Nissan 370Z Forum - Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

As per my Dyno sheet it does at least FEEL better in the top end. It definitely feel more responsive through out the Rev range also which is the best improvement.

agreed...i like the takedas i have but im tweaking for more sound!

Thats the main thing for me is the sound. The fact we get a few more HP from it all is a great bonus.

Luckily for me, though, my gf drives a CLK 500 and we are having a custom exhaust system built for it in a couple weeks. 5-liter V8. :tup:

wow niceee! :tup:

not too much out there that sounds better than a modular 4.6L V8 4V with headers and catback!!!

did u get around 18whp gains on a dyno jet?

the Takeda's didnt give a lot of power if im correct.

i personally look at POWER gains first. then the sound :)

Agreed. The pushrod GM engines generally sound like crap.

Here's my old GT with off-road X pipe and Magnaflow CB.

I don't think Tony will mind that we're keeping his thread up near the top. :tup:

So is the GM V's Ford V8's rivalry just as passionate over there as it is here in AUS - Holden V Ford (Pontiac G8 etc. i think they are/were).

Sry for the OT Tony. STill about exhaust sound sort of.

i wonder how Tony's LONG TUBE HEADERS are gonna sound like man!

i seen this video of a z33 on long tube headers

[YOUTUBEHQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ap9jzeHMCY[/YOUTUBEHQ]

i cant wait for Tony's long tube headers. i hope we get some crazy numbers on the power gains and i hope the sound is straight up BEAST!

Oh yeah, it's definitely just as fierce over here. HUGE rivalry!

You've got the GM V8's in one corner which are crude, HUGE push rods that rock a lot of power. Then you've got Ford with the smaller, OHC engines that really, really love boost and gear.

I'm a Ford guy through and through. :tup:

My dyno was done on a Dyno Dynamics, which i think is similar to the US versions that it tends to read lower than the Dynojet's (at least here they do). It was all in the top end really, but the responsiveness was impressive.
