Don't listen to that hater. I appreciate the time stamps in the comments instead of scrolling through those chapter windows

[@sleepy_ipl]

​@sirspeedsalot these time stamps go straight to the dyno session to hear the exhaust note and see the wheel horsepower readings instead of watching the un-boxing and install.

[@sirspeedsalot]

@@sleepy_ipl who cares about watching the unboxing and install ? I just needed to hear the exhaust to know which one to choose . I didn't even know he did it that way , that's even worse . Z1 times stamps make more sense.

[@sirspeedsalot]

@@sleepy_ipl says no man ever .... If you don't watch the install and unboxing how will you know about the fitment.. it's not all about the sound that's why they did it the way they did it . I wouldn't want an exhaust I can't install myself and some of them they show you is too hard to install yourself .

[@slevpy]

my unbiased take purely based on the way the exhaust SOUNDS. Im an audio engineer whos been practicing for about 5-6 years now so i hope you can take my judgment well. #1. Motordyne shockwave: sound is on the deeper end. i have 0 complaints, sounds good from start to end of the power band, its a little raspy but also very smooth at the same time, not over powering but not subtle either. a great balanced exhaust. #2. fast intentions: sounds beautiful. has a very aggressive sound to it that i really like, very unique almost like a guitar riff. its a little raspy but not over barring i have 0 to no complaints on the sound. #3. Z1 race dual: sound good, kinda has a r35 sound to it that i really like. its pretty loud, you could break a lot necks with one for sure, its very saturated. its very raspy but not in a bad way. not much to complain about if your not a stickler on how loud it sounds, then again z1 offers silencers. #4. Tomei: The og trumpet exhaust. karens will hate you. My experience with tomei in the past has kind of been a trial and error, if your vq is modded, even boosted... the tomei will sound GREAT, amazing, wonderful. Now if a tomei is the only mod you've done to your car, prepare to get a comment section full of trumpet emojis. again loud proud and flamboyant, can be done right, just needs supporting mods to bring out its true sound. #5. Invidia Gemini: this is what i run on my z. Its a very comfortable volume at lower rpms but you can make it loud when you want it too, not the worst ehaust note ever but no where near the best ive heard. very balanced for daily driving. #6. HKS Hi-Power: sounds great, has that classic need for speed sound to it. 1 thing i notice is there's an annoying ringing sounds that i really hate, its really ruins the sound for me. its considered a gentleman's exhaust so at low rpm its a very quiet ride but can be loud when you want it to be. #7. ark grip: there's not much i can really say i dislike about the sound, definitely more of a smooth refined oem+ sound with how muffled it is, so if lots of mid and high end rasp aren't your thing them i could see this working for you. its not personally my style cuzz it just sounds like a very muffled stock exhaust. #8. Z1 single race: its sounds good but becomes more of a trumpet the more the revs climb. its pretty loud definitely gonna break necks. #9. Borla S-type: Definitely one of the deepest exhaust note the vq platform is offered. the exhaust sounds good while wild on throttle has a smooth growl to it, but its sounds pretty choked like it has a leak at lower rpms its a pretty ugly sound coming off the gas. #10. z1 touring: this is not a dis, it sounds like the stereotypical 16 year old owner's vq. raspy, trumpety, and loud. i was very confused how you guys even placed it at #1 when it was clearly the worst sounding exhaust in this video. was it for marketing, was it because you where thinking of every other factor except the way it sounds? not sure.

[@TheLoneDegen]

You guys rated your exhaust the highest.. Yet Motordyne is #9. The motordyne took me 1-2 Hours to install. Best sounding, not a hassle at all worth the money over all those others. There is no comparison. I have ran HKS, INJEN, & Motordyne. Way to plug your exhaust over Ark, Motordyne, HKS.

[@Wigwhom86]

Yeah Big bias here, everyone knows motordyne sounds the best just expensive

[@phobia8879]

its subjective depending on the consumers preference at the end of the day. for example, I love my Invidia Gemini and i think its the best choice as far as price, decibel, install wasnt long at all, gains are reasonable compared to the others, and packaging was great. Now at the end of the day I would probably go with something just a bit louder. Nothing wrong with plugging your own product, at the end of the day its about providing a solid product for people to enjoy. In my opinion, their exhausts seem to be just as good as any other ones on here.

[@Bonemaro2000]

Where can we see a spreadsheet of all the data collected so that we can draw our own conclusions as to which system is best for our needs?

