I have about 15k miles on my '05 z. The exotic exhaust tone when I first bought just isn't there. anymore. I have Plenum spacer and popcharger, and will be putting on some cats, soon - then exhaust. I still like the sound, but not nearly as much as the tone of stock. I like the fact that it's louder, but not 'cleaner' than stock.

 

Until reading this forum, I had no idea there was such a great interest in sound. I can understand horsepower and torque curves, but all this talk about exotic baffles me.

 

i have s-tune nismo intake and exhaust, sounds perdy

 

I love the sound of the stock Z, not to mention the G35.

When you said it doesnt sound the same, that's after mods right?

while stock it always sounded same right?

 

I love the sound of my stock. I was looking into mods, and have stepped back and said wait.,. this stock vehicle kicks a@&! why chance ruining that?

Im sticking stock for now.. love to just listen to that engine purrrrrrrrr.

 

i heard from a few G owners that when they change out their intake pipe to a Z tube they lose the sound b/c there are no resonators on the Z tube

 

stock exhaust is very practical...
Intake, headers, test pipes wil increase the sound of the exhaust but if the OEM muffler is still there then it shoudl still resemble the noise

 

^^ wtf J do you follow me arround?

 

I just installed a Borla exhaust and a JWT PopCharger this past week...and I understand what you're talking about. I liked the stock sound a lot....but I tell ya, having the next exhaust really amplified the sound. It doesn't necessarily sound a lot different now....but it is a lot stronger...and somewhat more gutteral. But I suppose any time you change part of the engine, it's going to change the sound. Guess that's why there are so many exhaust system sound clips out there.

 

i follow people who are active enough so i can keep them posting so i can continue my post rampage...

 

oh really so you follow people arround huh

 

I think you posted on the wrong thread...
if this is relating to the 911 TT

 

yeah where the F was that thread?

 

yeah, anything you change having to do with air intake to exhaust escape is going to change the sound. my Z is def way louder, but in a nice way. not too raspy, not too whimpy. whatever the case I think the weight savings are worth it in itself. those damn stock cats and exhaust tubing are frickin ridiculously heavy.

 

the they either hate me or they love me thread..

...
back on topic
my AEM screams ...
Yeah...
Its pretty loud...

 

Weird my Z still has the roar after 2 years!!!!!

 

28.9 ppd is nothing

 

Cessna has been a steady 50 + point scoerer every day/night
Where is that man?
I want to go up and smoke some la la la

 

has anyone ever noticed that the Zs exhaust note sounds totally different when your outside the vehicle than when your driving with the doors close ?

 

thats most cars
