Between the G35 coupe and 350Z...which exhaust note is louder stock? Maybe it's just me, but the G's sound louder

 

Its louder and I think deeper too, I don't know why. I can always hear the differences between the two.

 

Yep its louder than the z stock . I was next to one leaving a movie theater awhile back and we both turned our vehicles around the same time and he drowned me out.

 

hmm, I always thought they both sounded very much the same.

 

Stock vs stock, I think the G Coupe is louder/deeper than the 350Z. I have a 350Z and my sister has a G35C, and her's was louder when I had the stock exhaust. It may have something to do with the G having a longer mid-pipe?

 

The G Coupe is noticeably loader and deeper.

Did Nissan do this on purpose?

Who knows, but it probably has something to do with its lenght.

.

 

I think the length would have something to do with it, but it doesnt make any sense....shouldnt a sports car be louder than a luxury coupe... especially when they are so closely related to each other (Z and G35)???

 

g35 is definitely louder at start up and low rpm, but it doesn't open up and growl like the Z when revving high, maybe has to do with the longer pipes like some suggest or maybe the intake system

 

G sounds louder, but to me its almost a tinnier too, not deeper.

 

I checked with a Bad *** meter. The 350Z reads 8. The G35 reads 6.

 

The G sounds better

 

The G's are definitely louder and yes it is the longer pipes and might be a difference in muffler design.

I also wondered why the G's are louder than the Z's. Sort of a oxymoron if you think about it, loud luxury car.

 

Who you calling a moron? lol....j/k.

Thats true about Nissan designing a luxury coupe w/ a loud exhaust, but I don't think it was intentionally supposed to be louder than the Z's exhaust. It just happened to be longer, hence louder. The FX has a loud exhaust too if you notice it.
I don't think it's an indicator of speed, cause look at corvettes and porsches, their exhaust notes aren't as loud as our VQ's IMHO.

 

C6 vettes are loud dude. But they have the exhaust valves so after a certain rpm they open up and you hear the v8 sound.

 

^+2...haha a VQ louder than a Vette engine, those things sound like they got an aftermarket exhaust already....then you see a Vetter with and actual aftermarket....damn they leave you def

 

The C6 Z06's sound like sex on wheels.

 

Ok you guys are right the vette is quite loud, especially at WOT. But at low cruising speeds it seems like the stock VQ is pretty loud.

 

If they didn't have the exhaust valves, you would know whats up. lol
