How do I get the classic 350z sound with the 370z?

delorean · 09-29-2011, 05:41 PM

Sorry, but the 370z stock exhaust sucks! I had a 2006 350z and the sound of the stock exhaust was like a good rub and tug!

Now I have a 2010 370z, and I feel like it's lacking in the exhaust note department!

Anyhow, I've checked out the posted exhaust clips on the forum and haven't really heard one that sounds like the stock 350z exhaust. They are either too loud, too raspy, or just plain suck. Has anyone been able to capture this sound? If so, what setup did you use? Will the 370z Nismo exhaust give me this unique sound?

Thanks for the advice.

Unfortunately you really can't. The 3.7L has a much different sound than the 3.5.

NYBladeZ · 09-29-2011, 05:46 PM

stock exhaust is extremely restrictive as are the stock cats that's part of why it sounds like crap.

m4a1mustang · 09-29-2011, 05:47 PM

True, but the engine in general has a more meaty tone compared to the 3.5's hollow wail.

Edit: just realized you said "part of"

I had an 06 too so I know what you mean. If you want a subtle cbe, the berks is one, not loud, no drone, no rasp.

Just the Berk HFC or the whole exhaust system?

Do you like the G37 coupe exhaust sound?

JC 370z · 09-29-2011, 07:17 PM

I think it has to do with the exhaust configuration. The 350s single pipe system vs the 370's dual pipe system. One exhaust i know for the 370 that has a single pipe system is 5zigen. I think this might be the sound you're looking for.
