Some say it may be that extra lenght in the pipes...:dunno:

The G35 has a B-pipe, the 350Z doesn't. Could be it, as well. Either that or the chambers inside the muffler housing are different.

I read the difference is due to the noise ordinance in 2009. So the G37 coupe was grandfathered in. Any case, I just bought a G37 coupe exhaust. I'll let you guys know if it's the muffler that makes the sound difference.

It still to this day blows me away when a super stock G35 rolls by. The exhuast is so define...

agreed. anyone who thinks the 3.7 sounds as good as the 3.5 did from the factory needs to have their ears checked

glad im not going crazy. my fiance has an 08 G37S and i just got a Z. i was so disappointed to find out that the sounds are not the same. i LOVE the way hers sounds. much the same as my previous G35c...

I agree with OP, G37 exhaust differs from 370Z.

jkim23 · 04-30-2013, 01:25 PM

The 350 and g35 exhausts sound awesome stock. Sporty and distinctive. The g37 is one step down and 370 sounds kinda like a Camry/Accord/insert family car here.

Tazicon · 04-29-2013, 11:53 AM

I think it has to do with the length of exhaust. My Z was so raspy when I bought it that with in the first 2 weeks I had an after market exhaust on it. Now it purrs............

G35 and Fx even the 350z and g37 coupe have the sweetest stock exhaust note period. 370Z? Not so much.

A stock GT-R sounds pretty sick IMO, but that's kind of off topic.

I think tone is the same, especially at WOT. The 370Z exhaust is just a tad bit less aggressive. It's the same sound, but it's like they turned the volume up to "7" on the G and turned it down to "6" on the Z.

I'm not really into the chewbacca sounds of the g35/350z and the g37 is also quiet, maybe a tad more sound than the 370z but bottomline is ya it's too quiet for a sportcar, even the Nissan frontier truck sounds meaner.

I hope you are kidding about the frontier coz I have a Xterra and I know how it sound like... And chewbacca sounds of the g35/350 is just beyond me.

ElVee · 04-29-2013, 03:16 PM

Just for the record, I'd be fine if my car made Chewbacca sounds as the exhaust.

Yes a 4.0 vq frontier engine is louder than a stock z

I respectfully disagree with you. I think they have different tone even at higher rpm. I say that because I had a g35 coupe before. You might be right if you compare the g37 sedan with the 370z. I've drove plenty of g37 sedan every time I drop off my g35 for service. Yes g37 sedan might sound close to the 370z.
