A 350Z does not give off that crusty boxy sounding V6 growl reminescent of a GM V6 that an unequal-length WSP Y-pipe does to a VQ exhaust note.

sounds like a racecar because of the testpipe, take that out and it toally refines the sound even more and takes the higherness out, but then again imo wouldnt be as cool as it is now . If you want to hear another awsome setup go HERE: http://www.filegone.com/m4gq
its PhxBlue with Headers, RT cat, Budget B pipe w/Magnaflow resonator, Cattman rear section

lol so anyway, as many contributing factors that there is it all comes down to how the exhaust flows through the headers to meet there main pipe to exit the system, if unequal you will get the droaning rumbly trash note, if equal you will get a syphony of cyl firing with pride i still will say CATTMAN HEADERS OWN ALL

scooobay, did u listen to the ceasar clip aswell? he has the VQ30 and his sounds AWSOME like that too. Not as much of the individual firing type of sound that the VQ35 has, but its as close to a perfect exhaust note that you can ever get on the VQ30 and sounds amazing. If you have the cash i highly highly reccomend the Cattman Header system and catback for the full effect. Not alot of vq30's have it but rest assured your exhaust note would be idiolized by many if you go that route .

the truth is that for one, if you have the money then deff hook yourself up with a set of the headers. Second, sense alot of things contribute to the note of the 3.5 with headers we will be close but never the same as the 3.5 sound. As long as you have the headers though there is no doubt whatever you use for a catback is going to sound very close to that sound, although the cattman catback has that tuned type sound that only they have. You can also remove the cat to get yet another differnt sound. more examples... http://home.comcast.net/~93SER/videos/park3.wmv Headers with testpipe and greddy EVO on blackbirdVQ's 01 and also http://blackbirdvq.whocares.tv/MossyHS2.wmv this is the cattman catback with headers and testpipe.

Blackbird has a VQ30... for a VQ35 with Cattman headers and cat-back, listen to Steven88's:

http://www.nemuijokyo.org/maxrev.mpg

http://www.nemuijokyo.org/videos/car...mabackfire.mpg

IMO, people picking an exhaust set-up purely based on sound is , you should do it based on the performance gains as the deciding factor.

Like I said, that's my opinion. If ya wanna mod your car based on looks and sounds, there's nothing anyone can do. Whatever makes ya happy right?

Me personally? I probably would.

However, it seems to me that you have misunderstood the statement. Notice that I said exhaust tone should not be the MAIN consideration. It is a secondary consideration. Power is the main factor for the decision, and the sound is a bonus, not the other way around. A nice sounding exhaust is definitely nice, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make my set-up sounding nice without making any power.

Why? What difference does it make? My Max is fast enough for me... I just want it to have a different sound. It's no different from getting new wheels or a lip kit; nobody is asking YOU to put these parts on your car.

Anyways, this is what the stock G35/350Z exhaust looks like...



So I think the sound comes from it all being equal length.

My question is: what Y-pipe is this, and where can I buy it???



I was thinking of just getting an equal length Y-pipe custom made; if it were less than $300 I think it would be worth it.

Though I'm sure other factors are important (cams, intake manifold etc.) I think the biggest factor is, by far, the equal length design the whole way back.

That's a Stillen 1st gen, but I think you knew that. They don't sell them anymore, get Cattman headers, or a custom equal length y.
