350z Godspeed catback exhaust review
The rep's are not as bad as everyone is making them out. Yeah, they drone hard because of the super free flowing (cheap) resonators. If you put an x-pipe in the system it transforms the exhaust. I just got rid of mine and replaced it with a Fujitsubo... and I'd be lying to you if I claimed the Fuji sounded better, to me. However without the X-mod to the system, it drones way too much and doesn't sound like a Japanese engine. But with it, it's drone is reasonably low on a lightly modified car and the note sounds really nice on acceleration and especially good on decel.
Note: I like racecar rasp.

^+1 on the x-pipe.
The resonated x-pipe really transforms the exhaust. Just weld it in place of the h-pipe and resonators. It will sound totally different. Almost no drone on the freeway.
I will be getting a TDX2 soon.

Resonated Magnaflow X-muffler (in place of the system's resonators) or a basic X-pipe in front of the system's resonators. If you use a basic x-pipe, it does look a lot cleaner and you can show your muffler guy a picture of the ARK Grip system to copy.

This is what I did to mine.
The H-pipe is a joke. Only a 1/2" hole.
Resonators started to come apart.
Installed the resonated x-pipe and it sounds 10x better. Has that "rolling rumble" sound.

Yeah i usually figured that most people get rid of the bar because its like a metal tube with an opening of a pin hole lol.
I'm putting together a M2 exhaust with the Magnaflow x pipe as well I want to hear how yours sound in normal driving, because these replicas drone is killing me.
