Default TDX Knockoff Exhaust

I have a hks replica exhaust with the magnaflow x-pipe mod and I had a buddy run straight piping for a rear muffler delete. Now the configuration is similar to a TDX with just the x pipe muffler and straights after. I also have resonated test pipes, a popcharger, and the AAM angled plenum spacer. I figured I upload a video to show you guys what this setup sounds like. I was impressed. It sounds pretty good to me and of course it sounds better in person.

Here it is out of the echoing parking garage under moderate throttle.

I don't have pictures of the underside, but it's pretty straightforward. It's just like all the other hks replicas with the magnaflow x pipe muffler welded into the system in place of the two front side-by-side resonators. I just removed the two rear axle sections with the mufflers and side branch resonators and ran straight 2.5 piping.

sounds like your going 90 mph when your actually doing 18 mph. that's why you spend the thousands on a legit exhaust system.

sounds decent, there is a little "whoosh" sound after the rev that had me tilting my head like a dog when they don't know what you are saying

It seems it's just the nature of the beast with VQs paired with test pipes/hfcs. Seems like the only ones to really help with the hiss are the MD ARTs. It's been discussed here before. https://my350z.com/forum/vq35hr/3444...c-hissing.html
