People are willing to pay some absolutely retarded prices to be JDM. :rolleyes:

Let me guess, if he puts anything on the car that isn't made in Japan he's changed the whole character of the car, huh?

There is really a LOT of nice sounding exhaust out there. Motordyne, AAM, Invidia, Gthaul... Just name a few. OP, you need to go out to the meets and hear them in person. Youtube video helps but doesn't really tell the whole story.

Thanks for all the suggestion guys! Now how do I find out about these meets? Ultimately you guys are right, I need to listen these exhausts in person. I live in Miami and tried looking in the SE section but failed to find anything?

i like the look and sound of the topspeed pro1 exhaust with burnt titanium tips(its priced out really well as well, $549 is the lowest i have seen it)

i did the washer mod on my Z and it sounds sick as hell

Congrats on the new ride! As far as the nismo exhaust i too am unimpressed by the exhaust sound. In fact just today i installed a set of resonated test pipes but its still not aggressive enough for my taste. On youtube look up 370z nismo with berk test pipes and hks cat back based on that video im looking at going hks high power in the near future.

that is one expensive exhaust but it sounds amazing

Very true but ive long since come to the realization that modding this going to be pricey. My personal opinion is do it right the first time. 500 bucks might be a solid proce for mustang and camaro cat backs but the z should be treated as the fairlady that it is....jmo save up and do it big :) ... Im also designing my own cat back system to give a nasty deep growl using solidworks and flow works to be as free flowing as possible. Just using some conservation of mass and fluids equations i picked up in school. Probably will be expensive to weld up nicely but ill know every detail about the flow paths. I have some drawings created so far about 33% done but ill post up the system when finished.

I struggled with this dilemma for a while, but no regrets AT ALL with going aftermarket.

Here's my Nismo w/ Berk HFCs and FI CBE:
