Hey,

I'm getting custom cat-back exhaust for my 2004 G35 Coupe, and the guy who's going to be doing it will be welding it all and I believe he'll be using Magnaflow parts.

He said an x-pipe is a must, and he's claimed the sound will be similar to a Camaro lol...

The thing I haven't decided on is whether or not the final muffler should be like the OEM one with one large unit and 2 exhaust tips, or if I should get 2 separate mufflers (more expensive).

Is there anything else I should really get done? He quoted around $500 for the catback and the one large muffler with 2 exhaust tips, which is right in my desired price-range. I'd spend up to $600.

Thanks guys!

 

Don't rush it. Listen to the exhausts that this forum has provided for you. This thread helped me decide, hands down what I wanted and have been very, very happy with it. The G has a unique sound so everything sounds different.

I just had a custom cat back exh made. I got a megan oe rs muffler and custom mid pipe resonater delete. Used stk mid pipe for the bends so all stk hangers are used. It sounds great! Gained some hp too. Total cost $435.

 

Ended up getting pretty much the same as the magnaflow kit for the g35 with custom pipes

Got the same resonator delete done

$430 here!

 

Magnaflow was my next choice. I couldnt see getting hks muffler for $530 ot tanabe either. Magnaflow and megan racing are well worth the money! The megan was highly polished had nice welds too! I love the sound!

 

So if he puts an X-pipe in, he's recommending that you then merge them back together through one muffler? Or is he meaning to use an OEM look muffler that's still 2 inlets. The OEM exhaust merges with a Y-pipe and is one pipe all the way back with 2 tips. If you use an X-pipe, it's dual all the way back.
