it's a great sounding exhaust, higher pitched than most of the aftermarket exhausts... there's a reason it's so popular


there are plenty of other sound clips, search on youtube

HKS is one of the higher pitched exhausts out there. Not deep at all. But it does sound unique & good to me...

Wow that idiot in the first sound clip revved the car to 5k+ before the poor car was properly warmed up. Hell, the initial startup idle which keeps the car at~1400 RPM to accelerate the cars warm up wasn't even over yet.

Its a shame to see a good car mistreated =(

Exhaust sounds great though, definitely one of my choices im mulling over.

keep your thoughts to yourself newb... i didn't rev the engine at all until after about 2 min after it was started. the engine was already somewhat warm when it was started, as i had gotten home about 45 min before. and even so, i only revved it to about 5k rpms in the video. i'd be surprised if you even knew how to drive a 6MT properly

So because Im new to this forum, and this car....im a newb?

Wow I didnt know life started at the g35..........

The car was clearly still in its warm-up phase in the video, this DOES NOT HAPPEN if the car was warmed up to its safe temperature level. As far as I could tell the video did not cut and restart at a later time. You may have had the car out earlier, but in that video you revved the car while it was idling at ~1400 rpm, which is what it does in its warm-up phase.

Id be surprised if you know how to drive any car properly with this blatant abuse to your G35.

My objective was not to argue with anyone but to make sure others know this is not how you should treat your car.....ANY car for that matter. If you attempt to turn this into a fight I simply will not respond, arguing over the internet is a waste of time.

the rpm's were a little higher than regular idle (around 1.3k) because the car was slightly cold. but like i said before, i had just got home from driving the car about 45 min before that. it was a cold start to some extent, but not a completely cold start as if I had not driven the car at all for hours. i don't abuse my car. if you don't like starting fights and arguments over the internet, i suggest you stop going around and calling people idiots

The idiot remark was too far. I am sorry
