i dont plan on doing any performance work past intake and exhaust, any suggestions on a clean, watery, low sounding exhaust. i dont want a fart can and nothing too loud. once again that 350z sound


the rims are nokoyama shumaker 18's



thanks for all the input everyone!!



Go with the TRD exhaust it is nice good sound and not a fart cannon.

those rims look good on the car. :D

Yea I think you should just make the car look good, if you want to make the car go faster you might be spending more than the car's worth in aftermarket parts easy.
