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

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.

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

On second thought, you actually might be right about it. I forgot I have a nismo exhaust which is tad louder. But I still disagree with the "chewbacca sounds of the g35/350" Lol.

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.

I'm betting the reason for this is the length of both vehicles. the G37 is around 183 inches as the 370 is 167. This might have already been addressed i didnt read every page.

There are not very many 370's around Sacramento so i haven't been able to tell the difference.
