Try searching 350z exhausts videos on youtube, to get an idea on some of the exhausts sounds.

Personally my favorite is the motordyne tdx v2.

^ Yummy.

I'm leaning towards a complete MotorDyne makeover for my Z.

Motordyne, so expensive but so worth it.

I'm regretting getting the kinetix V+ plenum now, their spacer makes way more and looks more stealthy.

tdx v2, yes prease.

I've always liked the TopSpeed Pro N1 but it's SUPER LOUD. I would never be able to get away with an exhaust this loud in the city I live in. I don't know how much it cost or how much HP it makes.

Our cars are not real quiet to begin with..
if you crave a deep throaty sound to entertain passerbys with or at the occasional meet, go the extra mile and get headers too.

I have a combination of AEM headers and AEM/DC Sports true dual exhaust on my car and it is loud.
These 2 bolt ons are primaliry responsible IMO why my basic pulley Vorteched Z33 goes much stronger than they usually do.

A friend of mine form another board also had a exhaust/headers combo and it was loud as well ( AND he picked up over 24 whp and 20 wlbft of torque after a reflash on his 2004!)

That exhaust would annoy the piss out of me. It "gargles" every cylinder fire. Definitely wouldn't be able to daily that.

I use an Invidia.. Very very quiet. Unfortunately I only have a cold start video for now in crappy quality :/

There is no need for dual exhaust on a V6. I think the best sounding and looking is Agency power Single Ti Exhaust FTMFW!

Post by **Ace2cool** » Wed May 18, 2011 4:05 am

What do you do with the other exhaust outlet in the bumper? And I'd much rather have a free-er flowing dual exhaust personally. Sure as hell isn't gonna hurt performance, if you know what I mean.

Post by **kuhan** » Wed May 18, 2011 6:00 am

I know single exit probably makes more hp than true dual, but it looks so retarded on the 350Z.
The car was designed for a dual exhaust, why changed the look?
I had Nismo S-Tune with Berk hfcs, and it sounded very nice and still had the VQ sound.
Now I have HKS hi power exhaust with Berk hfcs, it sounds totally different from Nismo S-Tune, but it doesn't retain the VQ sound anymore. But I love it.

Before going with HKS hi power, I was debating whether to go with Motordyne Shockwave or HKS. Since Motordyne was backordered for 3 weeks, I went with HKS. I also love the sound of Shockwave. Maybe one day I will get one.

Post by **Tanman2010** » Wed May 18, 2011 3:04 pm

its called "bumper tuck",, and it takes 5 min to do you get more hp out of a single exit exhaust then you do a true dual. I also had the nismo S tuned exhaust on my nismo s-tuned z, i liked it but reall when it comes down to it, its more of a personal prefrance then anything. iam going with the RB26 in the z, seeing as now i have a very well paying job. im not a big fan of the VQ seeing thats its weak for FI

Post by **Ace2cool** » Thu May 19, 2011 12:05 pm

I still think a single out makes the rear of the car look unbalanced. And you do realize that it's a completely different VQ in the F1 cars, right? This is made to last longer that 48 hours on a single engine. Jus' saying.

Post by **Tanman2010** » Fri May 20, 2011 1:14 am

f1/ who said anything about f1? i said FI as in forced induction. the VQ35de is weak in this department sir

Post by **Ace2cool** » Fri May 20, 2011 3:54 am

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I'm not gonna argue that the VQ isn't the best for any kind of long term forced induction. I retract the second half of that statement. The first half still stands though.

I love my 350Z, and like the roaring sound that it makes each time I accelerate. In my opinion, the deep sound from the exhaust system is a kind of motivating factor for any racer to drive the car fast and furious.

Bar none best sounding cat back for a z is the ark grip true dual. I've heard the hks in real life and it sounded too tingy for my taste... As for the ark it is loud enough to show people what's up but quite enough not to draw the wrong kind of attention to yourself if you know what I mean. It retains a mean growl almost v8ish and is just loud enough not to be annoying on long trips. Check out some of the YouTube videos the sound is what eventually won me over.

Forgot about this thread, I just got the tdx v2 put in a few days ago. Sounds awesome and its not as obnoxious as the x02.

Post by **StancedZ33** » Fri May 03, 2013 10:38 am

Honestly in my opinion you can't beat just getting your muffler cut off and running straight pipes from the cats back, it only cost me a couple hundred to get it done and it's not loud like you'd think all the time, it sounds amazing from about 3k and up, but when you're just cruising down the highway or interstate at 60-70 as long as you aren't getting on it you will barely hear it. some other towns close by have noise ordinances and cops just ache to pull over any car they see with a big a** fart can on the back, or anything louder than a hybrid these days, but you can still get that stock look and have the full beautiful sound that the VQ35 produces. Also it's cheaper and a lot less hassle than getting a new full exhaust system or even catback systems and bolting them up.

Straight pipe from the cats back is a great exhaust note...

Best exhaust system?

Back in time fail. I replaced the resonated megan test pipes with Berk unresonated test pipes, its back to being only regularly obnoxious now.

Post by **ManDogFish** » Tue Jun 11, 2013 2:41 pm

Ive only seen about 5-6 350z's with aftermarket exhausts...

and, well....my single 3" exhaust with vibrant resonator "sounded" much better to me

The other single exhausts without the resonator even sounded better than the duals

If you are considering purchasing a single exhaust from anywhere then PM me and ill post up a video of my exhaust note...

FYI: duals look better...single exhausts make other tuners think you are supercharged or turbocharged

the vq has currently the highest output and fastest drag time out of all import 6's....................

for the cost of just the rb26 and building a swap kit, if you do the work yourself, you could have built the vq. the vq heads stock flow more then race ported rb26 heads, the vq has more displacement allowing bigger turbos and a more usable power band............ rb26's become rather useless for any street driving with a 67mm turbo which the vq is right at home with, the vq has faster burning cylinder heads allowing more power on pump gas, they are lighter, they have a better cooling system design, they can make power revving which is important since the rb and vq both have weak oil pump designs requiring expensive replacements for high revs, luckily you can just get a revup pump in the vq which is OEM and be good to 7500 rpm and make enough power that 99% of people are happy, the vq has better coils stock able to easily handle 1200 whp with just adjusting dwell, the ONLY down side the vq has is weak rods.

before you decide something like that might wanna check with people who have owned the engine, will find alot of issues of crank walk, spun bearings, cracked ring lands, destroyed turbos, cracked blocks when you really turn it up requiring hard to find n1 blocks. just because a engine dosnt see alot of publicity in the states dosnt mean its a good engine because you see one or two that handled power stock, you see vq failures because there are more of them here and people are looking to cheap out and go to the cheapest shop. you get what you pay for

the good shops i can name right now are dynosty, vinny ten racing, and sound performance, until i get my shop up and going anyway, you need a shop that has proven themselves across multiple platforms.

as for those mentioning the HR, it gets slightly stronger rods that can handle a measly 50 whp more on average then a de, and slightly bigger cams. it also has a much more inferior selection of parts and to date i know of a single one thats made more then 800 whp. vs the DE has a crap ton, mine,the g35 im currently building, sound performance has had multiple, dynosty has had multiple, VTR has has multiple including one running 1600 whp, scott porter runs 2200 whp after he turned it down(he used to make more) granted scott runs a billet block........... on oem casting de heads which should say something since he could have easily done the HR architecture with its taller block.
