Review: MotorDyne Shockwave))) E370 Exhaust

Staples · 04-03-2012, 07:54 PM

Beautiful update! That's exactly what I was looking for. It sounds aggressive at wide open, but semi "tame" at regular throttle.

Sounded Great

Great write up. I'm a new Z owner. This is my daily driver and I'm looking to just get a nice deep sound from the car at WOT and spirited driving, but don't want drone, hissing, and a loss of low end torque (which is how you win light to light). With no other mods to the car, would this be a good choice for an aftermarket setup? Not worried about gaining HP, as long as I don't lose it. I often drive with my daughter in the car with me on the weekends, so crazy loud is not an option. Your thoughts.

@ cold start this thing can be loud. There is little to no drone and no hissing, but the volume might be loud for you. As far as catbacks go, this isn't the quietest system. And I wouldn't worry about losing any power on this over a stock exhaust. I can't tell what you define as too loud though. Have you heard any other Z exhausts in person that you can compare to?

MaDMaXX · 04-07-2012, 11:50 PM

This system should provide what you're after, few can give the deep note without the hiss/drone.

If you're fitting to a catted system, the volume should be ok, if you're running TP's already, or want to run ART pipes, you might want to consider the HFC module for the shockwave system.

MaDMaXX · 04-09-2012, 10:28 PM

If you want a little less volume, you can add the HFC module to this system.

Alfamale · 04-10-2012, 02:06 AM

I'm sold. Just 1 quick Qs: any hint of rasp? I'll coupled it with ART pipes..

Boost_lee · 04-10-2012, 02:22 AM

what you hear is what I hear

no rasp for me on ART V1's

sfearl1 · 04-10-2012, 12:02 PM

wish this car came from the factory w/ a snail. mine will have a single soon.

wait, i see what you did there...

edub370 · 04-11-2012, 11:14 AM

Get a baseline and go from there. that way u will have an idea of whata to expect from your gains

MyKindaGuise · 04-11-2012, 01:24 PM

Excellent review! All the videos and different sounds kick major *** and will be extremely helpful...however now I am torn in what direction to go...

I am looking at this exhaust and the Exotic Speed Titan R II. Anyone have any recommendations on which route to go. Both sound killer and have great gains. My only draw back is how limited the info is on the Titan R II. Could really use some fellow Z owner peer pressure and second opinions (:

Very nice exhaust, any reason why it's priced almost $400 more than its competitors?

The comparative dyno in this thread is one first pull compared on a uncontrolled test basis so I wouldn't put much into it.

As for the difference in cost.

1) Its made in the Los Angeles, USA.
2) Its taken to a much higher level of polishing. Its not just quickly buffed. They go through 4 stages of finishing to achieve a deep polish.
3) Its taken to a much higher level of TIG welding.
4) It uses triple layered flex lines for flexibility without turbulence or whistling.
5) It uses V-band flanges and clamps.
6) It uses predominantly dual 3" Stainless Steel 304 tubing (for greater power capacity in the 8-15 PSI boost applications).
7) It is modular so it can have additional resonators or HFC's built into the mid pipes.
8) It can easily be converted to a full dual 3" exhaust for very high HP capacity.
9) It comes with 2 different pairs of adjustable/removable titanium and Stainless tips for different looks.

No other 370Z exhaust can do all this.

The above are real cost drivers for features not seen in any other exhaust.

The Shockwave))) E370 is the best exhaust available to the 370Z.

Enough for me!

Just placed my order. Thanks Tony, and Boost props on the great review!
