Same exhaust setup on different cars.

Same exhaust setup on different cars.
Hey all, quick question. I'm not really gripping here but, why do some exhaust setups sound different on other cars? Before I got my current I setup, I like many, listened to YT vids and attended a few cars meets to listen to them and loved the sound. However, when I got my setup all pieced up, it sounded not completely different but noticeable. Any explanation for this?
Current setup is muffler delete >> HR y-pipe >> Z1 Test Pipes >> Plenum Spacer
Thanks ~

It varies dude, there are a lot of different variables and I’d imagine no two cars will always sound exactly the same. Could be anything from a short ram intake vs a cai, length of time with that setup, y pipe and brand, hfcs and brand, header etc. Are you trying to compare the sound of your exact setup to another car you’ve heard in person (not on YouTube) who has the exact same setup? I imagine your current setup is pretty loud.

It is pretty loud when you get on it a wee bit and WOT, but it's a deep/High pitched VQ grumble. I didn't think brand noise would play a major factor in sound as most test pipes outside of art pipes are fairly similar. Same logic behind why some people get that hissing noise on deceleration with test pipes while some don't even though there's 0 leaks and everything's bolted up.
Now, in the future, I was thinking about replacing the mid pipe or have my exhaust guy re-do my muffler-delete as I think one of the welds has a leak,(evident from water dripping out when sprayed from the tail pipes).

Listening to our exhaust system on YT is a joke, you'll never hear what they really sound like until you hear them in person! If you intend to buy a really good exhaust system attend a few G35 or Z meets in your area. I am living proof this works, I've run 5 exhaust systems on SLICK (two were sponsored) until I found what works best!
