Best exhaust mod for NA ?

Hi guys,
Im looking for an exhaust for my G35 NA. 04 G35 SEDAN 5AT.
What would be the best setup for performance wise?
Apexi N1 Single muffler.
Top Speed Pro 1.
Blitz Nur Spec.

Will I loose power if I go with any of above mentioned?
Will It look RICEY if I go for one of these mufflers?

People recommend HKS Sport or Stillen. (they both have dual tip)

Please help needed =D

I would wait for MD (motordyne engineering) for their soon to be released MD exhaust, which is supposed to offer the best performance with minimal drone.

I had the stillen TD, loved it, but family couldn't stand the drone... HKS rear muffler is a good piece for sound and look, but doesn't offer as much in terms of performance.

Just my 2 cents

Look into the Fast Intentions dual exhaust. Also keep an eye out for the Motordyne exhaust that is coming out soon. Both are very high quality.

Correct me if I am wrong, but FI doesn't have a system for pre 07 sedans (they tried tho).

You are correct.

To the OP, don't forget about Borla. I agree about waiting for the Motordyne, but if you are in a hurry Borla is a true dual and cheaper (about $200-$300) than Stillen.

Hehe ... thank all you guys.

But I kinda need to take it easy =p
I wanna change only the catback 1st because money is a issua right now =(

Blitz costs 374.
Apexi muffler costs 212 + custom piping for around 40-50.
Top speed catback costs 250.

I want to spend like max 500 installed =)

I was waiting for MD too but i think its gonna go over 500 .. =(

I think what you meant is "Axleback", which refers to only the rear muffler. Catback refers to an exhaust system that starts from the catalytic convertor, and hence known as catback.

For the axleback, I would highly recommend you to try to get the HKS unit, it has the best review on this board. You might even be able to get an used at a relatively competitive price.

If you want to find the lowest price for axlebacks, try messaging the sponsors on this board that sell exhausts, they might have some good deals.

Stillen also make's an axle back system for around $300 and it's a single tip, seem's like that's what ur lookin' for. afterwards you can always upgrade ur y-pipe & mid pipe.

Esprit front pipe replaces mid and y-pipe, pretty rare part and very JDM...


-or for a lil' cheaper you could always just get an after market y-pipe and just get a custom resonator dropped in to replace the one on the stock 05-06 sedan or coupe middy.
