Default Good sounding quiet exhaust

Guys I have been trying to figure out what exhaust to get and I need some help figuring out which to get. I had a Invidia on my old car and I loved the sound but hated how loud it is. My car is a daily driver and would like to have an exhaust but nothing loud that makes it annoying. I am thinking about the Nismo but I feel like its not much more than what the stock exhaust is. I want something deep and sounds good and something that is not loud. Maybe my computers speakers is not good enough. If you can significantly can tell the Nismo is louder and better than stock then I am all for it. Any ideas on the best quietly deep sounding exhaust? Thanks.

Anything aftermarket besides nismo is going to be quiet a bit louder. I'd stick with your nismo decision.

I really like my Bassani. It's louder than stock, but isn't obnoxious.

I am really thing Nismo but paying that much is it worth it. I know there are not going to be power gains but if someone heard my exhaust will they be able to tell its aftermarket. I want my car to be noticeable that it has an exhaust.

Loud and/or bling usually gets attention.

ok seems that Nismo is noticeable that it is aftermarket. How much difference is there between the borla and nismo?

i dont care for borla imo. I think it kills the VQ sound. The nismo is great, evo2 sounds awesome, motordyne is great too. So many decisions. Try to listen to all of them and decide for yourself we cant tell you what will be best for you.

I don't know if its me, but isn't a GOOD QUIET EXHAUST an oxymoron?

no its not, there are some obnoxious exhaust that just kill cars for a daily driver. I am looking for an exhaust that will add some deep good sound without making it too loud and droning out the inside of my car till it gives me a headache.

the nismo really isn't all that quiet, sure it may not be as bass-y as other exhausts, but you definitely can tell the exhaust is aftermarket. And it just sounds SOOO GOOD. IMO it's the best sounding exhaust ever for the Z. Keeps the signature VQ sound and gives it some more volume with a more exotic pitch.

Love mine, would never give it up for anything else.

I went with the Tanbe Hyper Medallion. IMO it is the perfect mix of aftermarket touch with out the annoyance of rice fart cans. Sounds good at WOT but sounds just as good when cruising.

Just got the Turbo XS. IMO It's a louder version of the Nismo, and it definitely gets two cheeks up on the butt dyno!!

Its not a best sounding. I know what they sound like. I am trying to get personal experience from other people on which aftermarket exhaust is on the quiet side and does not have much drone in the cabin. I have honestly never seen or heard a Z in person have an exhaust so I have no personal experience at all. If you have no opinion or advice I would appreciate it if you would just leave your negativity out. Thanks
