How much did that cost you all together?

Can't say I'd be able to do a single exit. I have always loved duals, and with the stock rear bumper having two cut outs for tips, my OCD symmetry would get the better of me.

That single exit sounds great. Doesn't seem all that raspy at all, although we aren't seeing much load on it. As for volume, can't really say unless it's in person. That's the only problem with buying/building exhausts. You get the note but not the volume.

If I could, I would retitle this thread as "How To Get a Race Car Sound." So far we've got good contenders!

Of course this is just my opinion, but I have the FI LTH and non res CBE with the cf mufflers, and I LOVE IT. For me it's the perfect mix of smooth deep note and a roar when you get on it. The fun starts at 0:40 :)

Sounds great. I would want a bit more of high rpm scream, but that is pretty close to my goal.

The car has Berk HFCs.

I used all mandrel bent tubing, I don't have any sort of that at my shop, so I had to pie cut some pieces to get the angles I wanted. Tacked it all up and then hit it with the tig.

Cost me close to $700 in supplies after buying all of the SS flanges, muffler, resonator and tubing, ect.

It sounds pretty exotic, I have had a lot of people tell me it doesn't sound like a Nissan. haha.

funny you say that because my buddy has a g37, stillen headers, tps, stillen cbe, and it has a major hiss but my dumb iphone4 can't capture that frequency for whatever reason haha his car sounds amazing through my phone but like butt in person

he recently just added a 1 in 2 out muffler right at the Y pipe, it quiet it down a lot but still has a hiss

I don't mind the hiss at all. It's not like rasp where it's just drone and resonance and your head feels like it's vibrating, or when you can almost feel your eardrums beat to the drone. The hiss isn't that apparent to me, and it sounds pretty cool!

The hiss is pretty quiet, and since most cameras without a separate sound input will normalize, you'll hear the exhaust over everything, because it's the loudest thing.

oh my phone captures the hiss and the pops and everything. i just feel its not as perfect as it is in real life. :tiphat:

my hiss gets mistaken for a BOV everyday lol

Use exhaust wrap on the test pipes and y-pipe. It will deepen the exhaust, remove some drone inside, lessen the hiss from the test pipes and reduce the rasp drastically.

370Z Purist 09-18-2012 01:09 PM

I might do a wrap, but seeing as I am still debating even keeping the entire assembly, such a measure might be an unnecessary expense. Worth a try, though.

VoBoy 09-18-2012 01:39 PM

Sounds good to me. Love when it trumpets. But it definitely gets old on the street.
