My friend owns a 2003 350Z and bought a 3 inch true dule altered atmosphere exhaust and now is regretting it because of how much back pressure he lost. What Exhaust should i buy?

 

yes i live not too far from altered and have herd that exhaust and driven one with taht exhaust, i would definately never buy that exhaust unless running FI, but i am in love with my hks hi power i have nothing bad to say and i get compliments all the time

 

Fast Intentions

 

Hks Ftw

 

your friend should have bought a 2.5 inch piping exhaust... as for you search for an exhaust that you like... i dont get why people ask for what exhaust they should get... its all up to you... youtube has some good vids of different exhausts

there is HKS, Fast Intentions, Stillen, Top Speed Pro just to name a few

btw unless you plan on FI you will need to go with a 2.5 exhaust

Fast Intentions FTW

 

I thought less back pressure was good? Is that only for turbo set ups? So please don't slam me if I just asked an stupid question

 

without an FI application you lose too much low end torque with a 3 inch exhuast, the 2.5 is the perfect medium between losing some backpressure and not all that much torque down low, and more or less changes the powerband in the upper RPMs where u will really see the exhuast shine

 

I love my stillen exhaust

 

IMO, Fast Intentions was the only one that didn't have a ricey sound. It preserves the tonal quality of the VQ motor, but made it deeper and louder. It sure is a beautiful sound.

I had resonated TPs installed as well and I definitely noticed an increased responsiveness. At WOT, it just sounds badazz.

 

I was planning on getting a 3inch exhaust and eventually getting a turbo down the road (way down the road) but I guess that would not be too wise. Thanks for filling me in.

 

Yeah stick to 2.5" or smaller diameter with NA applications... high boost turbo applications can benefit from 3"

 

+10000000000

love my exhaust..add HFC's and your rocking

 

i love my hks right when i put it in i felt the power in my pedal
