Default Which exhaust sounds closest to stock?

Besides the Nismo Exhaust which aftermarket exhaust has decent gains and a nice mellow sound. (NOTHING STUPID LOUD!)

Thanks for input!

If you don't mind the big tips, I'd say Fujitsubo. One of the quietest in the market during normal driving but aggressive sounding at WOT.

Fujitsubo, and the Tanabe Hyper Medallion all keep the trademark VQ35 sound but make it deeper and gets mcuh more aggressive sounding at higher revs. I've recieved nothing but compliments about my Tanabe Hyper.

Considering that you selection criteria is so subjective, I recommend that you attend a 350Z meet. List to what other owners have before you buy.

Fujitsibo for the win.

IMO, Borla changes the sound of the Z and doesn't sound all that similar to stock. It retains a little bit of the sound, but IMO changes it too much to consider it sounding like stock.

Pretty much anyting w/ a Y-pipe and a decent sized muffler will sound like the Z. True dual changes the sound a helluva lot.

How does the Fujitsubo sound compared to the Nismo. I know they are similar in design, so are they similar in sound as well>?

+1

Borla makes it sound more domestic, not a bad sound just not as exotic.

I love my Fuji!

Isn't the Nismo just a rebadged Fujitsibo anyway?

If I'm not mistaken, Fujitsubo made the Nismo exhaust systems but they are different designs. Yes, there is a slight difference in sound. IMO...the Fuji has a bit more mellower sound than the Nismo especially during idle. Hard to explain but I can definitely tell when I listened to both side by side during idle & during launch.
