Seriously, the exhaust sound that gives you feedback and satisfaction of a drepressed gas pedal is starting to get to me. Sure I can live with it. Actually, sometimes I love it. But for everyday driving, I'd rather have a muted exhaust sound.

Is there an easy way to quiet the purr I get from my 03.5 sedan?

much thanks.

 

I drove a loaner g35 sedan when I serviced my coupe. I did not noticed that there is the purr sound on the sedan. I thought it was pretty quiet. a nice deep sound when WOT though.

 

Man, the stock exhaust on the sedan is so quiet. If you really must quiet it down, you can probably go to a muffler shop and add some resonators.

 

Use Dynamat Extreme all in your trunk and under the back seat.

 

Sounds like you need to trade the G in for a Toyota camry.

 

*Ooooffff* That was harsh.

I did just hear a Chevy salesman complaining about how his new 'Vette wasn't all that he fantasized it would be. "You know, it rides rough, it's cramped inside and stuff like that." I had to hold back from telling him he didn't need a Corvette in the first place, he needed a Pontiac GTO. LOL

But seriously, Corinth, you might look into adding some sound supression material like I suggested. Go for full coverage in the areas that you want to hit. It helps.

 

I honestly must say that the muffler note is one of the many reasons I purchased my G

 

Would you say that to a 545 owner? Get off my thread unless you want to contribute.

 

The G does have many great attributes. And like I said, sometimes I enjoy the sounds I get from stepping on the pedal but I'd rather live without it.

 

Nice anecdote... but I know what I bought in the G. I just just prefer something to be different than what it came with. Don't people buy G's and spend $10K in perfomance mods, etc? Those, in theory should've then bought an X. I'm not directing this towards you specifically since you did caveat it with your suggestion, but rather, everyone that wants to take the low road and flame should take a look in the mirror. I'm here looking for answers.

I'm not sure if I'm willing to Dynamat my car. I was hoping that I could adjust the exhaust system without spending an arm and a leg.

 

I guess everyone has their own points of reference. I'm clueless about this... could you explain what a resonator is, the cost, will it affect performance, mileage, etc?

Thanks.

 

a resonator basically lowers the sound of your exhaust and at the same time, restricts your exhaust flow a little(i could be wrong). I'm sure that it won't cost too much to get it done but speaking to a muffler shop would be the best way to find out.

 

I appreciate that you could see that I wasn't taking a slam at you, Corinth.

A box of Dynamat Extreme is likely going to cost less than having exhasut work done, but then again, the Dynamat will only reduce the sound inside the cabin. Depends what you're looking for.

 

Did a quick Google search for you.

You should be able to go to a muffler shop and have them weld one of these into your stock exhaust piping.

 

Interesting. I have yet to visit a muffler shop and see if they have any answers. Hopefully, I'll have time soon. Thanks for the link (there is hope)... unfortunately nothing for the G, but I'm sure there is something out there.
