hello all today i was next to a Carrera GT and it had a AWE Exhaust, Made my stock exhaust (Which i love) sound like a cricket!!!! lol

also a friend of mine has a 350z with an aftermarket exaust (bought it on the car) he has no clue what it is, and to me it sounds like crap, its loud which is nice but in the higher RPMs it sound like a man Gargling mouthwash (u know the sound)

who makes or how can i modify my exhaust note to be louder, but still keep that G sound that we all love but not sound like an AD for a Listerine Commercial??
Thanks GEE_MONEY

 

^^^sorry, but by the way u said that it sounds kinda weird, do you want your exhaust louder or not? i have no idea, but i just want to clarify for others.

if you do want it louder a couple of suggestions would be:
Headers as well has HFC otherwise known as high flow cats. both of these also improve whp a small amount on non fi.

I am also interested in this same thing, if what you really want is louder, but keep the G sound, and maybe add some power while at it. i'd also like to do this for a reasonable price, anyone?

 

i live the sound the G makes i love the stock sounding sound, but it needs to be a bit louder!

now as far as my buddys 350z his is WAY louder but it sound like just crap!!
by comparison there are a lot of sports cars that are loud but sound GREAT!!!

im looking for a louder note but sound clean!

 

ok, yah, that is exactly what i'm looking for as well.

from what i've learned so far, some headers will help, as well as hfc's. these will slightly alter the sound of the exhaust, but it will sound more powerful and deep aswell and obviously it will be slightly louder. You can also run test pipes which from what i understand are illegal in some states?

 

can i modify my exhaust not to be louder,

the above is what you said at 1:06AM

now at 1:32AM you want it louder. obviously like all the people that mess with one the nicest sounding cars......have no clue

 

Well, Keep the stock exhaust and just put on HFC's or TP's.

 

Just get some berks HFCs and headers.

 

You have several ways to change the sound of your '06, HFC's at a cost of less than $500 or you could opt for a quality good sounding dual cat-back exhaust for $1400. Headers are not worth the price since that's not where most of the restriction is.... Your choice!

couple of sound clips for you if you dont want to search... I provided what the exhaust was since I have had many. If you have any other questions let me know. I dont have any vids of my XO2 exhaust I had...(knock-off HKS) same sound though..not same quality but a good exhuast if your on a budget. I also dont have my Injen Titanium Tip Track Edition shown..that exhaust however had a great sound but alot of drone. Hope this helps.

The ones with the video reel look are the vids. just click on the image to watch.

Current Setup:

Motordyne VQ Exhaust - Replacement is Y Pipe all the way back. Stock Cats and Headers.



The Look of it:



HR Y pipe - coupe mid-pipe Nismo 350z Muffler




How it looked installed:



Fast Intentions Carbon Fiber Catback with Kinetix 300 Cell HFC's.



The Look installed:




HKS with Kinetix 300 Cell HFC's



How it looks installed. You can research how they look in general. This is the most talked about exhaust for our cars. Pretty much no drone and great sound and great agressive look.

 

^^^Man, I have been so up in the air between the the FI carbon fiber cat back and the MD Shockwave. I think I just made up my mind in that vid you posted. The FI woth the HFC sounds pure sex.

 

if you want a real WOT of the FI here you go.



Subtle cruise sound.

 

Pardon the newbie ignorance but... can we bolt on a 350/370 Nismo catback to our coupes?

Or at least just the nismo muffler?

 

350z Nismo you cannot be the hanger locations are different. I believe Y PIpe is the same mid-pipe is shorter therefore hangers are in different spots. you can use the muffler but the tips will need to be extended to sit flush on the bumper.

I also think the exhaust mid pipe is a different size

370z are totally different engine, exhaust setup etc so no.

 

nismo exhaust FTW!!!

 

i meant to say "NOTE" not "NOT" as in exhaust note to be louder
