Nevermind I found a place...interesting. got any sound clips of this exhaust. I know they are not accurate, but its better than nothing. I hate buying this crap blind man, its driving me nuts.
The TS doesnt sound like a nopi tuner car does it? Smooth sounding? High-pitched? ala porche carrerra gt?
Still leaning toward the Stillen SS. Sway me people, if you think I need swaying.

I have seen tons of pics of x-pipes under Z's. I argued for a while and then just left. Bottom line is I think they are tired of screwing with me. That sucks becuase it is the only place within decent distance of me that will do custom exhaust work. I should have known better to try something like this around here, everytime I try to get people around here to try something out of the box and different, I get stonewalled with the same ole "You can't do it" phrase, and wind up doing it myself. My center console was the same way, I took it to fifty body shops and always got the same answer. "you cant do it." So I wound up just doing it myself. I have tons of other experiences like that also. So like every other project I want to do, I will probably be doing it myself.
Don't ever move to West Virginia, stay away, far away. It is the lazy capitol of the universe.

I'd wait to make your choice untill after the Skyline Drive meet. You should be able to hear MANY different exausts with your own ears. I have Invidia... and LOVE it.

i have had it on for about 3 weeks now. i havent had a chance to get any clips made yet. i wish i have. i think its the best exhaust for this car. i found a few clips from the forum though.
here's one of a G with silencers. the silencers can be easily removed and put back on at the exit of the tips.

here is a clip on a Z with no silencers. this is how i drive it everyday. mine actually sounds a little bit meaner than this one. maybe i'm running a different y-pipe.
http://home.comcast.net/~vballdallas1/350run.mpg
hope these help you out man.
here is the original thread for the blue Z.

That first clip of the G driving off sounds horrible man. I am waiting on the bigger one to download, maybe it will be better with the silencers off.

I've been happy with the Stillen SS dual and LaBree resonated test pipes. Louder and deeper than stock, but it doesn't alienate the neighbors when I fire it up to leave for work. Not buzzy, even with the top down.

Acree buddy, I hate to say it, but I think that top speed sounds like a turd. Maybe its just the soundclips and you have to hear it in person. Thanks for the suggestion though.
I JUST CANT DECIDE!!!!
The stillen was what I always wanted from the get-go, so I will probably wind up with it.

Whoever has the HKS, can you assure me that it has NO RASP whatsoever, no fartish sound at all? I want my exhaust as smooth as butter, and if it is raspy, its automatically out. I was looking at the pics of it, and it looks to be true dual with no crossover...if that is the case, it may be horribly raspy. If it is broken and farty sounding it will lower my selections to only two....the stillen ss and the invidia g200.

...what? no I dont want it signed in blood, when did I ever say that? Considering the only way I will ever hear that exhaust is through a random sound clip if I get lucky enough to find one, the only thing I have to go on is someone elses word. So considering that, I think my best COA is pretty much shot to hell. I am asking for information and opinions from people and I realize I have to take those opinions with a grain of salt, I was not born yesterday. There is no way I am dropping 1-2k bucks on something without knowing ANYTHING about it.

Well, here are my options...
I could get the Invidia g200, DC headers, and helix HF cats for 1869 bucks shipped.
Or i could just get the stillen and leave the stock cats (I hear the Stillen SS combined with HF cats sounds like a low-pitched buzzing bee.)
Or the HKS hi power and helix hiflows for about 1800 beans as well.
...decisions, decisions, decisions....I just dont know what to do.

WTF, a turbo is type of forced induction.
GLASSPACK IS for sound deviation ONLY.
WTF type of analogy was that. And how come something flowing 500+cfms be compaired to a sound level modification.
NOW ----- BEFORE YOU SPEAK,
I was saying glass packs make burbly sounds, ofcourse it sounds like ***. Dont tell me you put a glass pack on for flow you putz, they are for sound only, you might as well do a straight pipe. And they resonate so differently they burble the sounds up
Wakeup.

that's the point @sswipe. wth is your problem? this guy comes on the forums asking for help and you're being a big fat d****** bag. he put glasspacks on SO THEY WOULD FLOW EXHAUST LIKE A STRAIGHT PIPE. hence, better than mufflers. he never said glasspacks cram air into the engine you turd muncher. why are people such @ssholes all the time?! i'm freakin sick of it.
