techinstaller Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Well sounds like the OEM exhaust is starting to blow and the rear box and usual joint is rot as a pear so going to be needing a replacement . I have allways thought if it was needed i would fit a miltek, i love the sound of the oem before it started blowing and want similar or very slightly louder but 100% deffinatly not any quieter than the oem exhaust am i looking at the right choice.?

Jp606 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Miltek is quite tame compared to other options, but is the most OEM like. Best value for money is the Cobra or Scorpion, much better sound than OEM and louder. If you want to spend more then look at the Invidia Gemini which is a true dual exhaust. Tarmac Sportz, who is a trader on here, has sound clips of the exhausts they sell on their website Edited October 25, 2013 by Jp606 Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Milltek would offer a step up from the OEM system, the Cobra and Scorpion system that we do make excellent replacements for the OEM system, Cobra can be seen here - http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/63096-cobra-sports-exhaust-from-cougar-store/ Drop us a call or PM and we'll be happy to help...

Hooch Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Scorpion is a cheap man's alternative to a Miltek, its cheaper but still really really well made and sounds lovely. Quote
spursmaddave Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Scorpion is a cheap man's alternative to a Miltek, its cheaper but still really really well made and sounds lovely. Scorpion is cheaper because it is just the back box, a Milltek comes with Y-pipe and centre section and is bigger bore too Agree a Scorpion sounds nice Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Dave, the Scorpion is mid and rear silencer... Quote
spursmaddave Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Dave, the Scorpion is mid and rear silencer... Everyday is a schoolday, thought it was just the box Definitely no y-pipe though with it is there? Quote

dragon Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 If you can stretch your dosh maybe invidia? Quote
Neilp Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Scorpion sounds awesome. With normal cats there is no drone but sounds great when on the gas Quote
techinstaller Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 Thanks for all the feedback. I can take it for sure then that Miltek is definatly the nearest to OEM in looks as well as sound then? i am VERY worried it will turn out quieter than OEM and i do want a slightly louder more aggresive noise mainly when standing on the loud pedal ,I have a younger mate working with me and he has just fitted a miltek on his astra GSI and we were both a bit surprised how quite it is. I assume if it was a bit to quiet i could allways throw some Dcats on which would increase the noise? Another reason i am swayed to the Miltek was im sure i saw a thread some where on the forom that Abbey do a package deal icluding the uprev ,so for one i assume the exhaust is good if they fit and sell them and second im tempted to do the uprev in any case ,although not sure if its wise on an 82,000 miler ? thanks again for your input Quote
JordanHill Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I have a milltek exhaust and i can tell you it is not quiet in anyway! Where are you based? I could show you before you buy haa Quote
tony.r123 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I have the Invidia, great sound. I'd be happy to meet up for you to hear it and judge for yourself if local Quote
techinstaller Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 I am located in Eastbourne East Sussex ,have only seen a couple of Zeds around here tho so be surprised if anyone is local but hey you never know! Quote
JordanHill Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Miles away from me im afraid buddy maybe at a meet soon haa Quote
Yella Fella Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Also consider Fast Intentions, yes its American, but my it made a nice sound... its not as bassy as the video makes it out, its loud, but doesn't drone on motorway driving in my opinion. But I do have decats fitted as well... check it Quote
Stutopia Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Get a cheap Scorpion then use the saved cash for Berks sounds ace to my ears, no drone, but loud when you crank it up to 11. Quote
Daryl Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Anything aftermarket will be louder than the standard exhaust. No idea why they made the 350/370 so quiet. Iv just fitted Invidia high flow cats to my Scorpion exhaust,which i already loved, and now love it even more. The Cobra exhaust also sounds sweet,a friend of mine has one on his Zed with standard everything else. Unless your going big bucks, id get the Cobra or Scorpion and replace the Y pipe at the same time. These are the other weak link in the system along with the flange. Quote
bodeboo Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Can thoroughly recommend the scorpion exhaust. I was the same as you, OEM started to blow and wanted similar look but slightly sweeter exhaust note without it being in yer face. Got mine from CS and was exactly what I wanted at a great price. 1 Quote

Scorpion & Cobra....... I wonder if anyone ever built an exhaust and called it the Aadvark Sent from the golf club... Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 If you are doing it on a budget in stages then Scorpion, plus Stillen Y pipe plus HFCs is a natural progression that gives an awesome end result. If you have the money to do it all in one go then I would suggest a true dual system such as an Invidia and HFCs. Have a click on the website below, I can do discounts for packages etc so feel free to drop me a pm Chris Quote
