djrm Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Hi guys and girls I have a 350z and have noticed that as standard, the engine / exhaust noise is not the greatest sound... I used to have an FTO with an aftermarket exhaust system and it sounded lovely, you could really hear the V6 sound. What's the best way to get that proper V6 sound from the 350z? Pop charger and a stainless system? Anyone have any videos of their cars sounding good? Thanks! Ryan Quote
Neilp Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 The best v6 noise ive heard so far is either buddy club or k1. Both very different prices. I love the sound of my scorpion aswell, theres no drone on the motorway but sings when you give it some, im running nismo y-pipe and unresonated decat pipes. Quote
Beavis Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I still think the Nismo system gives the zed the best sound of all that i have heard over the years. I think the K1 sounds awful imho Quote
CMR Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Nismo with Nismo Y Pipes sounds the best from all i've heard exhaust wise. Don't like the K1 either, spoils the car to be honest, sounds like those dual exhaust systems people put on saxo's! Quote
SparksCW Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I've just fitted a JWT pop charger to my otherwise standard 350 and love the difference, sounds a lot better if you ask me! I'm in the same boat about what to do next though, i do want a bit more noise, i cant stand anything that sounds "chavvy" though, im after super car sound so would be interesting to see what people are reccomending exhaust wise.... whats the benefits of just changing the "y pipe" everyone talks about and de-cats compared to a full system? Quote
Ian Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Every single person will give you a different answer If you want something loud then get a single exit with decats & headers - it will make a K1 sound silent Something a bit more reasonable is HFC with a Blitz Nur Spec. ARC intake makes a much better noise than a pop charger also Quote
P15UL T Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 i loved my full nismo set up and kinetix sports cats, not to loud unless you were giving it some Quote
spursmaddave Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I am with Neil on this one the best noise I have heard from a 350z was from my Buddy Club But if you do anything but short journeys then it was too much of a drone for me anyway Currently a Milltek + HFC's is floating my boat quite nicely At meet ups I have heard plenty of K1's which IMO should come with their own ASBO and Scorpions which are a nice alternative. A Pop Charger gives a nice roar but caused hesitation in my experience, although gave a lovely noise Of course you can fit the HKS like Zugara if you like the sound of an Elephant farting through a Tuba Quote
Cookbot Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I've got a custom stainless setup from exhausts UK (Cobra Sport) but I do like the sound of the blue flame and nismo ones. You tube them both. Quote
Zugara Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Cheers dave, but least its a bull ele phant pharting. Quote
DoogyRev Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I have had a few different exhausts, and the only thing to do is get to a meet and listen to them. Videos do not do them justice IMO. Scorpion = Great bark when giving it the beans HKS (Replica) = Nice rumble sound when pottering, gets much louder. To droney for me Milltek = Sound is getting much better every time I go out. Closest to a Nismo sound.... but half the price Quote
Walbertonio Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Personally love the sound of the K2 - deeper than OEM, and is majestic 4k+. Quote
Matt L Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Personally only heard the K1 and the milltek in real life and the k1 was nice but stupidly loud and drowny for me, and well.... milltek i just love it Quote
Will370z Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Fit a Milltek IMHO +1 but then I'm slightly biased Quote

Pop charger and a stainless system? Anyone have any videos of their cars sounding good? Thanks! Ryan IMHO, I love my nismo system. I still think it could be a bit louder/more aggressive though, which is why I'll be considering either berk hfc's or motordyne xyz with race cats and straight pipes. Sorry to those that have k1, but, imho it just doesn't sound that nice to me and I'm not a fan of the looks either. If you really wanted to be different, I'd love to hear another example of this, would probably be the only one in the uk also: If you wanted plain, obscenely loud and imho doesn't look nice: Here's my nismo though: Quote
djrm Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks for all the responses people! The sound I want is a supercar growl, not stupid chav loud and droney on motorways... Something that almost quiet at 2-3K but roars nicely and gives you the proper V6 sound at 4K+ Sounds like Nismo is a popular choice and I have heard that Pop Chargers give a good sound too... I will have to get to a meet I think and listen to some others to get a better idea... Thanks again! Quote

If you fancy a nice run we are having a meet up in Horsham this Sunday, you can hear a HKS, Milltek with Pop Charger and Milltek with HFC's all in a line Oh and maybe a Nismo to if Risingpower puts his foot down about shopping Quote

The greddy evo is slightly musclier? If you're looking for a "supercar" sound, i'm not sure you'll get it. 3.5 v6 <> supercar imo. Though, I guess the nsx had a v6. This imho = muscle/supercar sound: Oh lordy, I think I just did a sex wee. Quote

I will have to see what my plans are family wise as it's just after NY but I think I'm free... Quote
Toon Chris Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 5zigen pro racer above 3k. +1 I have had mine for a few years now and I still love the sound it makes. Quote
