Hey guys, i know there a lot of forums about the various midpipes available, but there doesn't seem to be a general consensus on which swap is better for the '04 g35x. I know there's a clip of the 06 midpipe, but i couldn't find a sound clip of the coupe midpipe. Does anyone have a clip? Or has anyone tried both and felt that one was better than the other? Sorry if this seems to be a repetitive thread!

 

Why did you start a new thread on the same topic when the previous one you started had all the answers in it?

There is no definate answer to which one is better. Some people prefer the sound from the coupe midpipe, some prefer the quieter 05-06 sedan midpipe. Personally, I just had a 05 coupe midpipe installed on our 03 sedan today, sounds a little throaty at 1500 RPM, but other than that a LOT lighter and sounds more like the coupe.

 

They're both good..flip a coin and call it a day

 

has anyone tried both or have a sound clip of the coupe midpipe??

 

yeah thats weird, i've never actually heard a clip of the coupe middy on the sedan. i second this!

 

The midpipe coupe will be a little louder than the 05 midpipe. I have a 05 sedan and swapped my midpipe out with a coupe midpipe. Overall, I say it's about maybe 15% louder with more of a raspy/throaty note. Works great if you want a little more volume from your exhaust but don't want to go aftermarket.

 

does changing the midpipe to a coupe midpipe lower fuel economy??

 

+1!

Yes, why another thread?!?

 

No -- if anything, the coupe midpipe is less restrictive than the stock 03-04 sedan midpipe. Less restrictive = same or better mpg. Really, you are over-analyzing this whole topic. Just get the midpipe already.

 

I got the coupe middy for my 04x and I love the sound. sounds like the coupe and a lot lighter than our stock mid section.

 

gdo do you have a soundclip? I might be looking into this mod. I searched and found sounds from 03 and 04's but not on 05 & up. I have an 06 sedan, but not ready to go aftermarket exhaust. Thanks.

 

Sorry, I don't have a sound clip. I'll try to get something during the weekend.

 

last question, does the year of the coupe mid pipe matter? or are all midpipes from 03+ the same?
