drone for daily driver?
 
Hi guys, you all with these exhaust please give me your feedback. I want one of these, which has least amount of drone if any at all.
Invidia gemeni. CNT, agency power. Also the ones with most drone. ... How bad is the drone for a daily driver.

The Invidia Gemini is probably the most DD friendly of all of those. It's pretty civil inside the cabin from what I have experienced.

That's what I thought the answer would be. How much more drone would the CNT have?

CNT with stock cats? almost 0 drone from what I remember. with HFC, there is narrow band around 3k that it starts droning a bit. only on highway though

Yeah it would be with stock cats.
I hear that AP exhaust is pretty loud and has drone. I'm trying to stay away from drone and louder than stock but not very loud either. So if stock is a 1-2 sound and very loud is 10, I would like to be 4-6 range.

man I would love to have a drone fly me to work every day the traffic here sucks.

Do u drive an auto or manual? I have F.I. Exhaust with 18" res and HFCs, there is definitely drone around 2,200 -3,000 rpm, but since I'm a manual I just stay out of that range and it's very livable as my dd. but I bought this exhaust from someone who had an auto, and autos like being in that drone range, so it's not good for a dd in that case.

The new AAM axleback/catback combo in my thread on the 1st page has as little drone as you could hope for.

Why don't you just pick one of those exhausts you like the most and then just Sound proof your car? Its cheap to get and you get the exhaust you love the most and Zero Drone?

zefaulter 05-23-2014 09:53 PM

I'd get CNT all over again. I was a little disappointed that it was not loud but after adding hfc I'm happy

Don't really feel like adding all that weight and then you must do the entire car not just the hatch. I'll skip that idea but thanks for the option.

Is going to be between CNT and Invidia. AP just too loud from what I've found.

^^ I have this and it was good with CBE only. I added headers and HFCs and it is still fine inside the cabin (car not log); albeit car alarms at the metro now have a different impression of me and the Z.

I ought to come to one of the fairfax meets one of these days to hear it in person.

Just slip a dollar in the slot above the window and you can have 2 minutes of sweet soulful exhaust all to yourself.

Yes, you really should come to Fairfax one day. You'd never guess how many adult males still live in their mother's basements.

Hammtastic 09-30-2014 08:45 PM

If stock is in the 1-2 range, what range are the CNT and AAM exhaust in? And do these exhaust come alive at WOT?

2012z 10-01-2014 06:34 PM

Garageline cat back..best bang for the buck..IMOP I use my 14z as a daily and wanted good gains with minimal loudness... this was perfect for me.

What kind of gains did you see from the exhaust? Do you have the graphs? How much louder than stock is it?

I don't have any dyno sheets...sorry. I inquired front the company (garageline) From what I know Garageline designed the exhaust and TurboXs built it. 2009 - 2014 TurboXS 370z Dual Catback Exhaust
This is the link... I did talk to someone from Garageline with the same numbers. I didn't realize they were talking wheel hp.....
As far as noise...slightly louder than stock...not much..just heavier...if that makes sense....no drone...and really sounds good at WOT...cruising..cant tell much different at all..
Hope this helps

Hammtastic 10-02-2014 10:46 AM

Got some pictures of it on your car? Is there any rasp?

Hammtastic 10-02-2014 11:17 AM

Sorry for all the questions but I am doing as much research as I can before I purchase.

On interstate, is it as quiet as stock?

no rasp at all. On interstate it is as quiet as stock until u gun it, then a little louder.. I can take some pics for u if u want. I think you should check this forum and let me know what u think.
