Nismo exhaust & Crawford cats.

Pros: Great sound & looks (the oval tilted up tips look great)

Cons: A little droan at around 2500 RPM's

 

Man - what are you a test ground for exhausts?

I got the Stillen Cat-Back Exhaust.
Pro - Fit, Sound, Performance, Price
Con - Weight (yet the gains in performance + price outweight this)

 

Well I thought I would be happy with the Borla, but I was disgusted with the quality and make of the exhaust itself. I really like the Injen, it's just since going with Twin Turbo it is very restrictive.

At least I can speak from experience on several different brands. I also had a Stillen Dual for awhile also. I thought that was a great exhaust, but does not deliver the gains that it promises (which no exhaust does, they all inflate their HP numbers).

 

+1

 

Injen SES angled...Liking it so far only on for a few weeks, but having a problem with a little rattle on the right muffler hitting a metal bracket behing the wheel...will be fixed soon though...other than that its a beast at 4k and up

 

You had the Stillen too, so you had even more exhausts. Do you have a yard full of old exhausts now?

+1 on the all the exhaust inflating their numbers! Yet, once you FI - then they really make a huge difference on the dyno, and you can feel on the road!

 

Borla - I like it overall but would trade for a Nismo in a heartbeat.

Pros - Quality sound, much smaller than stock, a bit lighter as well
Cons - Bogs at < 1500RPM

 

Amuse R1 Titan

pros: sounds great, sexy looks, lightweight, quality great, supposedly decent gains cons: expensive, mid-pipe + muffler only, requires relocation of vapor canister in USDM cars.. looooong wait to get one

I've listened to this exhaust with and without FI.. with FI, it's very high pitched sounding.. almost ricey.. without FI, it sounds like Z sex!!

Nismo


Pros- Looks a lil meaner than stock and sounds great

cons- i dont think it does much hp wise. But still sounds good

 

Borla + Kinetix HFC

Pros: Increase HP, awsome v8 aggressive sound. People just love the low aggresive rumbles. Gets lots of compliments. guys and girls!

Cons: None of yet. I know others have said they have cracks and leaks, but it's been 10,000km with no problem so far. People also mentioned the "cheap clamps", but the funny thing was when I brought it to a shop, they right away commented on how good the quality of the clamps were.

 

+1 on borla

 

APS- high power 2.5 exaust

pros: great response, good horsepower and torque. sounds like nothing else. almost porsche like.

cons: may be a little to quiet
pro or con) even with test pipes

 

Tommy Kaira (aka 5zigen USA version)

 

Topspeed Pro1

With silencers its louder than stock with a much deeper tone.
Without silencers its much much louder than stock, very deep down low in the revs, towards redline it absolutely screams.

Pros:
Very affordable
Nice quality and fitment
Sounds absolutely amazing
much lighter than stock

Cons:
Not a big fan of the dual canister design
Silencers look stupid, so you better enjoy a louder exhaust
Wish that they angled the canister to allow for a larger muffler with a longer tip
I want to get test pipes and a y-pipe but affraid it will be crazy loud!

 

+2

 

I guess I can comment on the Borla too since I had that exhaust on for a year before the Amuse

pros: fairly cheap, true dual, decent gains that i could feel, slightly louder than stock tone (pro if you are an adult LOL) cons: seemed to be designed to fit in the smallest possible a box before the car was considered. so many separate pieces that caused it to leaked over time, very basic looking..IMHO..uglier than stock.

 

Uglier than stock? How so? It's virtually indistinguishable.

 

Rs*r..

Pros...one of the baddest most loudest exhausts for the Z

Cons...one of the baddest most loudest exhasuts for the Z, its not for everyone

 

I have the same exact problem. It's getting annoying as hell.
