One additional thing I wanted to compare between the units was the overall design for the X pipe/flow.

The FI exhaust has longer primary tubes that run through their X pipe:




I have not seen pics of the inner works of their X pipe, so this is was it looks like:




Kind of hard to see when looking down through the inlet pipes, but it appears to be a 3 to 4" oval cut opening where the 2 pipes merge.



The Motordyne unit takes a more direct/forced path and the point of merge is about 6-12 inches closer to the cats/test pipes:



YXZpipe merge


Muffler divider


I don't know how each setup differs in performance, flow, or sound, but I though it was interesting to note.

what? how does ur car shoot flames ?

TerribleONE

its not that uncommon. any straight piped exhaust and a little extra fuel will do this!

Yeah, usually, the cat will burn anything left over, so running test pipes will allow the fuel through to flames under certain conditions.

so overall would you say the e370 is better? im planning on getting a cbe and cant decide between this and F.I.

MaDMaXX

By the report, it sounds like (pun intended) that MD is the better of the two. There is a lot to be said on how happy the sound makes you everytime you drive a car

Boost_lee

Overall, the MD is a better choice for me. Sound was what I was looking for. Power, longevity, price, etc...I can't say which system is better for you Both are great!

Sounds amazing boost, how much louder do you think the E370 exhaust is compared to an FI 12" resonated exhaust?

Boost_lee

I'd say its probably closer to the non-resonated sound wise. A local member here has FI LTH's with a non-res FI CBE, and we might be at the same sound level (no proof).

I tell ya, ever since I added ART pipes to my TDXv2 (350z) I have never, literally never stop hearing compliments from totally random people who just get a small sample of the tone my exhaust gives off. This sounds pretty similar, and hope you enjoy it! Great write up by the way.

Here's a driving video of the Motordyne exhaust. Consists of a flyby followed by a spirited drive-by.
Ends with a few revs. (2K, 3K, 4K, 5.5K, redline)
Enjoy
