Borla=+1

 

Fujitsubo + resonated test pipes FTW!!! This is my own personal setup and hands down the best sounding combination period....I'm gonna sound a little cocky here and state this as a fact not an opinion..... lol

But honestly I have heard a few Nismo's that sound good with stock cats, but add test pipes to the nismo or greddy exhaust for that matter and they totally change the sound that you origianally had, becoming raspy and not as crisp sounding....You can take my internet .02 for what its worth, but I can tell you that I spent months researching the PERFECT 350z sound and finally achieved it....One day I will post up a sound clip, but you must hear one in person to really appriciate the harmony this combination produces.

 

Borla is a very quiet exhaust.
Nismo is quiet as well....

I would look into either of those

 

Nismo is the best.

Fujitsubo is good too, they make the nismo exhaust.

Borla sounds ok but looks cheesy.

Stillen is overpriced.

 

For noise levels check the Sport-Z magazine Exhaust Shoot-Out.

 

Greddy Evo 2 is FAR from quiet

 

The Fujitsubo, even in titanium form, is significantly quieter than the NISMO - especially at cruise speeds (highway) where the NISMO does have an echo to it, the Fuji does not. And when mated to test pipes, the Fuji remains very composed, where the NISMO gets significantly louder, and quite raspy.

I also have Fujitsubo with resonated test pipes. It sounds very amazing. Not rasp at all.

 

single exhaust with a silencer

 

i see everyone is saying Borla is quiet? I thought people said that the Borla will get the Z sound like a V8? And if im not mistaken. V8s are loud!

 

Borla = lower pitch / tone / frequency

also lower sound level.

Nothing makes a Z sound like a V8...because it is a V6

 

My Blitz exhaust is relatively quiet...when compared to the nismo. Crusing speed it's just about the same as stock. When you go over 4-5k rpm, it's alot louder than stock, but not to the point where stuff in your car is rumbling from it.

I personally love it.

 

anybody have clips of the fuji with the test pipes.

 

i found 2 pretty go resources so far on exhausts. still need to find some Tanabe clips tho.

I went out on a limb with my setup as well....I tried forever on here and youtube to find a sound clip with res test pipes and the fujitsubo exhaust and could only come up with a clip that had high flow cats with the fuji combo....I am soooo glad I went with this setup!!! And for those suggesting the nismo..., well, ummmm, sorry guys its a nice system and all, but still does not hold a candle to the fuji/t.p. combo.....Do some searches for the nismo and test pipe combo....Its sounds like total a$$......

 

My little weaksauce video of a few drivebys. Fujitsubo + turbo w/straight pipe.

If you are looking for the quietest I would get the Fuji. The Nismo is slightly louder than the Fujitsubo even when you have your stock cats and headers, but once you put after market cats and/or headers it will be quite abit louder and some what raspy compared to Fuji. Another exhaust I recommend is the Tanabe Medalion Touring and I must say it is very quiet and sounds very nice imo. Also both Fujitsubo and Tanabe do not include the y-pipe unlike the nismo. So you save abit of cash if you get the nismo.

So imo I would go with:

1. Fujitsubo + ypipe
2. Tanabe Medalion Touring + ypipe
3. Nismo but once you have hfc or tps and headers I would not put it in the quiet list anymore

What I recommend is you go to a Z/G meet and listen to the exhaust systems and that way you are able to hear which ones you like and are quiet in your opinion since quiet can be subjective.

 

I'll add one more for Fuji.

Its deep and quiet untill you get to high RPM.

 

I don't think I saw B&B on here. I just replaced my Amuse titanium with the B&B. It is quiet at idle but has a good bark to it as she revs up. I'll grab some videos next week, but this clip on their web site is pretty much what mine sounds like:

+1. I own the Fujitubo Ti. It has a nice exotic sound. It's just a quiet as the stock exhaust doing normal driving, but resonates a beautiful note when you go WOT....
