i have a 350z nismo, and had a quick question. i want the exhaust to sound deeper, but still keep that "350Z" sound,i was thinking of taking it to a local shop to see if the can run some new pipes to the muffler to get a louder sound. any ideas?

 

nismo, agency power, jic titanium, and amuse are some of the exhausts that keep the VQ sound..

taking it to a local guy and having him weld on new pipes is a guess. There's a 80% chance it will sound like a honda.

 

hi-flow cats or get a new exhaust. don't do custom crap to a $40,000 car.

 

thats what im worried about, i dont want it to sound like a honda..

 

+1.

 

start off with test pipes, then go from there!!

 

what test pipes do you recommend?

 

If you don't want a Honda sound I won't recommend test pipes on a stock exhaust.
It will rasp like a Honda.

 

Id go with Berk HFC + Nismo Exhaust. I have this combo and sounds like stock but much louder and deeper.

 

i saw some videos, with test pipes and stock exhaust, it does sound like a honda.

 

Try searching Nismo with Berk HFCs.

 

i have the pro1 exhaust and got rid of the silencers, and have test pipes and its aggressive as all get out. and it does rasp but nothing like a honda. at WOT it sounds like a harmonious blend of VQ+chopper+awesome.. lol im awaiting aam y pipe

 

I have HKS true dual with berk cats. sounds amazing!

 

how would it sound if i just added the berk cats?

 

^
berk cats + stock exhaust = nice vq sound

berk cats + hks = cessna airplane

 

yeah, i'm not a fan of the hks-type exhausts...complete loss of the vq sound.
