Donk Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 I'm unsure whether to **** the neighbors off even more and make her a bit louder. Any recommendations? Also, anyone know how to turn off the fake engine sounds that are pumped in? Thanks, Donk Quote
mattross1313 Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 Cat back is 100% worth it. Totally transforms the car. Fake engine noises - from my last google on it, it's possible to turn them off but must be done by a dealer/someone with access to the Nissan SW.i think it's called command or something. Using this SW you/they can go in and turn it off. I haven't got around to taking the car to Nissan and asking about it yet. Quote
MevZee Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 I have a cobra cat-back sounds amazing! not to loud and doesn’t drone but sounds awesome when you put your foot down! you should check them out! Quote
jollyranchers Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 invida gemini one of the quieter systems Quote
sipar69 Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Even the louder systems quiten down after start up and most don't tend to wake up until you go past 3k revs. Plenty to choose from. Ark grip seems a popular choice these days. Quote
Donk Posted September 28, 2018 Author Posted September 28, 2018 I'm liking the suggestions, possibly the cobra the most, however they don't seem to offer a nismo replacement model... Does anyone know of they're compatible with the nismo exhaust? I'm after something loud, with bass and some rasp as I'm a fan of that raspy E46 M3 sound. I like it loud and visceral. When idling or just cruising I would like no drone. Thanks, Donk Quote
Wheels 370z Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 Hi Donk, I've been speaking to Tarmac Sportz as I've recently chopped in my GT for a new Nismo. I've taken the Cobra Cat back off the GT... planning to maybe drop it onto the Nismo - Tarmac explained I'd need the y-pipe section as the standard cat-back would not fit he Nismo Dual flow. I've now decided to sell the Cobra (for sale on the forum in the 370z parts section) and do for the short tails instead. They're being fitted on Tuesday. Quote
Donk Posted September 30, 2018 Author Posted September 30, 2018 Hi wheelz 370, I'm thinking aam resonated short tails too... Only thing I'm concerned about is the effect on performance. If you know anything more on the potentially negative performance side effects let me know. I'm now going to cry into my pillow as the neighbors kids just kicked their football at my freshly polished nismo..... Quote
Wheels 370z Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 I don't think it'll negatively impact the performance however I'm no expert and will happily bow to those with more experience... Payco could be a good reference point??? Quote
Wheels 370z Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 Donk....had the Tarmac Sportz short tails fitted today. Absolutely no apparent impact on performance. Having had the Cobra Cat Back fitted on the GT I can compare exactly. The short tails are a deeper tone, lovely and grumbly and I would deffo rate it better than the Cobra. Little louder than the Cobra but deeper sound so doesn't sound so harsh. I went for the Tarmac Sportz version short tails rather than the AAM.... I would recommend 100% and Bob and the team were great up at Tarmac Sportz. Thanks gents. Top job! Quote
Donk Posted October 1, 2018 Author Posted October 1, 2018 I'd need to see more clips of the tarmac sportz short tails to decide whether the sound is for me. Quote
Wheels 370z Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 I'll post some vid clips tomorrow. Happy to meet up around Gloucester if u want to have a spin. Quote
Donk Posted October 2, 2018 Author Posted October 2, 2018 Where abouts in Gloucester? I'm familiar with clearwell/newlands/ forest of Dean Quote

That’s not true as I have a Cobra cat back system and Japspeed test pipes fitted to my Supercharged Nismo. Quote
Wheels 370z Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Doesn't the Nismo dual flow pipe work need to drop down to a single pipe to pick up the catback hence the need for the y section?? Quote
Wheels 370z Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Doesn't the Nismo dual flow pipe work need to drop down to a single pipe to pick up the catback hence the need for the y section?? Or do the presence of the test pipes take away the need for the y section??? Quote
Mikevv Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 @Adrian@TORQEN will be able to help should you need it Quote
Mikevv Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 Oh god they put a full size plate on the back again! Bastards. Are the carbon mirrors still there? Quote
Donk Posted October 3, 2018 Author Posted October 3, 2018 Carbon mirrors are still there, not sure about them though.. haha Quote
