compared to other brands which are at a more reasonable range.

I have my ARK lowered on KW V3's. No scrapes yet in the mean street of LA

I am looking for an Exhaust which delivers decent performance gains (doesn't have to be the biggest gains) but does not have an annoying drone - I basically want to give it a factory performance exhaust note under acceleration. Whilst cruising I dont want it to annoy the **** out of me however I do want it to sound a little sportier so I am open for it to be a little louder on crusing at normal speeds as well but not mind blowing as I do drive a roadster with a soft top roof.

Any feedback or advise would be greatly appreciated. If anyone can also provide me with a few links of where to buy these in the US or Australia that would be great as well as I want to do something in the next few days! Happy to ship from US to AU if needed.

I have no shame recommending our system. We have sold over 260 systems in just over 18 months! I can deliver a system to you that will take your stock exhaust note and make it deeper, smoother and fuller. We are able to achieve this without (re-defining) the way your car sounds! I have a small number of customers with roadsters and have received zero complaints of drone.

My recommendation is as follows:

1) Leave the stock cats on the car.
2) Go with our 18" resonated x pipe and stainless steel mufflers.

I feel in the end you will be able to achieve what you are going for. You will also maximize your performance with our system. I have sold close to (25) 370Z systems to customers all over Australia. I am sure there has to be someone close to you for a test in person.

Here is a direct link to our exhaust page: http://www.fastintentions.com/produc...products_id=14

If you have any questions regarding our exhaust products please feel free to ask...

Thank you, Tony

Tony is right, his system is very nice and might be less expensive than the HKS. Two of my friends have the F.I. systems on their Z's and they love them. Both of them, however, have bottomed them out on the roads here in Alberta and have scratches and dents. It does sit lower on the car than the HKS. As for looks and sound though, they are killer! Not a LOT more aggressive than the HKS, but different. And I like the tips on the F.I. WAY better!

Having said that, my system with the BERK HFC's and the HKS is very efficient and I have free'd up a tonne of horsepower. I will have to dyno it this year to find out how much more. With an HFC and the exhaust, I still think my sound is less aggressive under full throttle than the F.I., yet still has amazing tone and depth in normal driving. No rasp and no drone. Sorry Tony!, but the drone of the F.I. (with HFC's or test pipes) at highway speeds is too much for me to take. I have ridden in my friends Z and the difference is HUGE.
