Thanks. Honestly I don't have anything to compare it to. I'm the only person i know with a Z and with a exhaust at that. I installed the Berks and HKS all at one time along with the Nismo intakes (meh). So it went in 3 hours from 100% stock to that.
When it was brand new, it was VERY quiet at idle and at crusing speeds. When i got on it then, it sounded respectably loud. Now with some miles on it, its got a VERY nice burble at idle. At normal cruising speeds, its about as loud as any other similar setup. At WOT, it sounds like holy hell is being unleashed out of the back of the car. Not raspy at all. Down low it has a slight drone, from 3000 to 5500 it sounds ALOT like a older 12 cylinder Ferrari, like a 250. Albeit different understandably. It has the smooth yet complex tone of a 12 cyliner, so i would say its a tad drone-ish, not raspy at all. Then from 5500 and up it just screams like a VQ meets a Ferrari 355.
I wish i had a camera to record it somehow.

have u ever thought about a JIC exhaust? here is my 5AT G35..hfc, JIC y-pipe and 3" JIC single..stock headers and no CEL...this was recorded with a digi cam..not a camcorder so the quality is not as good..but u'll get the idea..i was originally gonna go with the HKS but it seems like a lot of ppl have that..I went single b/c I was originally gonna boost the car and boost runs better with a single..its all a matter of being different...i like how it flutters at the end of each rev like the Supra exhausts do...g/l with your decision
