Ill do this test if someone would like to buy me some dynomat.
on the real tho, even with an exhaust this car is just loud. my brothers 350z with test pipes and exhaust is much more quite inside.. when I take him in my car he always says how loud it is.. I am completely used to it but he isn't.. If I cruise at 50-75 mph even with the 4.08s its relatively silent still, but while accelerating and going speeds over 80, it gets a bit louder than I would like. But I am doing nothing to help it with test pipes, gears, and an exhaust system. A buddy of mine has a 370z with a greddy exhaust, canister style with tit. tips and his car is OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD with test pipes. He comes in my car and tells me how quite it is.. It is what it is, i don't mind it at all... BUT some do, and all OP did was list how to test it... I thought he was going to have results to follow though. I like his concept he needs to try it out and post his results.. So get to it Mr. OP and report back.

Guys, there's no need to personally attack OP for this thread or question. Everyone has their own opinion. Please be respectful to your forum colleague.
As for noise, I don't have any complain because I like my car noisy/raw. I have an HKS exhaust and love it to death. It's a sports car so I don't mind it. If I wanted quieter, I would've been driving a g37. If anyone ever been in lambo or ferrari, you know how noisy they can be. There are plenty of quiet sport coupes that out there (335i, 135i, TTS etc) but 370Z is a little on the noisy side compare to those.

FWIW I used some Second Skin Damplifier and Luxury Liner on the hatch after I installed my FI exhaust. It cut down on a little bit of noise (and by little bit I mean little-to-none... like a "trace" of snow accumulation), but since the car is a hatch you really need to do the entire thing if you want to make a noticable impact on road noise. This means pulling the seats, carpeting, door panels, etc. and covering everything. Not just with a Dynamat-type product but with an actual sound absorpotion product like Luxury Liner.
The problem is you could easily go through 200 lbs of deadening to do the entire car.

I think road noise is a legit concern for some. I have noticed it on some test drives and not on other later test drives, which makes me think Nissan may have silently improved it.

I drove 1000 miles out to St. Louis in my Z and didn't have an issue with noise. I agree a lot of it is tires. My Hankook Ventus V12s were TREMENDOUSLY quieter than the OEM Potenzas.

I found the OP's wording to be objectionable. I'm not a big fan of the theory that the car is noisy, but folks are entitled to the opinion. It's when one suggests that it is a consensus that the car is noisy that one is incorrect. It's an opinion shared by some, but apparently not by most.
But I also agree that OP was trying to be helpful in getting a feel for which sound deadening product does the job better. I think that would be helpful for those in the market. |

After reading some of the immediate responses I had to re-read the OP, I thought you must have said something about their Mommas'.
i think it is cute that people are trying to defend the 370s honor by making it well known that not "all" owners think it is noisy. what if someone reads this post and thinks that 370s are noisy!?! I dont want non owners to think its noisy...Give me a break And in response to the noise, I installed dynomat x-treme in the rear section and over the rear wheels but i dont think it made any real difference. I dont really notice any noise though because when I drive I always have the tunes blowin. Last edited by Falcor; 01-21-2011 at 11:26 AM. |
