Default exhaust recommendations for the Z roadster

What have you done and/or recommend for the roadster. Looking for an exhaust that sounds good (deeper and throaty) but not too loud since its a roadster. Any input is appreciated.

RSR is definitely way to loud for a NA roadster IMHO.

yes I agree, but I have no idea where to start. There are so many to choose from I kinda want to narrow my search and get input from roadster owners who have already gone thru the experience. Like Vien for example. Thanks

You seriously can't go wrong with Nismo, one of the top selling exhausts. Matching the OEM sound but adds a little more aggressive sound when you get on it, and the look is show quality.

I can't wait to install mine in a few months.

ive got the Injen exhaust... no sound at idle and when cruising once you take your foot of the gas you dont hear anything comming form the exhaust. once you get on it , it sounds pretty aggressive.

i really like the way the topspeed pro N1 sounds. theres a clip of a blue Z with it, almost sounds like a mini supra

I feel much better. I sold my base coupe and all my other mods. Guess I have to buy them again.
