hype Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 So I've only managed a month of zed ownership on the stock system. I popped in to see Mick at Cougar Store yesterday and had the full Cobra system fitted - what a difference it makes, worth every penny. Sounds absolutely brilliant on start-up and on when hammering it, but cruising along at 80-90 in 6th you wouldn't really know you weren't on an OEM system - there's no drone at all. And my god it brings the synchrorev to life, slipping it down into second is now a joy, I'll never tire of the noise. Huge thanks to Mick @ Cougar who made the whole process a piece of cake - and thanks to forum member naz2k5 for helping me make the decision Here's some pics (first couple borrowed from Cougar Store). I'll try to sort some audio clips too... 3 Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 looks great, I like the slash cut tails waits for vids Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 James, good to meet you yesterday, real pleased that you're enjoying the new exhaust, it sounds and looks excellent, we'll have to sort some sound clips out too... Quote

370Ad Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Looks lovely and sits really well on the rear bumper! Quote
Shane Brede Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Found with mine in first if you blip it you get a nice sounding blow back like I used to on my Ducati's race pipes and at low revs in a high gear if you floor it you get a great deep roar Mitz did good again recommending to to me good old cougar store 1 Quote
370Ad Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 You have tempted me its going to be on order Half System is currently 15% off on CS's group buy! Makes it a bargain at £535.50 delivered http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/84413-group-buy-at-cougar-store/page__st__20#entry1264181 Quote
alroma Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 ^^ Me too Would like to hear, or get people's opinions on, how loud this exhaust is compared to the usual CBE suspects. Quote
sipar69 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Found this but it's not a very good quality video sound wise. I suspect the system sounds a lot better 'in the flesh'. From my own experiences of other exhausts it doesn't sound like an overly loud system (which is a good thing). 1 Quote
hype Posted April 25, 2014 Author Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) I've got before and after start-up clips on my phone - I'll try to join them together and post them today. Not going to be the best quality unfortunately but watch this space... I honestly can't rate the sound highly enough. It's loud, but not too loud - certainly enough to turn heads when starting up at the petrol station - but not so much that everyone's turning their heads to see who's coming from a mile off. And like I said, when you're just cruising along at 80 or 90 on the motorway there's no drone at all, just a deeper warble than stock. Edited April 25, 2014 by hype 1 Quote
370Ad Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Are yours the 4.5" or 5" slash cut tips mate? Edited April 25, 2014 by 370Ad Quote
hype Posted April 25, 2014 Author Posted April 25, 2014 They're 5" slash cut. Go big or go home Here's the sound clip as promised - you'll need headphones and the volume turned up... 3 Quote
370Ad Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 They're 5" slash cut. Go big or go home Here's the sound clip as promised - you'll need headphones and the volume turned up... Cheers! Sounds epic Quote
alroma Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Found this but it's not a very good quality video sound wise. I suspect the system sounds a lot better 'in the flesh'. From my own experiences of other exhausts it doesn't sound like an overly loud system (which is a good thing). Can I detect a bit of a "hiss" on that video? Any chance that car also has their HFCs fitted? Sounds pretty good to me in any case. Couldn't agree more on the volume; I just want something that sounds a bit more like a sports car. At the moment I have all the alluring sound of a Ford Transit without the added benefit of practicality.... Edited April 25, 2014 by alroma Quote
alroma Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 They're 5" slash cut. Go big or go home Here's the sound clip as promised - you'll need headphones and the volume turned up... Sounds awesome through my speakers at any rate - lovely deep growl! I prefer the roll-tips, which only seem to come in 5" diameter. I did wonder if they'd look a bit too big, but I have to say your car wears them well! Also like the fact they don't stick out too much from the bumper, unlike some others I've seen. Quote
hype Posted April 25, 2014 Author Posted April 25, 2014 They are huge - but if you can't have massive pipes on the back of a fast Nissan then when can you! And yes, I was very keen on them not sticking out too far and so am very happy - a bit of a pet hate of mine. 1 Quote
sipar69 Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Sounds good. Glad you're happy with with it - easily the most crucial and worthwhile mod you can do on a 370 Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Prices are here with currently 15% during the GB - http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2_16 Quote
nissanman312 Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Cool what's GB? Pardon my ignorance Do they do a smaller tip or that it Quote
