Invidia catback is good option for the budget.

I talked to Rev-Works, and that is what he suggested. I thought that is what he was saying "Invidia".. but I am a cpu guy so I was thinking Nvidia..which is a graphics card.. so I was confused.

Perfect world: A really nice CBE + install for around 1k.

FI seems great, but such a long wait + its around 1400 bucks.
I purchased my Berk CBE from Corner3 Garage. Great guys. Shipping was free and fast. Below is link.

Rest assured Corner3Garage is an approved vendor here. I highly recommend them. Great customer service.

In my honest opinion. Manga flow sounds good. They are good mufflers. Most of them are put on V8's. I understand that the economy is not the greatest and that splurging is not always good but this is how I see it...You own a Z. In which case you did not cheap out on a vehicle. You could of gotten a civic, or other more economical car but you chose the Z. Why cheap out on your car that you spent good coin on, only to cheap on it?

Systems are great because they take out the extra work and messy welding by some local shops. Fitment issues will arise. There is a reason why F.I. has a huge following in our community.

One, customer service is hands down the best.

Two, good things come to people who are patient.

Three, it's been proven time after time with several members and feedback that it is a beautiful looking exhaust, great sound, and most of all it's DYNO proven with its gains on the highest end among CBEs.

Do it right the first time. GL

I got my ARK DTS exhaust for $1150 w/ burnt tips and had it installed for $150. It sounds amazing. I love the sound when starting up and when I'm hauling it always remember you get what you pay for. The magnaflow may be $700 but let's say the drone pisses u off. You're gonna spend money of fitment issues/sound deadening the cabin which is gonna cost you even more money. Spend a little more the first time and save yourself the headaches of having your car in the shop bud

Just hold off, save a bit more, and get what your car deserves. Don't cheap out...you will regret it and spend more in the long run.

I say just do the magnaflow catback. The way I see it is you have 4-5 feet of piping that has resonators and a muffler. Yes some look a lot better than others but most also have the same design/shape excluding resonators and muffler type. The FI exhaust is a excellent choice but who doesn't have one these days.....

As long as the shop is using mandrel bends you'll be ok. I wouldn't bother if they're going to use crush bent tubing.

I agree, it's always easy to spend someone else's money. Folks sure get pompous about exhausts - Magnaflow has been around for over 30 years and last time I checked, their manufacturing facility is in California, better than many companies can say. There's no end to exhaust tone opinions and not everyone's goal is maximum gains at the dyno.

I'm not a shill for Magnaflow, I'm the guy who just installed a Meisterschaft axle-back, which might bring my input into question.

I've heard that exhaust in person and it doesn't sound bad but it sounds exactly like stock maybe just a tad louder but barley noticeable

Hey guys. I have two magnaflow bullets on my 09 370 with res deletes and let me tell you it sounds badass. it's a really deep sound with no drone and very little rasp. I would recommend magnaflow any day.