[@onelessski9764]

I actually thought the Z1 Touring sounded the best and didn’t realize until the end of the video that it was theirs

[@EddySpaghetty]

I'm not defending them at all and yeah I'm sure there's some bias but I feel like the people who are considering Motordyne aren't the same ones also considering the Z1 exhausts so it doesn't really matter what they rate the exhaust. Draw your own conclusions and put your own money where your taste is. If you can drop Motordyne money on your exhaust and you like how it sounds more than the others then there's your answer there, if you only have the budget for an ebay exhaust or an AutoZone muffler special then it still doesn't matter what Z1 thinks because you're limited by budget. I'm on my search for my 3rd G and I'm highly considering either ISR or Z1, not once have I considered Motordyne and for the price of Tomei I rather just get a custom Titanium exhaust made. Exhausts really aren't that serious specially because they don't make a ton of power on the 3.7 BUT that's coming from an LS3 owner where untuned ebay long tubes gained 15whp and a full 3in. Tuned exhaust gained 35whp so there's a slightly different perspective there. TL,DR: it's your money and your car buy whatever you want for whatever sound you want at whatever price you can find, it shouldn't matter what an exhaust manufacturer thinks 👍🏼🤙🏼

[@gc4rr1]

Great video! As a 370z owner since '09 (14yrs now), I've been through 5 of the systems tested, in order: Invidia → HKS → ARK → FI → Motordyne. Motordyne took the cake in my book, its sound is unmatched (paired with HFCs). That Z1 touring seems quiet interesting though, might have to check it out.

[@challenger909]

I have the touring on a 14 nismo, has a nice cold start rumble to it, quite at idle, and it does have a good sound when reving it out. I have it with the non resonated y pipe. The motodyne is probably better all around but you do pay 2k plus for it so it better. Lol

[@StillCoastin]

From my past experience working on the VHR motor. IMO the best exhaust is Motordyne hands down. The sound is intoxicating when the stock catalytic converters are removed. Second runner up would have to be a 350z Tomei due to not having that HORRIBLE bend near the sun frame. The key to the Tomei is to not removed the catalytic converters. Just do the “Cat-Back” I’ve owned ISR,Invidia Gemini,HKS Hi Power as well. ISR is hands down the best bang for buck exhaust all around. From the Long Tube Headers,Y Pipe, and Single Exit.

[@colinhawks2469]

Myself and my friends totally agree with you! I have the Motordyne set along with the decatted ART test pipes and oh man do we all love the sound it makes! Even my neighbors think it sounds awesome! lol

[@IPL_VIC]

I’m planning on running a custom double resonated y pipe on a tomei because im 90% sure anyone that gets a tomei is never going to keep the cats 😂. There’s a couple guys that have ran a resonated y pipe with a tomei and helps clear any unwanted rasp and drone while still being fairly loud. Now I won’t say it’s better than motordyne but for the money, the weight saving and overall best power gains, you kind of can’t beat the tomei.

I've even compared it to a buddy of mine who has the Motordyne system which is a crowd favorite, and I'd still take the Z1 Touring over it. I don't need to be loud all the time, but when I downshift and floor the pedal, it sounds amazing.

[@ssfirehawk02]

Fast Intentions always fits perfect. You keep everything loose until the whole system is on, they tighten from the front, moving back. My assumptions is y’all just bolted it up real quick. Second, Motordybe is waaaay better than that rating. The touring really feels middle of the road. The single exit race tho. That makes sense.

I live in GA, and I love your shop & and videos, guys! I paused the video right in the beginning right after that shot of the Z with the single exhaust. One of my favorite features of the 370Z is the absolutely beautiful split dual exhaust. I would go with a true dual exhaust with an h-pipe, along with high flow cats. I would never ruin the looks of this car by putting some nasty single exhaust with a fart-can hanging off the back of it! Then you still have the indent on the other side where the second exhaust tip is supposed to be. Gross! I wouldn't care if it saved 100 pounds and added 50 HP... You couldn't pay me enough to do this BS to this incredible machine. In fact, if I absolutely had to ride in a 370Z with a single exhaust & fart-can, I would be so embarrassed, that I would lower my head by leaning forward, so nobody could see me in there lol. Thanks for making this, guys! I'm sure it will be awesome 👍

One point to consider with the Fast Intentions exhaust is that you have options on the muffler length and the x-pipe resonator length. In the video it looks as if the sport mufflers and resonators are used, which will be louder. I went with the longer 18" resonators and 14" touring mufflers which results in a quieter exhaust. Aside from the slightly lighter weight of the shorter mufflers and resonators, I understand that there is a minimal loss of power with the longer mufflers and resonators.

Other thing I might be wrong about is the air filter element being not the factory equipped cotton, it must be a high flow such as the AFe or even filters were taken out of the boxes or something!

He told me everything lined up fine and apart from difficulty with a few of the exhaust nuts he was quite impressed how things went together. The headers are wrapped.

[@fishingwithadrian754]

Great video but what about the aam true dual 3 inch exhaust?

[@redline350zHR]

dude! I need to hear this one also! idk if i should get it for my 350z hr...is it insane loud??

