You forgot Invidia Gemini

 

Invidia is barely stock +1 loudness.

I feel like IPL stock exhaust is actually louder, but I haven't compared side by side. The upside of Invidia is that it's closest to stock tone. I personally think the stock tone is actually the sexiest of them all but it's just kind of anemic. If you get Invidia though, you're getting it for the sound; not performance. I think they claim something like 2-4whp.

 

Not when Z1 test pipes are added

 

^ that's not apples to apples.

You can always swap test pipe.

 

It sounds much better than stock with a low rumble to it. I drove it for a while without test pipes. It's also louder than stock for sure when you get on it.

Best part is that it has everything. Y-pipe, resonators, x-pipe and mufflers. All while having a mirror finish.

Lets not forget the price if you want to compare apples to apples because it does matter.

Best for those that don't want a loud exhaust and still be heard.

But add test pipes and she really wakes up, lots of video on youtube under G37, 350z & 370z.

 

What decibel are you at with Invidia + test pipes? That's a weird combo IMO. Going with the loudest cat option and quietest CBE.

Yeah invidia makes your car a true dual exhaust, but I honestly don't think that counts for too much because of the miniscule gains. I guess mirror finish is nice, but you will barely see it. It's not like the muffler looks super nice or anything either.

Price is like $900, right? Still not cheap for the value you get back IMO. I think Invidia's only selling point is to sell to people who REALLY want a CBE but want to keep their car as stock as possible.

For me personally, it doesn't make much sense. I would just get a tanabe/topspeed axelback and call it a day. Both offer more value than invidia.

 

I want to find someone to swap stock exhaust with my MotorDyne full exhaust system for $1500. Do you guys think this is doable? Why the hell would i do that? I'm going to sell my 2013 G37S graphite :

and there's no way I'll recoupe (pardon the pun) that 2k back!

 

 

 

how does an axleback with stock mid and y pipe outperform a full catback? I have stillen cbe with obx resonated tp, i hate it. Its loud and raspy. I just got fi resonated test pipes and am about to order the gemini. I want as much performance as possible with as a sound close to stock, i guess im old and dont need all that noise lol. I guess i need to research those hp numbers because because im not trying to be any slower than i already am!

 

^ do some research on performance gain from gemini. I'm just operating off of hearsay. People say you don't get much performance out of gemini.

I think you're raspy mostly because of the test pipe. Why don't you get a hfc or just go with stock cats? See if that solves your problem.

 

Apologies for the n00b: are the Top Speed Axle-back exhausts for the coupe still a thing? I've been searching, and I see posts about "OMG only $285" from less than a year ago, but I can't find them anywhere either in stock or near that price.

Can someone point me in the right direction or suggest an axle-back that is comparable in price/quality?

I'm only looking for something slightly louder and more aggressive than stock and to pair up with my autokitsx diffuser.

Thanks for any help!
