Now I am starting to hear a growl starting at around 3500. I have a Fast Intentions on its way but this was a nice start. Those considering the z-tube and k&n drop in its a nice mild mod, low budget that makes it a lil more fun to drive that G35.
I've come a little ways. But to be honest that first time I heard that Z-Tube (1st mod) talking trash it was amazing. Now it sounds a bit louder and deeper with a Plenum spacer and Fast Intentions Exhaust but nothing like the first time.
HFC on the way.

Instead of the tradition start with Ztube I went with Plenum, and MREV2. That roared big time! and then I added my Berk HFC's. WOW just WOW... it roars even louder and very high pitch. Gets compliments from wifes workers. I added the ztube and it muffles the sound out a bit giving it more of a low rumble.

The Berk HFCs are next on the list. People have recommended the test pipes but that is too much for a dd. I was looking for the deep growl that's why I got the Fast Intentions. Spacers and MREV2 was a great move.

Have you dynoed your car Berk HFC + Fast Intentions CBE. I wanted to see how it fairs compared to a combo like MD shockwave dual + ART pipes. Dyno graphs I've seen on this forum shows 317 rwhp. I really like Fast Intentions exhaust but the performance MD gives is mind boggling. Hard to choose.

No I haven't dynoed it yet. If you like the FI go with it. You can find them for a good price in the Marketplace.

I think I will go with Fast Intentions. Just wanted to added that Ztube really help open the air flow in my car and it made a difference in gas mileage.
