I love the way a VQ35DE sounds right off the lot. After having my car for 2.5 years it doesn't have the same tone to it, and I miss the way it used to sound. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to revive that stock VQ sound?

Thanks,

 

your an idiot

 

i know a way you can have that sounds back

its called take your motor out ship it to me then ill ship you mine.
you can also ship me your exhaust and in return ill send you my stock one

 

^^^haha

 

You going to pay freight and labor?

 

Sold. PM me for shipping details.

 

Done and done

 

k, stop messing with him (though he was asking for it ). I think he's got a legit issue and one I worry about. The turbo muffles that nice exhaust note. Is there any way to get it back with the turbo on there?

 

O' the cross which ye must bear.....

 

Well, the cams don't help either, it leaves a rather raspy sounding exhaust note. Its not smooth and sexy anymore, its rough and mean. I like smooth and sexy.....

 

Ah Kevin.....

Rasp > smooth and sexy
APS TT > 280 stock hp
Sound of BOV > *

 

I guess you need a recorder to record the stock VQ sound and play it under car when desired.. I forgot what the thing is called..

It is definitely one of the greatest inventions in the world, just like the infamous turbonator that can be stacked to yield the effect of a Turbo setup!!!

 

btw, I want to see the Foglight controller! it sounds like an useful mod to me

 

If you have a True Dual exhaust, with test pipes, i would switch it out with a Fujitsubo exhaust and high flow cats. I think that that will return some of the exotic tone.

 

I do have the APS true dual exhaust and APS test pipes.....
