Any suggestions for Exhaust+Intake combo?

AdamX · 05-31-2011, 01:37 AM

Hey, guys!
I have a quick question for everyone who is willing to help me out.

Here it goes:
I use my 7AT Z as a daily drive and planning to get my hands
on a set of exhaust and intake.

Any suggestions about what kind of combo i should get?

I know you may ask about what kind of price range i am talking about, but honestly, i have no idea.

Thanks in advance.

Are you looking for performance/exhaust note/looks?

In my case the sound of the exhaust is the most important

Personally I wouldn't spend the money on the intake -- from what I've read one here, the stock setup is very efficient. To me, why spend hundreds of dollars for a few HP? There is a setup using tubes and K&N filters that is maybe $200 or so all together.

As far as exhaust, I would go with fast intentions. But there are a lot of good ones out there. There are plenty of exhaust threads on here for you to take a look at..

go with these (i got rid of my life sucking takedas and got the hps tubes) and fast intentions catback w/ no resonators

you will love the sound!
My new HPS post MAF tubes installed

+1 for the post-MAF tubes. Add to that some K&N or AFE drop-in filters plus your exhaust of choice. I would do a search in this forum and on youtube for a general idea of sound. I went with the EBay y-pipe (Surewin) and Top Speed catback exhaust due to the fact that I didn't want it overly loud for my DD. I am very happy with the sound and affordability. It gave the car a nice kick in the pants performance-wise as well.

Hope this helps!!

HPS tubes or G3's for intake.

Exhaust is personal preference. Common choices that are safe are: Berk, Stillen, FI.

I personally run the Invidia Gemini and I am a big fan. It's not as loud as some of the other options, and has a more mature sound that still gets loud when you get on it. No rasp, and less drone than any other aftermarket option I have heard.

I can help you more if you know the sound you are looking for!

are you ready for his response?

if you want to spend a good amount of money on intakes, get the stillen g3s. if you dont then keep stock and get k&n drop ins. for exhuast, so many choices and they all give different sounds and so on and so forth. but i say fast intentions, stillen (hate the tips though)or greddy.

I can help you with both the exhaust and intakes. First and foremost, please check out my exhaust if you have not already:

Fast Intentions

Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

Once you have a chance to see those links, you will notice we have many options to try and appeal to as many people as possible.

Now if you like what you see and would like to discuss it further than please do not hesitate to call me directly. If and when we talk on the phone, I will go over some intake recommendations that I have.

I look forward to hearing from you...

Thanks, Tony

Agreed on both.

I have Invidia now and it sounds fantastic, refined, and mature as you put it.

The invidia is the exhaust that should have come on the car from the factory IMO.

AlphaSnacks · 05-31-2011, 06:10 PM

I said the same. Maybe just a tad quieter for factory and general customer purposes...but yep. Still not sure how the 370Z sounds so lame stock compared to the 350Z.
