I agree, if you want it loud TP and Meisterschaft... good luck with that :D

I have Berk HFC's and Berk exhaust and would recommend it. It is fairly quiet at low RPM's with a nice low grumble but no roar. But when you hit 5K RPM it sounds more race car. They did a nice job at tuning the sounds to different RPM ranges. I would sell the nismo exhaust for whatever u can get and use the matched Berk catback, they are meant to be used together.

I had the Nismo exhaust and Berk HFC on my 350Z, and it was one of the greatest exhaust sounds you can ever hear on a Z. Unfortunately on the 370Z you can't do that same combination and get the same results. I know because I own a 370z Nismo and tried it thinking it would sound as good as my old 350z with the same setup but it didn't. To get that sound out of the 370z you would need the HKS exhaust and Berk HFC. This is how the HKS exhaust and Berk HFC sound on the 370Z. Please watch

I installed the Meisterschaft complete exhaust on my 2014 and love it along with my 21 year old son.
Expensive, but well worth it.

The AAM S-Line Mid-pipe and Axle-back are a worthy alternative as well. I use them on my 2014 Nismo. Easy install, no drone. Sounds great above 5k, quiet when normal driving.

You also don't have to do it all at once. I bought the AAM S-Line mid-pipe first and 6 months later the Axle-back to complete the set.

Can't guarantee it, but if you haven't done it already, a tune might help the sound a bit. Made a difference for me running the OEM Nismo exhaust.

Won't be anywhere on the level as a favorable system altogether, but if you just can't be bothered to sell, buy, get the whole switcharoo done vs. one tune.

370Z Nismo Exhaust
 
Since you already have the Nismo exhaust buy a pair of test pipes it's like night and day compared to the Berk HFC's on the Nismo exhaust as far as sound. You'll definitely get that loud Nismo rumble with test Pipes.

The dumbest most idiotic excuse for a modification this side of underglow.

I should have gone with Akrapovic but too late now. No one wants a used Nismo system.

Funny you say that.

I have the Akrapovic CBE and decided to install a new Nismo axle back muffler.
Car was VERY quiet with the Nismo muffler, it ran pretty good, but it didn't have the exotic sports car sound the Akrapovic had.

Put the Akrapovic axle back on the car, and must say, it is the best sounding 370 exhaust I have heard. No drone, quiet at low throttle, and sounds like a Ferrari at high RPM.

I believe this axle back is the same as Top Speed Pro and I installed that with my OEM nismo exhaust and Berk HFCs.

The cabin drone was absolutely unbearable. Maybe good without the HFCs or without the nismo dual?

BTW, I am now running gt haus meisterschaft. Loudness is not an issue. Drone sucks.

There are so many variables and sound clips are so limited...
