That's why they gave you silencers..... Use them !!!!

I put them on and the car sounded about the same outside however it quieted it a good bit inside. Overall there is barely any reduction in noise when you put them on though.

I put it for sale already but I'm trying to sell it locally man. Sorry. I think I have decided to go with the Greddy Evo 2. I have not heard it in person but Greddy exhaust have always been pretty quiet and well sounding.

What i can see from the video's is that the HKS should be the better one, less noise, more torque. But you have to test it in real life, that's for sure.

I bought Geovannie's exhaust.

I like loud but that is LOUD! I don't think im gonna be able to take my date out this weekend on my car.

Interior noise is a tad too much.

Agreed, the interior noise is the #1 reason why I got rid of it. It is just too crazy. Yo remember next time I see you to give you the silencers. They where in the trunk too.

I used to have the Top Speed exhaust on my G, actually I had the prototype...i love seeing people's reaction when they say "I didn't think it was THIS loud?!?"

So is this exhaust louder than, say, another 'normal' exhaust (average aftermarket loud) with test pipes?

I wanted NISMO and test pipes but I'm impatient and cheap, so I'm thinking of buying a Topspeed instead, plus I'll still pass emissions coming up in a few months. Will this be louder than that? The only Z I've heard with test pipes had an Injen exhaust, will this be louder than that combination? It was pretty loud but not too loud for my tastes.

This exhaust is LOUD. When we say loud, we mean LOUD like being in front of the speakers at a rock concert loud (according to other members that heard mine). With the silencers in, however, it quiets down a good bit. You get used to the loudness with or without the silencers pretty soon though. I love the way it sounds! I would recommend this exhaust if you're looking for a cheap one with awesome sounds.

I got mine from a member here for cheap. I say the classified section is your best bet. But I heard these exhausts are cheap new also.
