So after speaking with Mr. Madwi last night. We settled on me purchasing a full exhaust setup. Skipping the intake and since OEM are fairly decent with just some drop-ins. Coupled with HFC's and I can get a tune finally.

So my question. What do I do for an exhaust? I want something without drone, not overly loud at idle or cruising speed, but noticeable when toying around. All I hear is how good FI is, but the wait times may be past my arrival date at Madwi's place. So, suggestions?

HKS will give you quiet, unless you get on the gas. FI is good, best bet on that is to watch the forums or Facebook for used sales. I've seen a couple go up fairly recently. I'll pm you if I spot them again. My personal favorite is still Motordyne. I like my FI with long tube headers, but if I saw a Motordyne at the right time, I'd probably go for it. In my head, that has the sound I think a Z car should have. It's also probably louder than you want with HFCs.

whatever you do, dont get a berk.. its a slight upgrade above an OEM setup.. I've got an ARK, and love it, but may be a little too loud for you.

I do not agree with you on this one. I have run a Berk on 2 different 370s. It provides a decent tone at low RPMs. It has zero drone and it is quite loud at WOT. It also dramatically improved throttle response and delivers about 15 whp.

Exhaust choice is largely a matter of preference. Almost all the aftermarket systems have pluses and minuses.

That said, if I were choosing an exhaust right now, I would go with Fast Intentions, Motordyne or ARK.

This right here. Everyone has a sound they're going for, or a frequency which bothers them. The performance differences from exhaust to exhaust are pretty minimal - but for performance, FI seems to be top of the heap from every dyno I could find.

eastwest2300 · 03-06-2018, 07:03 AM

I had a video on youtube of my ARK.. but I cant find it. wtf.

Leingod · 03-06-2018, 07:15 AM

So:

Berk
FI (If found online)
Motordyne

Loudness isn't bad. But I don't want to have to yell in the cabin for someone to hear me. Mainly the drone is what would bother me most. But idk how loud everything will be regardless due to the HFC's.
