Just a curious question. When I start my car, I don't hear that famous growling stock exhaust sound on my 2007 G35 Coupe. But on my neighbors 2006 (same car), I can hear his.

Mine is an automatic and his is a manual.

Is there something I'm missing, such as cleaning something or because he has a manual transmission car?

I should also note it's usually on cold starts, but when the car is warm and I start it up, it's not as loud as my friends

Something I'm missing here?

Thanks, kind regards.

 

Is he breathing better upfront? (Intake mods)

 

I have an 06 auto as well, JWT pop charger and Z-tube installed and I still feel like the exhaust is fairly quiet upon start up... cold starts don't seem very growly unlike the warm starts.

 

No mods. Complete stock. I guess it only happens with cold starts I assume? And maybe it's not as loud since I'm inside the car?

I love the stock exhaust sound, just would like a lil bit louder of the growling sound.

 

I'm getting resonated test pipes installed soon, they are supposed to increase the volume but keep the stock note.

 

Yea man if ur listening inside of course it wont seem the same. The g and z tone isnt a growl. Its almost a voice.

 

^i want what he's on
