Exhaust Options (Budget!!)
alright, im a college kid and im trying to ball on a budget...getting a catback exhaust isnt the best option for me right now cause i dont have the funds...i was wondering if anyone has any information on possible axle-back systems that make the car sound louder/better....also, i was looking at the test pipes and was wondering how they would sound with the stock exhaust and if adding an after market y-pipe would also make it sound better?
thanks
thanks

why not get an electric exhaust cutout!!!

I have 2 of them on my car, but I have a dual exhaust.
You could use one after the factory resonator but before the muffler.
I bet it would be pretty cool, and since it is after the cats and resonator, you'd probably avoid the dreaded rasp!!!

go for some good power
if you have the money to spend on an exhaust, then i would suggest you go with the MREV mod. It'll most likely be about the same for an axle back and some test pipes and produce more useable power while keeping your stock exhaust sound. I remember college and just jumping into worthless mods. go MREV then get a cat back later. JMHO.

Mrev
Got some info from a testor of the MREV
http://www.sah2o.com/intakeproject.htm
and the manufacturer Motordyne Engineer

Its a great mod for us with the 05 and up. Real good gains. Still trying to work around my budget to get it with a catback and some other goodies. Definitly a good early mod.

WRX,
If your G is suited for the MREV mod ('05 - '06 6MT's), the MREV will be the best monies, which you will spend for your car. Personally, I think it yields the highest results for the dollar.
Your other option is to get one of Motordyne's ISO Thermal Spacer set-ups, if you have an earlier year G.
The above will enhance the sound levels and afford you more power . . . Especially the MREV Plus mod. Good luck to you on your decision. Have fun!

no I don't have any dynos.
I have them in my car, but it is a different application. If you search for posts strated by "quadcam" you'll find one about my dual exhaust. In there, there is a link to a small video with sound of the exhaust system.
I have my e-cutouts setup to close off one side of the dual exhaust, thereby routing everything through the one of the pipes. Additionally, the pipe that gets everything routed through it still has an e-cutout installed in-line of the exhaust. But, I have a custom drilled butterfly that still allows exhaust flow (although restricted) but at highly attentuated sound levels.
It sounds complicated, but it does what I want.......quiet when I have business clients in the car. Loud and sweet when it's my time!!!
here's apic of one of the cutouts. I have since added more "holes" to it. With the 8 holes, it was too restrictive.
You can download the video here:

Click on "exhaustvideo.3g2"
You have to save it. Also you'll need Quicktime 6.5 or higher to play it.
Sorry about the quality, it is my cell phone. You can here that it si pretty quiet at low revs and idle, but a freak at WOT!! If you listen carefully you can hear the nice hum at idle.
I made this video in my garage, so the garage may have amplified the sound.

A'pexi exhausts are relatively cheap and they are known for good quality. If you search around in my350z.com, you can find some video clips of A'pexi N1. N1 for G35 is selling for $530 shipped. If you want something quieter, then WS2 is $599 shipped. Check this link out: https://g35driver.com/forums/exhaust-vendor/74695-pexi-greddy-dc-sports-exhaust-systems-lowest-prices-online.html
Both are Y-pipe back systems.

I've flow benched 6 kits for these cars - Borla was number two in efficiency and HP gain...Fact is Borla is the quietest of ALL the kits out here, other than stock muffler setups.
I've written about his before as well. The Borla system gave me more power through the band than any other kit, with virtually ZERO done and one of the best fitting bolt-on exhausts you can buy.
I don't disagree wioth the Crawford Cats = they rock.
