I had experimenting with the position of the sub-box in the trunk and at first I also decided that it would logically sound best looking to the hole in the backseat, but it sounded TOO FLAT for me there.

So, after several experiments with the positioning, I moved it to the place near the rear taillight so it would focus another taillight and it gave me MUCH more better bass (more realistic and FAT ).

I beleive we both have sedans with the same inner acoustic scene, so it might help you!

exhaust

so i wasnt planning on doing exhaust this soon but ARK Performance has theirs on sale for $979 during the holidays so i started listening to exhausts and am deciding between two

ARK or borla

i like the borla because it creates a lower tone and i like the ARK because it keeps the infiniti tone. it seems to me all the other exhausts i listened to were a bit higher pitched. am i wrong in this assessment? is there another low tone exhaust yall think i should look at?

if borla or another system is the better exhaust i will just wait until after my wheel purchase to do this, but if ARK is the best decision i should grab it now at the discount. is that a large enough discount to bump up my exhaust purchase to now? here is their sale page

Well its honestly personal preference bud.
From my experience, the ark exhaust puts out a much bolder vq tone. and IMO thats what its all about.
with borla a throaty rumble. I was actually in the market for both of these. Borla is actually a clamp down exhaust
other than the traditional bolt on. As far as horsepower gains ( CMIIW) a true dual would put out the most power ,
other than the factory style where it is sharing one muffler..

I chose the ark for my g coupe. No regrets here.
Good luck!

The Borla has a really NICE sound, but if u plan to add HFC be aware that it would become too loud. I had to add Moroso spiral flow resonators to reduce the drone!

Anyway Borla+Berk's HFC - is the winner in hp/tq gains!

what exactly is a clamp down exhaust and is that a bad thing? and i agree about the true dual and am not considering doing anything else, is the borla not a true dual?

i do plan to do Berk HFC after my intake. do you think adding the berk to the ARK would make their tone a little louder and lower? and do you think it is actually a noticeable difference in gains doing one or the other?

just because im working slow on a college student budget doesnt mean you have to hate. i understand the only REAL mod i have on the car is my drop springs, but i still have over 1k of my hard earned money into this car not to mention doing everything myself. since as a driver you spend the most time in the cabin, i decided to make myself comfortable on the inside [audio system, clean radar mount, iphone solution, video capabilities, white LEDs] before spending my money on performance and appearance.

i have no doubt that in time i will have a cleanly moded G that most can appreciate [even you!], so there is no reason to put down the progress i have made so far, albeit little progress.

you cant really call it stock when the person has changed out and added quite a few little things including springs, leds, sub, mounts etc; yes its not modded enough to be noticed right off the bat, but still not stock
