Looking for New Exhausts!
 

Hey guys, I'm looking for some nice exhausts for CHEAP. Could you guys help me out? Thanks.

then you should have bought a civic.

serious though, what are you considering "cheap"..... budget?

cheap wont be nice... you get what you pay for. Take a look at the used classifieds section and see if something fits your budget.

What they said. You want a nice exhaust your gonna have to pay.

CNT is the cheapest exhaust you can get for the Z. LOL but you will pay for what you get. It isn't that bad of a exhaust though.

Unless you want to spend more than $1,200, I would just stick with the stock exhaust on your Nismo or look in the for sale section for a quality used one. Are you just looking for something louder?

:iagree:

F.I. TDX............

Not really cheap, but you can source one from the classifieds or from the folks that are upgrading to 3" because they went (or are going) TT. At the end of the day, you can go cheap on exhaust because of the lack of moving parts. You may not like the results in the long run though!

It's not like the stock exhaust is that terrible.

It can't be terrible since you can't even really hear it...

Go Fast Intentions... (reasonable at around $1300) it looks and sounds sweet. Of course this depends on what you consider expensive.
For around $5 you could do the washer gap mod in your stock exhaust :)

Actually, I have come to the conclusion it's only inside the car that it is not heard because all my neighbors say they can hear when im driving by their house...



I still ordered the FI exhaust though :bowrofl:

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

I hear tin foil is pretty cheap

exhaust is one of those things where you really should hear different ones andthen figure out the type of sound you want. some people like loud, raspy, drone, some like a quieter tone, some like the deeper sound, etc etc.

each exhaust sounds diff, which is good.

Fast intentions are nice

+1 for fast intentions if you've got the cash! You will be very happy if you go that route

I would not buy a different exhaust unless you are going to upgrade; fast intentions exhaust being one of them. That is just my honest opinion. Now, if you really want to get a cheap exhaust put on, there is also the one made by Top Speed.

It's interesting to see people here are all for F.I. exhaust. I am from G35 forum and most people there love the HKS hi power or Motordyne Shockwave. Any HKS lover here?

G35/350z had different exhausts that were most "popular" than the 370z/g37 owners. Motordyne is relatively new exhaust on here and seems to be gaining popularity but its too early to say how many will go for it.
HKS is liked among those who own it, but doesnt overwhelm the community like the FI did. I think g37 guys also love the F.I. system.

But don't get me wrong, I myself owns FI carbon fiber cbe and HFC on my G35c for years and loved it. If I were going to upgrade my NISMO exhaust, that would only be FI or HKS. But to OP, Invidia exhaust is another reasonable option out there.

Yeah, I don't even think MD making catbacks for 370z. It's relatively new system. But I heard a lot good things about them.

I think pep boys have a cheap exhaust for you!!!!!

They do, check out some of the review threads

No, it's terrible. That would be my only real complaint about the car. The 350 sounds good, g37 sounds awsome, 370z is really bad.

i think he was talking about the stock nismo exhaust. its not terrible, just not loud enough.

HFC or TP's with the factory nismo exhaust doesnt sound bad and people hear me coming!

Let's give him some "good" advice, his budget is $400 :wtf2:

Top speed would be one that falls close to that budget, $400-$500. I hear it sounds decent not real sure on the power though. I'd save the $400ish and keep saving for the one you want. Why compromise on a car like the Z.

Our AAM Competition Short Tails would fit in your budget! We are working on something right now for it to look right on the Nismo Rear bumper. I might be able to post a teaser ;)

Washer gap mod? Lol, people do this for real? Hello air leaks :hello:

Not to sound like a ****, but you payed for a 40 thousand dollar sports car...Why would you compromise for a few hundred bucks? I just snagged a F.I. exhaust off the forums for a good deal. Good deals are out there, honestly just look through as many sound clips, dyno charts, and reviews as you can until you find out what you really want...It's worth it in the end, honestly if i have to skip a few meals a week to save up so be it. It's worth everytime i hit that little button and hear my car crank up :driving:

:iagree:
