Why doesn't the Z exhaust note :purrrr: like the G37

Sorry for the poor choice in wording for the Z exhaust note but I can always tell if it's a G37/FX50 driving by it's very noticeable purrrr exhaust note. Sort

Sorry for the poor choice in wording for the Z exhaust note but I can always tell if it's a G37/FX50 driving by it's very noticeable purrrr exhaust note. Sort of like how you can always tell when a WRX/STI is rolling through. With the Z, I don't hear much of, if at all, that nice purrr from the Infiniti's. Maybe my hearing is going.

I dunno, I've always saw the G's (35's and 37's) always sounded more like a 350 than a 370 with the higher pitches. But I have no problem with my FI exhaust + headers. It gives a nice deep rumble. When I get back home this weekend, I'll take the go pro out and do a start up vid for you...

You are right and I have noticed that as well. I think the exhaust on the 370z sounds like the one on the IPL G37.
