Can I get my Maxima to sound like a stock G35/350Z?

I don't know if this has been asked before, but if its possible. What is the Intake/Exhaust setup to make it sound like that!? I LOVE THE WAY the G35 Sounds!

Full cattman exhaust in generally agreed to be the "closest". It still is not even close to the true sound though. Good luck ponying out the cash.

You could always just go out and buy a G35.

He didn't say a new G35, he said a stock one. Used G35 sedans can be picked up for less than 20k all day.

I think the G35 sounds like a toy. Too raspy for me. I put on the Cattman catback with CE y-pipe and my buddy (WRX owner) says it sounds about as mean as the STI we test drove with 3 inch exhausts.

Drill a couple holes in your exhaust piping and you'll sound pretty damn close to a G35...

Negatory. A maxima will never sound like a G35/350Z with a y-pipe installed. Get equal length headers like Cattman/Hotshot first, then we're talking.

I did that to my VTEC'd motor and now it sounds just like that 350z in FAF3. The extra 3 gears helps too, it puts my RPM's low so that I get the rumbly sound of the 350z, it's awesome! You should try it!

I only counted 6 gears. Sounds like a load of crap to me. plus why waste the money on a Honda. Your cash your choice.

As for the topic at hand i say buy a stock G35, you get the sound, the power and the look cant beat that
