HKS by nature has zero drone and rasp period. It's quiet when you want it to be but when you stomp on the gas it opens up. Sounds pure sex. It's far from those 4 banger Hondas on the street. You saying that only because you've heard people has HKS with the test pipes or 300 cell HFCs. But then again, even the stock exhaust will be like raspy Honda rice boy when you put on the test pipes.

I would've recommended Fast Intention if OP didn't require the exhaust system not being too loud. The fast intentions sounds very nice and deep. But it's loud(subjective) and has drone at lower RPMs.

OP, my advise to you is to go to the car meet or car shows and hear it for yourself. Youtube videos only give you a rough idea how the exhaust system sound like but it's FAR from what you would hear it in person and it doesn't tell you how loud the exhaust is.

Also, what ideas for cosmetic upgrades? I like to do little subtle things that may stand out a bit but not over powering.

As for the cosmetic upgrades, a lip kit, side skirts will do. Also window tint, black out headlights and taillights might come out nice too depends on your personal preference. But the best cosmetic mod is to put on the "the370z.com" decals on your car.

Yes. I had non resonated. My buddy has 18 inch resonators. Both have drone at certain RPM. But we both got used to it shortly haha... Now he wants to be louder and non-resonators. Lol. I hope you were close to us so we could show you what they sound like in person...

And I can't tell you how loud the exhaust is because some people think it's loud while others don't. But I can give a comparison with the stock exhaust. If say stock exhaust(non nismo) is at 5/10 then the fast intentions is at 8/10 and the HKS is at 6/10.

And the Fast Intentions is one of the deepest exhaust on 370z.
