350z sounds (mufflers/exhaust) from a 300zxtt?

[Delox]

Hey everyone, I would just like to know if anyone has achieved the engine sound of a 350z out of a 300zxTT, I love the sound of the 350z's and I've had trouble picking an exhaust, since I dont want the sound of "rice"...

I'd like the exact sound of a stock 350z, or that, but louder, anyone have any suggestions?

I want the same sound i know exactly what your talking about but i havent gotten a chance to do the research....if you ever find out please inform

IMO Z32's have a very distinct exhaust sound. The VG makes a nice deep tone with a quality catback.

The VQ from the Z33 makes a much different sound and I've never heard a Z32 sound like a Z33 or vice versa.

i love the sound i get from my labree exhaust from specialy Z

[nsrZ32]

And I must say...the HKS Hiper on my Z sounds amazingly sexy. Deep, clean, classy, and mean.

I love the sounds of the HKS, i just hate the angled look of the mufflers, and the single outlets on each side... i just dont like it, i know its personal taste, but i'd rather have the dual tip twins straight out

also 3 inch pipes are just too loud for me, I don't want the exhaust to be what makes people stare, i want the look to be what catches them

[nsrZ32]

How about B&B or Stillen? They both make a dual tip (or atleast used to) that fits the bill of what you want with the dual straigh tips and 2.5" piping

I was looking at specialty-Z website, I think i want their sebring systems, has xpipe, resonators, and 2 dual top chrome 2.5 inch mufflers...

anyone know how sebring sounds?

[nsrZ32]

I don't have a sound file of it, but I heard a car at Z car nationals with it. Wasn't bad at all.

[Delox]

Is it like "ricey" at all, my stock system fell apart, I pretty much just want a new system and a little sond change.... this is really frustrating

[greensparcs]

that is the labree/sebring same thing and thats what i have and its very very nice not loud, but deep toned and sexy i have mine with the H pipe and resonators and its still an aggressive yet refined sound. sounds beautiful if you want yours a bit deeper and louder go with the x pipe with or with out the resonators. IMHO

[nsrZ32]

Its deep indeed. X-pipe without resonators is the way to go. And as for "ricey" sounding, I've never heard a Z32 sound ricey with any quality catback system.

If you want the sound of a 350z then go buy one or swap in a VQ. Every engine has it's own sound.

[Delox]

what will the diff between H and X be, and why no resinators? i dont want it annoyingly loud, I want to be able to pull in at night and not have my neighboors get pissed

EDIT: my diff, i mean soundwise, not shapes

I dont really like that low hollow sound of"vwoom vwooom" noise, if you can understand what i mean. I like the noise, just not that low. I think ill go with sebring

[evildky]

if you want a car that sounds like a ferarri buy a ferarri, if you want a car that sounds like a VW with an exhaust leak buy a civic with a grapefruit shooter

the Z32 though a quality aftermarket exhaust will not sound like a Z33 but beautiful in it's own right, I personally love the rasp of a high well tuned L6, makes the naughty bits tingle :p

[greensparcs]

the x pipe has a less restrictive flow than the h pipe and the resonators take out some of the bark kind of like a pre muffler i guess (feel free to correct me if im wrong guys) but i can tell you this with the sebring you wont piss your neiboors off at low rpms pullin into your drive way but you also wont be disappointed when you get up into your rpms. also i experience no drone with mine at all. just deep tone. at idle it bass like and more felt than heard. i dunno how to explain it. anyway yes its expensive but i dont regret my decision that i bought it. plus delievery was pretty quick the day i bought it he sent it out.

[Delox]

Do you (or can you please make) have a sounds file/vid file with the sebrings? i just want to make sure it sounds like what im looking for.

Thanks

I run custom stainless with APEXi Dunks, no cats, no resonators, just an X-pipe. X-Pipe also helps to blend the tones of the VG's uneven firing order. On my TT motor it's very deep and not very loud at idle..it's hellraising at WOT though, but that's the idea.

[Delox]

yeah, i really liket he apexi loudspeaker mufflers, i bet i'd like all of theres, they havea very powerful noise. What is WOT?
