This is a pretty silly question but i'll ask anyway. I know that that the G35 and the 1995-pressent maximas have VQ engines. Does anyone know of a muffler or something that can give a similar sound?

 

Yup mine does... big time.

 

but then again theres also that little issue of the g35 vq having another half liter of displacement, and that minute little 100 extra hp.

 

hp has nothign to do with it.....its all in displacement ans cam timing and all sorts of factors.....but the dual that ant has is the closest

 

you will never have the exact sound because of the difference in displacement, cars are not musical instruments. but i have heard that the dual exhaust will give the car a similar sound to the g35 and 350z.

 

i dont want the exact sound. But close to it. I love that sound.

 

what type of exhaust you have ant?

 

2.5" catback with resonator and Flowmaster 80 series muffler.

 

clip possibly???

 

Come to the meet in CT this weekend.. if anyone takes videos and can host them I'll post it up

 

Its the dual. Ive seen an Audi and Tiburon sound just like it.

 

I have the a Flowmaster 40 series; not dual though. It's a little louder than the g35 but still nice and smooth sounding.

 

ant did you have to cut the spot for your other tip? how easy? what did you use? does yours sound like the CE dual catback?

 

Flowmasters sound great on our cars.. dont know why...

I *might* a big might.. change my muffler to a Hooker Aerochamber... nicer muffler than a flowmaster.

 

Its exactly the same as the custom enterprise I wanna rape you dual exhaust...

You have to cut the other side of the bumper, I just used an electric saw

 

so they used an 80 series muffler? could you use that muffler to achieve the same sound with out doing a dual setup, or is the muffler a dual setup muffler?

 

sure buddy, take a pic from under the car and show us that cut muffler of urs u got hooked up down there.

 

dont start doggy... its a real set up
Most of the time people see the exhaust on the left side hanging before they see the tip and think its a sway bar...

Irishman- thats exactly what CE sells you.. a $80 Flowmaster 80 series muffler with piping you can get done for $200. Granted theirs is mandrel bent but its not that serious. I dont know if the 80 series comes without dual outlets but if it doesnt, get the 40 series. Check out summit or jegs. If you specifically want the dual exhaust set up you need a muffler from an IROC camaro.. which came out from about (I'm not exact on the dates) 84 to 92 or so.

 

**** that. You don't want your car to sound like a G35. You want the whistle tips.

 

Big pimpin style yo

 

i know its a real setup but since u insist so many times that ur a ricer, i thought maybe that was the reason

j/k

 

I know, just messing with you...

I wish I had pics of my gunmetal sawblades now I truly am a ricer...

 

not sure if it's on the maxmods page cuz i just briefly scanned through it, but does flowmaster have a webpage?

 

Google is your friend.

Can I use that muffler even though it is not center inlet? I am going with a custom Bpipe so they should be able to make it work right?

 

Thats exactly the muffler you need. The side that has a pipe by itself is NOT THE INLET. thats one of the outlets

The inlet is the one directly on the other side of that outlet.

So I can run it like this?

 

Hold on a sec, I'm gonna steal his pic.. He wont mind, he asked me for help originally.. and I'm gonna label it... its goign to look exactly like his.

 

Ghetto fabolous



The EXACT same setup as my 4th gen. Theres no difference.

 

By the way for people asking for sound clips... I'll have them next week.. were having a big meet up in CT this weekend. A buddy of mine is lending me his cam and dash mount for the trip.. I'll have outside and inside vids.

 

Ant

do u get that sound with or without a ypipe?

 

Does that setup actually help with power, or is it just for looks and sound? It just seems kinda of an odd pipe run.

 

Yes thats with a Y pipe and its just for looks and sound... technically wouldnt having more weight and more pipe make your car slower?

 

depends if no power goes thru the pipes i guess ...

 

It gets an even flow through both pipes

When you start it up in the morning you can see both pipes smoking... me I just did it cuz it looks good and sounds even better. I didnt see any power advantage...

 

i know everyone said on the first page the .5 more displacement has a big role in this but then what about the 300ZX NA? my buddy has one and hes got a custom catback made and to my suprise it sounds absolutly nothing like our engine. It makes that sound of the r32 type deep and that G35ish fluctuating exhaust note. It sounds awsome, i wish my max could sound like that also my friend has duel's so im thinking it must be the dual however that would play a role in the sound?

 

Did you figure out if the 350Z muffler will fit in the same way?

 

Its like an alarm clock

 

Totally different engine. That's what about it.

 

well i meant if u had a aftermarket y or the stock y
