LewisH Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 tldr: I added HFC's to my already very loud custom back section and my car set off the neighbours car alarms on cold start... Looking for suggestions on rear sections that; match with HFC's, sound sporty but not apocalyptic on start or the motorway. Full story inc pics A year ago I went to Infinity Exhausts and had them fit a fantastic custom rear section to my Mk2 Nismo. It was the perfect fitment and had a brutal but not overpowering sound. The OEM Nismo exhaust is woefully quiet. Here it is. A week ago I ordered some Berk HFC's (shout out to TORQEN for the crazy fast delivery) I didn't expect them to make too much difference to the noise but boy was I wrong... aside from the antisocial alarm triggering cold start, it was painful on the motor way 70+ mph. HFC's on. The custom system + HFC's honestly sounded like a V12 in tunnels. https://video-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t42.9040-2/34332249_629119430764015_5231747023861972992_n.mp4?_nc_cat=0&efg=eyJybHIiOjMwMCwicmxhIjo1MTIsInZlbmNvZGVfdGFnIjoic3ZlX3NkIn0%3D&rl=300&vabr=159&oh=d1b944e5ac1ebd06b81adfb50076b3d6&oe=5B170837 (not sure if the vid link will work) I lasted a week before having my OEM Nismo box put back on. I'd really like to keep the HFC's for eventual tuning. The Nismo box, as before, is too damn quiet so now I'm basically back where I started. What i'd like to find now is a great rear system that sounds sporty but will allow me to not wince when I turn it on and not give me a headache on the motorway.

Payco Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Get rid of it all and buy an Ark dual Grip. Its perfect. Sounds like a TVR, no drone and looks a million dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrLizard Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 The motordyne system is cracking - however have you considered something that resonated? either cats or at the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some very nice systems suggested but I really don't want to spend that kind of money right now. I might just get a new custom system made that is a quieter spec. Or looking at something like this: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/exhausts/exhaust-systems/9383-370z-aam-competition-s-line-axle-back-short-tail-exhaust-burnt-titanium-tips-resonated-aamc37e-tss-res-ss.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jollyranchers Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 did you notice any performance improvement with the berks on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttle response certainly felt different, better I think. Once I've got a full system I'm happy with I'll get it dyno'd and tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansJD2112 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Cobra HFCs + Ark Grip On my old 370Z.. Had them moved to my new one in April. Love the sound and no problem on my daily commute up and down motorway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cold start sounded similar to my custom + HFC setup which unfortunately set peoples alarms off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nub Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 You should have got ART Pipes they’re a fair bit quieter than any HFCs. I have the same above Ark Grip, with but ART Pipes setup and its much quieter than the above video. Im selling my ark Grip soon as I’m fitting a motordyne shockwave next week. With any HFCs/decat you need to plan to buy one of the quieter cat backs. I can post a few videos if anyone wants, but it’s the ART Pipes I feel that reduce/Eliminate any drone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Be interesting to see a vid of the difference between the Ark and Motordyne set ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
