[Official] "Which Exhaust Should I Buy for My 370z?" Thread
 

Since I have had to merge about 5 "which exhaust should I buy" threads in the last two days, I decided to make an official thread.


Have at it

Which Exhaust should i choose for my 370z?
 

I was just wondering on opinions and experiences you all might have for an new exhaust for my fairly new 370z... Hopefully i will be deciding soon on which to get and well be the first installment to my z :)

I got the GTHaus Meisterschaft exhaust. Its beasty, i love it. But if loud isnt what you want...then this is a bad choice haha.

A lot of people really favor the Fast Intentions CBE with the Berk HFC. Which exhaust to purchase is an EXTREMELY personal choice though which makes it very difficult to know what's best for you. You really cannot simply go by what someone else thinks is best. Your best bet is to go to your local car shows/meets and physically hear the setups that other Z owners have. Your next option obviously is to listen to the sticky Exhaust Clip Database:

My Berk CBE serves me well.

Non, some much better without one










lmao

Invidia
 

The Invidia Gemini for cost and looks I only paid 750 for one that retailed for 1250.

I have the GT HAUS CBE (tail piece) and it sounds mean. No drone in the cabin but if you get up into the 3.5+ RPMS it screams! Still debating on getting the mid or not. Most HP gain comes from that but IDK about the noise lol.

maaaybe if you told us what your looking for in an exhaust?

loud?
raspy?
quiet?
drone?
looks?
deep?
high pitch?

:iagree:

I have the Agency Power CBE and love it. At a couple of the meets I’ve taken a few people for rides so they can hear what the exhaust sounds like in while in the car. :tup:

The Meisterschaft is way too loud so unless you track or live out in the boonies I would not get it. JMHO been there done that got the loud exhaust letter from HOA. :gtfo2:

Check out the sticky on the top of the Exhaust section for videos and do the homework. You will find the right one.

Sorry folks, but Invidia is the way to go in terms of looks, cost, and sound. It's the goldilocks of exhausts... juuuuuuuuuust right in every category mentioned ;)

See my thread for more pics and sound clips.

I have the Fast Intentions Long Tube Headers and CBE and couldn't be happier. :tup:

But Exhausts is purely subjective and it all depends. Do your research before just signing off because someone else really likes their setup.

i love my ark.

berk for sure!

:tup: If you can get one.....

to be honest i am kind of a noob to this haha but i have a really bitchy neighbor that complains about everything literally T_T.... maby not so loud when the revs are low but are on higher revs... i was looking at the HKS Hi Power and injen but idk

Tell them to foot the bill with a quiet exhaust then. Otherwise screw what they think. They don't pay your house note/car payment. :tup:

Must I post this for you yet again? Did you see my post in the previous page?

My opinion of what you should do is attached to my car...

:driving:

which exhaust is this...it looks sweet haha

HKS Hi Power. the resonator design fits exactly what you described wanting, quiet in low rpm but comes alive at WOT, the design allows lower speed of exhaust gas (lower rpm) to utilize the second canister on top of the muffler and keeps sound down, but when you have higher exhaust gas speeds (higher rpm) the canister on top of the muffler is bypassed and the volume is obviously increased.

sounds perfect haha any cons tho? how big of a gain is their when added?

No cons, it is an expensive exhaust. I would say ballpark 10-15whp but I really could not tell you without putting the car on a dyno, I just did this for the sound not gains.

how much does the HKS go for? and yea thats what im trying to do but if im getting something i minus well get all my moneys worth ahah

I think the gains for any good standard CBE is about 7-10whp if at all... I got it more for the sound, than the power gains. Stock was just wayyyy too quiet. Sounds like Chewbacca too.... :( I missed my stock G35C sound. Now THAT was sexy.

No cons whatsoever for me. Love my Titanium tips too. Good aggressive sound below 3k rpm, then melodic above 3k.

DH, that's a nice HKS Hi Power exhaust.... am I right?

also, I have to respond to your other thread for a get together. There's another guy on here, srbrubak, has a blue Z. On this forum too. There's 3 more z's in our area, but I don't know them yet. One of them has a roadster, and he's pretty ancient, so I'm sure he ain't going to be in to this kind of stuff like we are.

:tup: :iagree: :happydance:

Give us a call if you have any questions about anything.

even with just the GTHAUS muffler part alone..i have people whip their heads around like "WTF is that a ferrari!?"
it sound's very exotic...i will be recording a video clip of it hopefully tonight or tomorrow so you can hear how bone stock sounds with it. i love it.

Posts like these make me grin so hard. My GTHaus system is coming in tomorrow. I ordered all 3 sections. :rock:

:tup:

We carry a few exhausts for the 370Z. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions or need a shipping quote.

:happydance: feelin like a little kid on christmas?

All three sections...that is gonna SCREAM!

Dude how are you running that exhaust in Cali? I got the same setup but I paired it with Fast Intentions Long Tube headers because it wasn't loud enough. I don't know about you but for me, when driving normally and shifting around 3700 it stays quiet enough to avert the police. However, approach redline and it will blast the ear drums of surrounding motorists, its not nearly as loud in the cabin.

OP, the most popular ones are Fast Intentions, Stillen, ARK and Berk check out some sound clips and see what works for you, however if I was you I'd first invest in some motordyne art pipes, they have stellar reviews.

Every time I think of going out and making a sound clip of I think of what will happen if the local PD finds me on youtube. I've been chased for miles at times by people to simply tell me, dude I'm feeling your car.

I prefer HKS and what do you know...mine is for sale. Check the private classifieds section :tups:

I saw the one guy who had an Invidia with the ART test pipes... it sounded REALLY nice .... very exotic IMO. I wonder what sort of gains that would yield?

I also am considering a F.I. exhaust which yields about 20 hp, more if their test pipes are used.

all the vendors are here... thought I'd offer my services
