Why doesn't the Z exhaust note :purrrr: like the G37

wdkwang · 08-25-2011, 07:18 PM

Despite them having the same motor, I've been wondering why the exhaust notes differ quite a bit. While the Z sounds sort of like loud noise, the G37 and FX50's have this deep purrr that I personally think sounds nice

This is what I mean with G's:

^^ sounds pretty similar to a 370 with exhaust?

1. It says in the title "Custom Exhaust" so thats not stock, and even as it is, it sounds just like a 370.

2. Different combinations of resonators/muffler packing material/pipe lengths/bends all contribute to the exhaust note...

Not sure where you're seeing the two sound drastically different, and I dunno if I'd ever say the Z's exhaust is 'noise' maybe in a completely non-resonated setup, but it's not noise then, it's power.

sounds just like 370z, there is extra bass in the sound, you can find similar 370z videos

The Z is just meaner by nature.

Sorry for the poor choice in wording for the Z exhaust note but I can always tell if it's a G37/FX50 driving by it's very noticeable purrrr exhaust note. Sort of like how you can always tell when a WRX/STI is rolling through. With the Z, I don't hear much of, if at all, that nice purrr from the Infiniti's. Maybe my hearing is going.

I dunno, I've always saw the G's (35's and 37's) always sounded more like a 350 than a 370 with the higher pitches. But I have no problem with my FI exhaust + headers. It gives a nice deep rumble. When I get back home this weekend, I'll take the go pro out and do a start up vid for you...

You are right and I have noticed that as well. I think the exhaust on the 370z sounds like the one on the IPL G37.

sounds like a proper true dual, no x or h.

also i'd hate it if that noise came from my car.

azn370z · 08-25-2011, 07:52 PM

The 370z is super quiet. The 350z had a nice rumble maybe like the g37. I don't know why Nissan would make the 370z sound like a Lexus.

This is because,all cars in the world that produced after 2008 have to confine to a new sound limitsin the E.U.,included Ferrari,that why the lastest Ferrari 458,is also very quiet in standard mode.
