Help a n00b: Which g35 Exhaust components are compatible w/ VQ30DE-K?

As the title states, which G35 exhaust components are compatible with the 5th gen?

I need to change out a few components as is, might as well make it better!

Since an exhaust system is just a collection of bent pipes some flex pipes and a cat the reality is that the only thing you could use is the muffler from a G35 Sedan. Just keep in mind that you WILL NOT!! get the same sound from a max even if it was a 3.5 that you would get out of a G35.

Thanks for the reply. I'm actually just looking to get some replacements on the cheap.
So muffler only, it is!

What muffler would you recommend to get a similar sound as G35 coupe on a 5 gen?

Thank you.

None... no matter what you are not going to get the same g35/350z sound.


In terms of a good sounding exhaust there's plenty written on them already.

Cattman is nice. I've got the Megan now and it sounds good although, the drone is kind of meh... The evo II I had before this sounded really nice and the drone on that was low, didn't even really notice it.

none really. just the muff.

either buy a prefabbed setup or goto a shop and have them bend you one up. a full bent exhaust with muff shouldn't be more then a few hundred.

all their components are compatible if you have the money to fab them.
What parts you need to switch out anyways?

Well, at 110k, it appears as though the whole damn thing needs to be changed out. There is a gaping hole in the y-pipe braided section, and the resonator appears to have been mistaken for a horror movie prop and has a massive gashing running across the underbelly.

He is. It's just that prototype is one of a kind, especially when we modded it up at AAM.
