I've seen on video the stillen and the fast intentions exhaust but not in person, both of those sounded really good. But I think I prefer it louder maybe with no resonators ? The fast intentions did sound a little more deeper in my opinon which I do like .

The mesterichieft do sound awsome I actually like that one a lot , I just want to hear them in person so I could kind of get a feel of what I want. Is the mesterichieft exhaust just the back portion ? It goes for almost $2000.

You need to find a local meet. So much of what you see online is going to be as good or as bad as the speakers on your computer. It's hard to judge volume that way.

Or the microphone used to record it. Or both.

It's a catback system.

I have the F.I. w/ 18" resonators and love it.

I have a 2011 and went with the v2 of the Ark Grip .. you should youtube the popular ones and try and find one used if you don't want to pay full price (used is just as good as new if the previous owner took care of it)

I would suggest youtubing:

Ark grip on 370z (price is like 900 used to 1300 new)
Fast Intentions (1300-1650 depending on size of resonators and type of muffler cans) * By far the most popular on the forums..about a 10 week wait on these
Berk
Invidia

And there are few others that are much pricier.

Also, catback system is a few parts..basically all the tubing from behind your catalytic converter all the way to the tailpipes.. and these sets include all the parts.

As far as sound.. I loved the ark grip.. most aggressive looking setup imho, and has a nice deep idle, loud when gassing it, and almost silent when at a cruising speed rpms... Starts to get loud around 3k rpms.

No drone that I notice.

+1! I have the ARK exhaust and love it! Not sure how loud you want to be, but this exhaust definitely sounds awesome! Very exotic sound and no drone, only loud when you really step on it but not obnoxiously loud... Best money spent
