Default Loudest exaust?

What do you guys consider to be the loudest exhaust out there? I'm looking for something with a nice agressive idle and the more i step down the more it opens up. I know alot of people see loud as bad but I want my exhaust to scream with my S/C when I get that far.

I think the RSR exhaust is like one of the loudiest.. I cant say it is the loudiest, but it is loud. I can hear my exhaust from 1-2 block away.

RSR or topspeed w/ test pipes. It's unbearable interior wise though.

HKS w test pipes is also very loud w/o the unbearable interior noise and resonance.

well HKS isnt loud at idle... infact its just a tad louder then stock, when driving under 3,000 rpms... but once you hit the pedal... it opens up to a nice growl!

Who did you get yours from? I think thats the one I spent a month searching for and couldn't find a dealer around here that could order it, and I haven't seen it on any vendors sites here.

Edit-to those with RSR

I posted HKS W/ test pipes. Read again.


And it by no means is tad louder than stock. Have somebody drive your car or hear another Z with the exhaust. The only thing is that it is very convenient interior wise. HKS designed this exhaust well.

one of the looudest I've heard was chachi's car...topspeed exhaust, headers, maybe kinetix test pipes

basically anything that uses an Apexi N1 style muffler is going to be the loudest

Actually I think mine is louder than even the HKS true dual. I run a single HKS with test pipes and 3" pipe. 1 bend =)

And im sure Bobby can throw in his two cents after I got on it under that bridge at the College Park show =)

This website got the RSR.
http://www.autocarparts.com/cars/Nissan/350Z/Coupe/RSR/

But I bought my car pre-owned, and the rsr is already in it.

Quoted for truth. You can find any threads of mine in the Mid-A section. I get at least 1 ticket every month, and its from cops usually on the other side of the road or quite a ways away. Its loud as sh*t with un-resonated test pipes!

I was half out of it, I was thinking of Catalytic Converter(sp) that I was told was a HUGE fine if caught not having, but it is nice to know this too for when I start throwing parts on.
