I have an 06 g35 sedan and really like the rasp that the coupes have when they accelerate. I've got the z-tube and changed the filter obviously not expecting it to replicate the sound. Was looking to get a full exhaust but is this the y-pipe thats making the sound? Anyhow appreciate the answer to the newb question.

 

Coupes have a completely different muffler and tailpipe setup. To sound exactly like the coupe...you need the same exhaust.

And before you ask, a coupe muffler won't fit...without seriously extensive mods like cutting out your spare tire well.

 

get a coupe midpipe

 

^^ Will help, but it takes more than that - the 06's have a large-ish muffler. Mustang's right about the only way to truly duplicate that sound, but you can coax something equally nice/better, just a little different, out of her with a handful of different setups. Search!

 

HKS rear section=better sound than z or coupe. The only drawback is some drone.

 

just get a coupe

Opinion alert.

The Coupes sound the best to me as well. Thats the sound I want, a nice stock tone. Not too loud.

 

get a coupe midpipe and b happy or get a coupe. There is now way your gonna get the same exact sound .....coupe middy close enough!!! trust me i have it on my car and sounds good enough


now about the 06 muffler problem idk research on it

 

Drone sounds good to me... I am willing to Swap my Tanabe Y-pipe back exhaust for a HKS Axleback!

 

ya I understand, I think ill just save and get a full catback exhaust system as my best bet

 

megan racing muffler without resonators, coupe midpipe and hr y pipe will not disappoint you

 

My modded dual borla sounds very much like a coupe but with some drone and louder tone. The X pipe made the sound more exotic/higher pitched along with cutting down the drone the stock Borla emits by about 1/2

 

If you want some rasp get some high flow cat's or test pipes in addition to the cat back

 

Of course it is my opinion and that is all that matters to me. Are you 5?
