hey all. im making an exhaust purchase soon and i would like everyones input. i am leaning towards ARK because i love the sound and the way it looks. anyone have any other exhaust recommendations i should look into besides ARK? nothing overly pricey, anything under 1200 i guess ( since ARK is 1200 and that was the most i was willign to spend haha ). also open to other suggestions such as pairing with tps/hfc's. thanks!

 

Most will tell you fast intentions (fi) is the best. I'm trying to decide whether or not to make the move on an exhaust, don't want to lose the whole lux car thing...

 

Member audiophool has a Fast Intentions exhaust for 2nd Gen X that will easily fit your budget.

 

Fast intentions and Ark make a catback for the x. Tanabe axle back will also fit. A new fast intentions exhaust will run you about $1300.

^ oh sweeet. thanks for sharing!

u have the invidia catback? i was looking into that as well. price is 795 doesnt seem bad at all. whats ur opinion on it?

 

I really like the invidia. I was debating between invidia and fast intentions, but the price of the invidia was too good to pass up. Still happy with my decision after almost a year of having it installed. Only thing for you is invidia doesn't make an exhaust for the x. I've seen at least one person make a custom y pipe to fit the invidia on an x. Posted link below of my install.

^ ah thats right i keep forgetting exhaust for the x is different. sigh. maybe i shouldnt have gotten an x

anyways thanks for the input!

 

search!

stillen or fast intentions.

I personally love my stillen exhaust. sounds great.

 

BORLA FTW!

Really deep and exotic V8 sound, very good quality (4 years of abuse without a single issue), lighter than stock for 15-20lbs!

 

ibtl :P

 

I enjoy the stillen exhaust alot. It seems like it sounds better and better everyday. Its not to loud inside the car but outside the car it sounds like a 370z and had a nice pop and gurgle when downshifting or upshifting. Extremely good quality seeing how it went though a winter in the middle of ohio.

But ARK and FI are great exhausts too

it really comes down to personal preference but believe me, any choice you make is better than stock

 

that ARK grip exhaust..i believe that's the name...no doubt about it

 

Do you not like the OEM exhaust note? Back when I was still driving my Accord, I would see/hear Infinitis pass me and think "dam that sounds good!"

Although I think the G coupe and the FX actually have the best notes.... I've tried to hear the exhaust of my X sedan in alleyways or riding next to walls, but can't hear it too well. I have CAI so I do have a little extra growl coming out. Sounds mean under WOT from inside the car

 

Yea I do. I was dissapointed in the sound, it didn't sound like the Gs or Fx's. The new G37s exhaust are quieter too I think. People love my stollen exhaust. They say it sounds almost like the coupe G but a little deeper. Haha nobody thinks it's a stilled till I tell them
