mellow exhaust options?

r1eater · 01-30-2012, 10:03 PM

Whats a good semi quiet exhaust out there for the 370z? I'm picking mine up tomorrow and the first thing I'll be doing is probably a CBE. I dont want something thats too loud especially in the inside. Any suggestions from you seasoned Z owners out there? BTW I was thinking of going wiht the HKS Dual Hi Power Ti Exhaust System.

that will give you a nice tone without being overly obnoxious. im running CNT's system which is mostly moddled after the HKS/ARK's exhaust and it is very mellow when u want it to be, but can also really open up when u get in to it,

Ark is coming up with their type 1 soon. Suppose to be a bit more mellow than the type 2 but i personally like the sound of the type 2. Btw the cnt exhaust does sound nice.

An oem nismo exhaust is pretty quiet and can be had for pretty cheap used.

I still have no regrets installing a Tanabe. Love it.

Your best bet is going to be go to the Intake/Exhaust section, and read the stickies that are at the top for a reason. Then go through and pick out all of the <50 post 'Which is the best exhaust?' threads. This question has been asked numerous times. And now I'm fairly certain we have every single taste/look/wallet combination identified as which would be the best for them.

Or the Search feature is a great tool to help you figure out where to look instead.

check out the exhaust poll to see what everyone on here goes with

Oem nismo and invidia Gemini are both pretty mild.

Cristobal09 · 01-31-2012, 12:25 PM

I have the gemini, its definitley the quietest ive heard, next to the Nismo

Erik@RTTuning · 01-31-2012, 12:30 PM

I have yet to have a customer tell me that they didn't love their Invidia Gemini when they were shopping for something pretty subtle.

daisuke149 · 01-31-2012, 12:32 PM

ARK Type 1 or Type 2. And then the TopSpeed Exhaust.

All have a really awesome mellow tone on it while driving, but also get really sweet when you get on it. But still not loud. And no drone in the cabin at all.

batman_4 · 01-31-2012, 12:34 PM

Invidia or Tanabe.

Unique_Z · 01-31-2012, 12:51 PM

Definitely Invidia Gemini, i had it with Stillen Gen 3 intakes and once i hit 4k they roars up to life! but stays calm under 3k

2012z · 01-31-2012, 04:18 PM

I have Topspeed Pro 1....Great tone..no in cabin drone. great price...

roplusbee · 01-31-2012, 05:45 PM

I mean, wouldn't they all be somewhat mellow if you stay under 4k? I have the F.I. TDX w/ 18" resonators and it growls a bit, but mild until you give it some juice. Then it really wakes up!

Unless he is going with the AAM short tails, almost any of the exhaust choices will fit the bill. Especially, if he keeps it in the low RPM range...............
