Maybe it has something to do with the 3.7L? It does sound different in person from any clip I've heard, that VQ hum is too deep to pick up on a video clip unless you're using a high end mic. I run this exhaust on my 370Z, i can tell you IT DOES have a very noticeable VQ hum when going through the gears ESPECIALLY in a tunnel or passing other cars. I do have the Ypipe and intake if that matters but IT DOES has at the very least a very similar note! :p

^^ maybe.. not sure. but then again i dont need to replicate a G35C tone since i have the real thing. :D

my Z runs the fujimura. sounds great.

yah, +1 on blip throttle in tunnels and underpasses! :rock:

That G35 tone is the VQ tone, which I also have the real thing lol :p my exhaust is also brand new like 60miles on it so maybe it changes after break in. Hopefully not! I love this tone. JDM exhausts for the win!

cool then u and i knowz wat a real factory G35C sounds like :tup: it is the only factory exhaust note i like from japan besides the LFA

Thanks for all the great advice and links guys. It sounds like I will have to go with either a 12" or 18" resonator but I'm now leaning towards the 12" resonators to still get a nice louder deep tone note. I won't mind a little bit of drone. It is not really my daily driver but do drive it more often in the Spring and Summer. :icon17:

Many here are happy and satisfied FI customers. You cannot go wrong with them. If you want to go against the grain, Motordyne ART pipes.

Have to go with FI its a good first step. Then check the for sale thread for a used Berk HFC or FI HFC. You'll be very happy with the sound

Another thing to consider with drone is if you have an AT vs MT. AT will drone more because it'll always want to reach the highest gear and lug the engine (in D mode). MT you can just shift around the drone spot.

I will suggest going WITHOUT resonators for one simple and economical reason.

To begin with, you have to pay extra to get the resonated version. Now, let's say down the line you think the exhaust in not loud enough and you wanna go Non-Resonated... well then you will have to pay again to swap the X-Pipe.

But, if you go Non-Resonated from the get go, you pay less and if down the line you think its too loud, then you can change the X-Pipe to a 12" or an 18" and just pay the difference one time only

Makes more sense financially going this route, plus I'm sure a lot of people can vouch that going non-resonated its not too bad.

You look at the Z with FI on the back with Carbon Fiber mufflers and its just :leghump::vuvuzela:

kenchan 11-13-2015 11:53 AM

Cant really see the carbon fiber just cause the sun was behind the house and under the car is dark. Freshly polished tips though along with the rest of the Z