[@crayfishgaming3450]

If yall talking bout sounding like a racecar. That tomei lol. It sounds perfect just for the higher rpms. I also got the holes drilled for the silencer and it works quite well. With both levels of the silencer are on you pretty much only here induction sounds from your intake

[@jeffstake2570]

Great vid . I have a DNA motoring true dual and Berk resonated cat deletes and it sounds great. Its a very low tone , kinda growels until you run the rpm up. With both pieces together it does make the heat shields rattle a little but thats an easy fix. Welds are clean and it went right in with no screwing around with wood and hammers. For hundreds less I may add. I did wrap the Berks with titanium heat wrap to keep underhood temps down.

[@slumygoat]

Motordyne or Fast Intentions hands down

[@ariesrose5846]

i have invidia gemini on my z atm, i really like it, not too aggressive but sounds great when you punch it

[@phobia8879]

Same. coming from straight pipe there is no more drone in the cab lol, it was a nightmare on straight pipe although it sounded pretty mean despite the raspy-ness. I would like to get a little more sound out of the Gemini exhaust though, what do you think about long tube headers? or test pipes?

[@ariesrose5846]

@@phobia8879 just my own taste in exhaust sounds, but the invidia gemini with motordyne art test pipes gives a deeper, smoother sound without the rasp and gives the gemini a lot more sound. Cant speak much on the long tube headers but I am running the art pipes+invidia on my z now and really enjoy it.

[@Chris-nq3et]

@@ariesrose5846did you dyno it? if so how much power u putting out?

[@lostunder12]

I love my motordyne shockwave, it is paired with berks HFC and stock headers on my '17 Z34 idling sounds tame but 3k revs and higher is eargasm. Has a drone 6th gear above 50mph cruising. It is pricey and a very loong build time. But to me its worth it, next is gonna be motordyne modular LTH

[@Gramje]

I’m forced induction and my preference is the Gemini. It sounds the best under boost!!

[@taylorasbell7074]

What a surprise, z1 exhaust is rated the highest over very well known brands

[@fb25stormtrooper]

😮 is that a genny in the background? Bk1 or bk2?

[@ghost_t.t.s3380]

how did you do the pops with the invidia exhaust ?

[@T7M7P7L7R]

what a great video

[@phobia8879]

Invidia Gemini is good if you are ok with having something less rowdy than the others. I could use more sound to be honest. Would long tube headers or test pipes increase the sound output?

[@ogkrillin9834]

Yes. I had long tube headers installed after the installation of the Gemini and the sound is definitely a lot more noticeable, at idle it sounds cammed

[@danielwood6553]

Not sure if you mentioned in the video but what cat setup were you using for these? I know you said you started with a stock catback and stock intake but never mentioned the cat. Are you using standard cat, HFC or test pipes?

[@vq37pete]

I have the Z1 Touring exhaust and I have zero regrets. But I must admit the Ark Grip sounded way better than I thought. And btw, what kind of tune do you have on the test car? It burbles like crazy. 😅

[@Anonymous-zp6pw]

What z1 Y pipe did you get?

[@vq37pete]

@@Anonymous-zp6pw I got the resonated modular stainless Y-pipe.

[@vampfoo]

are the pops on this z stock??

[@saulekaravirs6585]

You guys at Z1 planning on doing this for Gs, and Qs too eventually? Maybe even new Zs once more options are on the market. This is a very helpful format.

[@Z1Motorsports23]

We will be doing a 350Z and New Z Shootout soon! As for Gs, 350Z will be the same for G35 and 370Z will be the same for G37!

been looking for a video of the Ark dual exhaust

[@spooler7828]

You installed the Fast Intentions exhaust incorrectly. It is all in how you tighten it up.

[@TheExploringZ]

But you didn't include the nameless performance exhaust I've got on mine 🤔 it sounds like no other z on the road 💯

[@chadpennington4594]

No Greddy Evo GT huh??? You could not get one I assume? Yeah, me either. That is my go to when I can. TDX was not too shabby IMO I really dig the dual setups.

[@MrMNML92]

This guy downplayed every exhaust system to make their z1 touring exhaust the best option. at least try to give an "unbiased" opinion instead of making it obvious. If you're gonna market your exhaust, then do JUST that, instead of calling all the other options, "not bad, it's okay, it's alright" but then only use the word "perfect" on your z1 product. This ain't the ultimate exhaust guide, it's the ultimate BUY our Z1 exhaust guide.🤣

[@codestorm952]

damn im kinda bummed the Greddy Evolution GT dual exhaust isnt on this list i was hoping to see it in action!

[@Hikuro2pnt0]

I'll be honest, I'm a little let down, I would of liked to of seen more. You guys carry 13 brands but you only covered 10 and there's what? 22 variations? At least should had covered Nismo and Stillen as well. I know in the words of the great George Carlin, 10 sounds more official, but for someone who's looking for a setup right now....I feel a bit bummed.

[@raulmoreno5726]

You should do this with the g37 sedan there's not enough of the sedan

[@FL.Q60]

Absolutely love this! Can you guys do one for the VR30 platform!?
