Can we get Capristo to make an exhaust for the 370z?

You think the subaru boxer rumble comes from the engine? No it does not. It comes from very unequal length exhaust manifolds. Bolt on a set of equal length headers on a subaru, and it sounds like any other 4 cylinder engine.

Now, I am not saying capristo can make the z sound exactly like a 355, but they are a company that tunes their muffler for the sound, a very sexy sound.
What??

First of all, Subaru boxer rumble comes from the engine layout being a flat 4, not from the exhaust. Yes when you do EL headers you loose the rumble, but thats only because the pulses all come out in sequence (since the cylinders fire at different times, not all at once) quickly following one another rather than in blocks. That allows for less interference in the exhaust system as well as the pulses essentially sucking each other out therefore increasing flow and provides some power gains. If you're going to teach me about any cars, please don't pick Subarus.

Like I mentioned before, you can play around with the sound using headers and piping diameter to change the tone / exhaust gas pulses, I dont disagree with you there. You just can't make your V6 sound like a V8 or a V10.

Like I said though, structurally the V6 and V12 share a lot of traits. One of which being similar exhaust pulses. This is why those crazy longtube headers sound like a highstrung V12. If you ask me...I love the sound of that 355, but I love the sound of a Zonda more...
