Wanting to put a injen exhaust on my 05 Z, How does it sound, Any gain or any draw backs?
Here's a quick clip of what my Injen exhaust sounds like with resonated test-pipes and a H-pipe added. If I had the chance to do it all over again I would personally save up for the HKS exhaust which looks very similar to the Injen. But since the HKS is nearly twice the $$$, I'm pretty happy with the Injen.
The injen exhaust is certainly louder than stock but after three months I’m getting accustomed to the volume. Of course, “sound” is a judgment call. The other night a friend drove the Z so that I could hear it from the OUTSIDE, and the volume is far from absurd. I suggest that you attend a Z-Meet and look and listen before buying. Like all exhausts, it has a few quarks:
I can drive around the neighborhood at 1,500 rpm and the exhaust is inaudible.
Cruising in sixth gear at 60 mph: the exhaust is louder than cruising at 70 mph.
Dual exhaust has an interesting resonance at particular rpm ranges.
