New G35 with Z tube question.
Hello all,
Have had my new '05 G35 6MT BS Coupe since last Friday afternoon. Drove away from the dealer with 17 miles on the G and after a long weekend of coastal and valley driving, my G now has 755 miles on it. Whew . . . What a blast! It's was hard keeping my G under 4k rpm . . .
I am installing an OEM Z tube, when it arrives. Obviously, my G is as stock as they come, at this point. When I install the Z tube , what can I expect with regards to the new sound quality. A bit louder is okay, but not all that important. However, I am more interested in the new tone, if any. Would the tone of the exhaust be a bit lower?
I feel that at 3k rpm and above the exhaust sounds a bit high pitched and almost ricey, if you will.
Nonetheless, I love my new G! Any and all comments would be welcome from G owners with just a Z tube mod, for starters.
Thanks!

if u wanna change the exhaust note get another exhaust.
it still might be too early tho, maybe the exhaust note will change once your car is broken in, i think mine did...?? or was it my imagination?!
