Hello,
 

I just purchased my first 2005 G35 coupe fully stock. I would like to enhance the sound to my exhaust im just not sure exactly what exhaust or cat back to buy.

also would leaving my exhaust stock with just a resonator delete make it sound better?

check out youtube, they have a few videos of what it sounds like w/o resonator. i personally don't like the way it sounds, but you might. everybody is a little different when it comes to exhaust. good luck man

!!
 

Muffler deletes on our cars are the most ghetto, terrible sounding, raspy crap mod you can do to the car. You'll drone like a mofo and hate yourself for f'in up a perfectly good exhaust. If you start to mention you also want to cut your springs for a small drop I might have to ban you.

I keed of course but the G is a classy car even if it's getting long in the tooth, keep it that way please. She deserves it.

This is why i joined this forum Blue Dream. To gather as much info as i can. Im new to infiniti but not the car game.. idk how a thread on exhuast go to talking about cut springs. Its either Coils, Airbags, or simply stay stock. I appreciate your words

I would much rather hear a VQ with a muffler delete compared to an eBay exhaust (specifically the HKS reps). Your car do what you want. Best bet is to buy a used name-brand exhaust.

Welcome to the G35 Driver Forums!
 

Those of us that have been around since the beginning of the G35 Infiniti run would probably tell you to leave it alone, they were perfect from the factory! However, if you want to enhance the sound of that cool exhaust sound switch to a high flow Magnaflow replacement muffler!
Good Luck enjoy the ride...Gary

do the hks rep suck?

Best bet would be to talk to a performance muffler/custom exhaust shop. Something like 3" mandrel bent pipe, a Vibrant Ultra-Quiet resonator and a Magnaflow or Dynomax muffler. Go for a straight through design for more sound, turbo style for a bit less sound but still more than stock. Wish I'd done that instead of paying for a Tanabe Medalion exhaust and then having to hack it up for the resonator and muffler to get rid of the awful 2500 rpm drone.
