Exhaust decision to be made....>>>>>assistance needed
 
Hey everyone,

As most of you on this forum I find the stock 370z exhaust to be, well.... very boring and bla. :shakes head:

My Z is currently tucked away for the winter but it will be coming back out again in about 2 months or so.. I am definetly looking to order an exhaust very soon. I am looking to drop right around $1000 and not much more then that, I am not looking for crazy HP gains of funky tubing just a nicer exhaust sound. Please give me your professional and honest oppinion on the exhausts that i have so far selected and please also feel free to add to the list while keeping my price point in mind.

WHICH WOULD YOU GO FOR AND WHY?

1. Agency Power ($899)

2. Invidia Gemini ($999)

3. Invidia Q300 ($999)

I find the Agency power to sound much deeper and more growly then the Invidia's. Does anyone have soundclips of these 3 exhausts they can post other then the ones that are alread on youtube that kinda suck....I am also looking to find out where to get pricing on the Meisterchaft rear section only exhaust... I have looked everywhere online and cant find a thing..does anyone have any idea on what the pricing would be like for that???

:ugh2::ugh2::ugh2:

Are you mainly looking for sound or power? Invidia gemini is a great exhaust.. sounds better than stock..not too loud.For the meisterchaft exhaust rear section, just go to their website. the price + shipping is around 1500 but ask for best price..really good axle back system..

Kastley85891 01-23-2011 05:31 PM

Ouf of your 3 I would say the Gemini, and yes I have had one.
To add to your 3, I would say a STILLEN sounds pretty good if you must spend a G, look in the classifieds.
Personally I would spend less and get a decent sound for half that.

Red__Zed 01-23-2011 06:04 PM

Gemini, and you can easily get it for $200 less from a forum vendor.

Hey guys, thank you for all your honest help. I am mainly just looking for sound. I would like something that is loud but also tasteful... i will try the meisterchaft website as you suggested.

Thanks,

Do you find it to be quiet and too similar to the stock exhaust?

Kastley85891 01-24-2011 07:29 AM

Run it with HFC or TP, trust me with TP, its no where near quiet.

TP with GEMINI here.

I've had the Q300 and now have the Gemini. I've heard the Agency Power here first hand.
The Gemini is the best one! Get HFCs and the sound is very good!!

It's perfect for me. Sounds stock at low rpms and agressive at WOT. May be too quiet for some.

docaam should have a video of his setup.

Sounds real good inside the car. Do you have any video of outside the car? If not can you please post one?

g35300mm 01-25-2011 06:49 AM

I am trying to find a video clip of the Agency power exhaust but i cant seem to find much. All there is are the same 2 that are posted up on youtube.. the red automatic Z :shakes head: and the blue one which the quality of the vid is kinda crap. It seems like many people have this exhaust... any more vids?>

Also, i am looking for a clip of the HKS Legamax, i wouldnt mind hearing that since it falls in my price range.

Thanks

Kastley85891 01-25-2011 11:14 AM

Best I have posted here... hope they help, remember this was with TP's.

I can not do fresh video as I no longer have the setup.

The Gemini replaced the Q300 due to the raspiness!! If you find the Q300 cheap on Ebay, don't buy it!! Get the Gemini! I had the Q300 and ended up buying the Gemini.

Yup, Kevr is correct. The Q300 on VQ V6 engines had a raspiness. I have a Q300 for my FX45. That raspiness was not inherent in the VK V8 engine. The twin pipes go into one larger muffler and the exhaust note isn't as loud as that of the Gemini (not that the Gemini is really loud). But I agree, go with the Gemini (i.e. new and improved).

Kastley85891 01-26-2011 07:05 AM

Mine was Gemini - 849 shipped

Phone these guys, ask to speak to Kirill tell them Keith sent ya, see what they can do...
