My GF and I just finished up the CBE install. Let me tell you -- I have two HFCs that will go unused!!!

The 18" res are PERFECT. We had and still have some fitment issues, but I'll deal with getting the tips lined up right sometime later. It's raining now and I just don't wanna. Sounds great, though. Just loud enough without being too much. It is about as loud as I expected it to be with the HFCs, which surprised me.

Startup and idle are actually louder than two Z's I know with HFCs and the AAM CBE. Very deep and rich! (For a V6, 5L V8 driving GF says).

I love it! Will try to get some videos later when we have nicer weather.

So are you going with just the CBE and no HFC's?

Most likely. I might hold on to the HFCs for a bit to decide if I want to try them out or not. But most likely not. The 18" CBE alone is plenty loud enough.

I fired the car up and was like, "wait, did I install the HFCs and forget about it?"

fiddy bones for dem hfc's!

spearfish25 · 09-26-2009, 03:58 PM

Done, I'm getting the 18" resos with SS mufflers. No HFCs.

KDO, the washer technique is to shift the tips toward the midline? Do you think this is something that could be fixed with just loosening the bolts throughout the CBE and readjusting them?

the washers adjusted my right tip lower so it would match the left tip in regards to height...i didnt notice any left or right movement...

some folks havent had to use the washers...you may be one of those few, luck of the draw i guess, although i have thought about re aligning the entire cbe to see if that fixes it...but havent had time to do it lately, and i want to use a lift if/when i get around to it...

Both Aus370 and myself had to add a few washers to the right side as well. On Aus's car we used 3 washers and mine was 2 (Tony included them, nice touch mate). Once these were added, it seems to align them perfectly thats for sure.

Every time I drive down a street every head in the street turns. I may have to order some HFC depending on how much grief I get from the oinkers.

So totally happy with the setup though. Undoubtedly brings out the beast in the 370. I was just at a meet with about 150 modified cars and would have to say my 370Z had the best sounding exhaust hands down.

Hey James. Honestly the car is real loud but it does come down to how we drive it to honest. I have noticed i have adjusted my style just a bit when around my OWN house LOL. As for accelerating between 2-4k range, i have found it's loudest when in a higher gear, so when you need to put more load on the car (i think that makes sense).

Not sure what you can do with the Auto, you might need to drive it in Manual mode more and you might be able to adjust it a bit more, maybe.

This is the ENzo sound i heard on Youtube, that i thought was close,

Will start with the CBE. Just need to figure out jack stand points for the rear of the car...

Good to hear you getting yours in m4a, also hope your enjoying it once the rain goes away mate and you get some good weather to really enjoy it. Seeing that you have come from V8's you have gotta put in the HFC's mate, they have gotta add a nicer note and some HP as a bonus as well.

Hey spearfish. I'll try and get some more videos today, but that wont be the best quality as i dont have my JVC HD cam with me, so can only use the video mode of my point and shoot. It's biggest downside is the mic on it.
