RorySolow Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Afternoon peeps, I know there is much more to it than piping, but I am getting a custom cat-back system built this weekend and I want my Z to sound like the Jaguar F-Type V6: Any engine acoustic experts out there willing to lend some advice?

Jetpilot Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Decats and a small ish back box (Cobra) will get you as close as your likely to get. Ignore the Cobra bit if your going custom, two small back boxes. Edited January 29, 2016 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Jag put a lot of time, effort and money getting the F-type to sound the way it does . . . your car won't ever sound like it. My advice . . sell the Zed and get a Jag 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice . . sell the Zed and get a Jag This unfortunately. Still though you can get the Zed to sound great imo. I used to love the noise mine made with Berks De-Cats, an Invidia Gemini true dual system and the Vortech supercharger. Brief outside sound of my Zed filmed by another member on here whilst I was on a Castle Combe track day. You can hear the noise it makes over everything else as I accelerate out of the corner & up the straight. Static rev up. Sounded at it's best though at full WOT going through tunnels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamic Turtle Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 That jag changes gear seriously quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cov350z Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 forget decats youll need a port and polish on the head and a set on long headers to sound close they spent more money on how it sounded than they did setting it up to drive properly lived with a bloke who worked on the engine development and they tried about a 100 different exhaust combos ie headers(exhaust manifold) hfc , mid pipes and back box getting it to sound great was easy getting it to pass the euro tests and still sound good thats where the money went 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the closest you'll get to the jag without buying is this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I've seen an exhaust for the 370z nearly accomplish this imo. Dunno if it could be adapted for the 350z or copied. Trying to remember what it's called. I'll google it and come back with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RorySolow Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 ArmyTrix valvetronic exhaust. Wow, looks seriously complicated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Wow, looks seriously complicated!! It's not that complicated at all imo but it is expensive. Cheaper option is a decent exhaust set up and then add a Driftworks QTP valve to it plus a screamer pipe. Another member on here has done it I know but just can't seem to remember who? It's BBK who posted above btw. Link: http://www.driftworks.com/blog/2012/07/electronic-bypass-retard-valves-now-in-stock/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
