Is there a sweetheart complete exhaust system in the HR land for those looking to keep the noise down but see the most gains (HP/dB? lol)? I'm hoping to be under $1300 with HFC.
If not, can someone recommend quiet parts that would work well together? I would love to have a true dual setup, but I might be pushing with my budget

We make and sell a true dual H-pipe design exhaust system that has a nice, aggressive, deep tone (without any rasp & resonated too!) and yet is not too loud either...it's also well within your budget:

Call me direct if you have questions and want to order one...free delivery too!

Where, do you think, that TopSpeed system ranks on 1-10 scale (with 1 - being stock, 10 - straight pipes)?

Hard to specifically answer that because we have different variations of the same exhaust...

Our original true dual H-pipe design (resonated):

...or you can take away the muffler canisters, but still have resonators:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-350Z-...item564c04b567

...then we also have straight through (very loud):

I would go for the first one, the most quiet one. Do you have an option for smaller tips? Those look kinda... ricey

That is the only size tips we make on the 350Z exhausts. They actually fit very well and look perfectly proportioned on the 350Z...decidedly not ricey. Any smaller might look too small. Then again, it's you car and you can have it look however you like.

I have a Borla full exhaust system, meaning headers, cat deleted, and borla muffler and have to say it sounds amazing especially with the intake. Its amazing there is no.drone nor is it loud, like I mean its dead quiet till you push it. ThisThis is unusual when you delete cats but I guess those two resonators in the back from the borla system quieted it done. Really loving this setup, and will be going with them from now on, especially will.be putting a borla on my girl's ride.

What's up guys, was looking at the thread, just want to know if anyone is running magnaflow system? IMO I think it sounds most aggressive.
I know stillen works closely with Nissan to develop their products so for performance reasons stillen will probably provide best results.

Also i think it was Chefj who said that 06 stock intake was best for the Z, I agree, wondering if anyone has found better.?

Thanks guys

Default Pop-charger

Could someone please tell me where to get a JWT pop-charger in the UK or Ireland? They don't seem to be readily available online.

Just got my first Z on Sunday so please go easy if this question angers you!

If you don't know the answer to this or how to find it, you don't need to be putting headers on your car. Ever thought of picking up the phone and calling Z1?

Default Which intake out of the 3

Injen SP intake ~ ($250)
Stillen Intake Kit (w/ K&N filter) ~ ($250)
K&N Fuel Injected Performance Kit ~ ($230)

Which one would you pick?

I honestly am stuck, i read the forum and it said stillen for $200 but i was wondering if that was also up against the K&N and Injen. or was it compared as your best bang for buck

Not sure how accurate the HP "increase" is but not worried about that.
Just want a clean/mean sounding intake.

Thanks

If you just want sound then get a JWT popcharger and call it done. It's cheaper than everything you listed even if you buy a shiny new intake tube to go with it.
