I wonder how this would sound with berks HFC and nismo axleback ??? Do you think it would give it a louder exhaust note ?

The nismo axle back is quieter than this axle back. However the berk cats will help it with a louder volume. I'm waiting to pick up some art pipes, or find a good deal on Z1 headers and test pipes. To see how much more sound I would get out of it.

I think berk HFC with this exhaust would sound great however.

Yea my stock axleback with berks HFC was actually louder then the the nismo axleback with berks HFC... but the nismo is way deeper which I like and also a lot less rasp.. I wondering if I changed out the factory non nismo midpipe/xpipe to the garage line midpipe/xpipe with the berks HFC and nismo axle back would it make it louder ?? I love be deep sound from nismo just want it louder lol

Well from my experience the garageline axle back is louder and deeper than the nismo axle back. Nismo axleback tends to get high pitched and raspy while maintaining the quietness with test pipes and a more free flowing midpipe. But everyone has their own thoughts and opinions. It could be a very good match.

So you think the garage line midsection/xpipe with Berks HFC will make the the nismo axle back louder ? Vs stock non nismo midsection lol

I can't get rid of the nismo axleback I just installed it and got a great deal on it unfourently... Was upset today somewhat bc I tought it would be louder vs stock.. It's deeper for sure vs stock axleback but It got a lot quiter..

My goal is to keep the deeper tone with nismo axleback and berks HFC but give It a louder tone.

I just ordered the X pipe and mid pipe. I have a Nismo axle back muffler so I can't wait to see how this feels

It should sound fine with with the HFC and the garageline xpipe and midpipe. I know the garageline midpipe will flow much better than the stock nismo hpipe and midpipes. So keep us posted. Would definately be interested in how it sounds.

I think it would make it a little louder. But not by a whole lot.

I think I'm about to pull the trigger.. I was going to go to the shop today to do the resonator delete to see if that helps.. But I think I'm just going to buy the garage line xpipe and midpipe instead

I would if I were you. with this xpipe and midpipe you will have some sort of gain in hp and torque, where as with a resonator delete you won't make any gain at all, and resonator delete on the stock piping makes the stock mufflers a bit raspy. I say pull the trigger. Plus you won't regret it. I'm extremely happy with mine

Guys,
Trust what this guy when he talks about the exhaust..he is very detailed and knowledgeable about 370z exhaust. of course everyone has different expectations about how there set up will work, but I believe he knows his stuff. I communicated with him several times and all my questions were answered honestly as bad as I wanted stock muffler to work..I feel the garageline cat back is the BEST set up.. The factory muffler is really not all that great being Nismo or standard. Trust me after being a 20 year Nissan tech,i have heard a lot of different set ups...my opinion...go with whole set up..if not enough...go with their test pipes..there is a reason they sell it as a whole set. A lot of work went into this system. Price is awesome and customer service is out of this world. Just saying
