The best exhaust noise for the 350Z under $2000 (with pics) *long report*
The team:
2003 Fairlady Z w/VQ35DE
The players:
1. NISMO Weldina Cat-back exhaust system
2. Top Speed Pro-1 Race pipes (Non-Resonated)
3. Custom NISMO Short ram intake (with nismo filter and piping)
3. Wide open throttle accerlation with my right foot
Yes...
Anyone who has this set up will agree that the noise NISMO Weldina cat-back exhaust + test pipes makes is absolutely heart stopping!
What does it sound like?
Now, take a nice walk around Hollywood if you are on the West Coast or around Miami beach if you are on the East Coast on a beautiful sunny afternoon; grab a nice Starbucks Americano coffee then enjoy it at the outside seating area. Just wait for ten minutes and you will hear an exhaust noise that is so sharp that it actually makes your ear drums BLEED. Yes it is the sound made by the Ferrari V8 a la Ferrari 360 Modena/Spyder.
Now put this in the correct perspective - THIS exhaust job is the closest you will come to that great exhaust symphony directed by the soul of the legendary Enzo Ferrari for under $2500 dollars!
Alright, enough of the magazine styled writing!\
"show me the pictures"
1. My engine bay - Powered by a modified NISMO short ram intake (temporary use ONLY, until i clean the stuff up)
2. Race pipes and Y-pipe
3. Y-pipe to Mid-pipe resonator
4. Mid-pipe to muffling unit (Weldina)
5. The muffling unit LOGO
6. Exhaust tips
7. Bolts and connecting points
8. Detailed picture of the Top speed pro-1 race pipes
9. Y-pipe flange connection
10. Authentic "WELDINA"
...
Now

FAQ:
Q: That the exhaust have any rasp?
A: No and yes. During WOT acceleration with non-resonated race pipes, no. When you hit fuel cut off, a little bit of rasp.
Q: How does the butt dyno feel?
A: Definately gains, but my butt nerves were all destroyed by my JIC FLTA2 coilovers so...
Q: Is it seriously that good?
A: It orgasmically good!
Ta da!

the nismo + TP set up is more explosive and a tad more louder than that.
idle is deeper, growls more...
