Just bought a 370z.....SO LOUD

Bone stock these cars are, if anything, way too quiet IMO.

I have a feeling yours has either test pipes (especially if a used Z from FL) or high flow cats and that's why it's so noisy. Does it sound especially raspy around 2500 RPM?

The car is stock and I plan it keep it that way so the warranty is not voided.
The only modification I'd like to do is adding a oil cooler for precautionary measures.

I woke up this morning and all I can think about is driving somewhere.

Also does anyone know if the hankook v12 tires are pretty good to run on this car? The guy before me said the car is on it's 3rd pair of rear tires!!!

That's a good mod if you plan on keeping it stock.

I know, it's crazy how every morning you just can't wait to take her out!

The Hankook V12's are very good on this car, especially just on the streets, but they arn't the best for tracks though.

The Z aint no BMW in terms of refinement and noise. Its a more purpose built sports car than even the 350 Z was.

If not voiding the warranty is your rationale behind not modding the car but you're gonna do an oil cooler, you might as well do a cat-back, too, and really enjoy the way your car sounds!
