Exhaust always sounds different in person. That is why I don't really care to do sound clips. Besides, at the level you are buying long tubes for, who the fck cares what it sounds like.

Yea, that was the plan but the G didn't burp right and needed coolant so we lost a lot of time...all this is done on my 4s with the mic covered/muffled to pretty much catch how it sounds!

The G35 was so hypnotic and in your soul!

I think otherwise, for those who are not pushing it too the limits like you are. Sound is the sole reason for buying LTH? So far PPE's paired to a quaility exhaust (AAM/AP/Motordyne) hasn't dissapointed!

Also the G35 was wrapped the Z wasn't well follow up with them on any heat issues.

I have numbers for the 08 HR Z I posted! The G35 however didn't post good numbers so there is nothing to post! Our tuners here I'd say arent as experienced in the VQ as state side. And I quote from the tuner on how the Z could make more power..."a true dual would help it pass 7k as the single is choking it" ....wtf ?!?!? Dunno can't wait to get stateside...

08 HR 291whp 269wtq
Dual nismo intakes, PPE LTH, Motordyne XYZ-pipe w/resonator, Agency Power Catback.

Yea King thats a pretty DA remark. But its cool iv had people tell me back in the day when I ran singles "You should put two on there youd get twice as many HP"

Side Note were getting near that time. Think I might even take next Weds off to drop my car off a day early and have it back friday. Just lowered my car lower and umm idk if its to low but I may have CIN also take my car to an Alignment shop but idk scared about other roads and it bottoming out occasionally

Also Shooting a flyby Vid next week before Headers and then one after. Dont expect a HUGE sound change since im already running tps

Posting a dyno vid with no numbers is like posting a 1/4 mile run with no times. It's also like when you're about to blow your load and the girl just walks out without so much as a goodbye.

Well UpRev is on the way, was running a Cobb stage 2+ can tune before. Drove it to work today with the Cobb removed, A/F never below 13.6 at WOT , the car felt like a dog.

Hopefully on the dyno and tuned in a few weeks. Just need to fab up the 3.5 inch intake pipe, get the TB and adapter harness. Last pieces, and i will finally start building the replacement/fun motor.

Are you modifying the plenum for the TB?

Ok so Im not going to post my dyno numbers yet bc I have a pretty bad valve cover gasket leak and my spark plugs are covered in oil. However Not impressed with peak gains on a DE. Of course as posted you will need cams on a DE. All good just not going to spend that kind of $ on a V6 engine. Bobby@CIN made comments that my exhaust is to free flowing where Im losing power. He made a suggestion of Single but as we discussed My car is a DD and im not looking for EVERY hp out of my car.

I am very pleased with the sound besides a tad of rasp around 3500 and on revs when the rpms come back down nasty hiss. As I can feel and what Bobby said my dyno from about 4300 to redline it pulls like a shot of nitrous.

Bobby said when I fix my Valve cover leak(btw anyone know where to get a good deal like Lfab had?) and new plugs to come back and let him mess with the tune again. Even said we may switch out my exhaust to a 3" single and see what yields. but unless it sounds like SEX to my ears I wouldnt do it.
