Need some help picking which exhaust out of these :)
 

So I'm pretty new here. I joined awhile back, but I'm rarely on here. Work gets in the way of so many things lol. But anyway I have the 2010 base model and the only mod I have so far is the K&N Typhoon intake. At first I was going to get the Stillen Gen 3, but there's no way I'm gonna take off the front bumper just to clean the filter. I'm way too lazy for all that lol. I already know that I will not get the car boosted and I'm not going to get HFC's either. I might, but I seriously doubt that I'll get headers. I'm not all that conserned about speed, if I wanted to go fast I have a bike so yeah lol. I'm mostly looking for sound when it comes to the exhaust, but do not want the ricer sound. I like the deeper and yet somewhat distinctive Z/G37 sound, if anyone else knows what I'm talking about lol :)

Anyway here's the exhaust I'm thinking of.

1. Fast Intentions TDX
2. Greddy Turbo Ti-C
3. Greddy Spectrum Elite

For each of these exhausts I have a few questions, well mostly for the first two. First with the Fast Intentions one does the Carbon Fiber muffler make any actual difference for the car, mostly soundwise or is it just lighter? Also what does the resonator do? I have completely no idea what it's supposed to do. I did read something about the 18' Resonator makes the exhaust a little quieter or at least makes it sound less like a ricer. Is this true? And is there another place to order the Fast Intentions exhaust other than their direct website? Or at least is there somewhere else that I can order it for cheaper?

2nd the Turbo Ti-C, do you have to have a turbo on the car to get it installed? Or at least is it basically pointless to have it installed if you don't have it boosted? And do you lose any power if you have it installed without it being boosted? Again I know for a fact that I will not be getting HFC's or get it boosted.

3rd the SE. I more or less just need to know others opinions on this one. I found some vids on it online and I personally just think the sound is "Ok" I'd prefer the Turbo Ti-C instead and the price difference between the two isn't that much (at least that's so far all I found online).

But anyway any help with these questions would be much appreciated :D I'm a serious newb when it comes to car stuff, but I have a decent bit of knowledge with streetbike mods :D Also is anyone on here close to the Tampa, FL area?

cant speak for the others, but i have the fi tdx

cf does nothing for performance/sound...its for looks

i have video clips in my sig of the fi so checkem out

and welcome to the neighborhood :tiphat:

If you want to stand out outta the rest get the greddy tic.

Greddy Ti C

So what is the purpose of the resonator? Does it actually tone down the sound so that it doesn't sound like a ricer? And is there anywhere else I can order it other than Fast Intentions

the 12" and 18" resonators are for toning down the sound, no rasp involved...i think it sounds exotic myself but i am biased since i own the cbe.

my cbe is non resonated so i have the loudest setup. i have stock cats, but that will change soon to hfc's.

not sure if other exhaust makers have resonators or not. sry i cant be of much help there...

heres a few places to help you get an idea:

CF is lighter than the SS. It's not just for looks.

get either FI 18 inch res with cf or greddy tic.

yeah but it's like 6 lbs less... I mean drink a gallon of water a day for a week and you'll lose that much and it won't cost you 250.00 or so dollars.

I myself really like the sound clips of the FI exhaust, and Tony is attempting to help me with what I want for something quite inside and cruising around, but not restricted to the point that the power output isn't hindered to much.

Greddy Turbo Ti-C. I love it. But I have the silencers removed on mine. So pretty loud with the TP's also.

same thing i have

Gungrave, I live in Melbourne, FL, however, you're in luck. I found a race shop in Tampa that specializes in Z's. Being that you're in Tampa, you should drive on over.

I'm not affiliated with them at all, I was researching and found them the other day.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me directly...

Thank you, Tony

Do you have any vids of it with a drive-by? I've only found a couple vids of the Ti-C, but almost all of them were just rev vids :/

Cool thanks man :) I'll have to go and check them out.

Oh trust me Tony you'll be getting a phone call from me fairly soon lol. I've been trying to search all through the forum to get info, pics and vids of all of these exhausts and yours actually have the most info :)
