Best exhaust for G35?

[SupaCleanG35]

whats the best exhaust to get for a good price

[G35 2007]

it all depends on what you want...

[SupaCleanG35]

i just want a good deep clear tone

[G35 2007]

well I want a Greddy evoTT exhaust

[SupaCleanG35]

so that one sounds pretty good? i was lookin at injen or stillen

[nissan sean]

Invidia............................N1

[express705]

HKS for sure.

[Chops]

Stillen for lower growl and non ricer sound.

[w0ady]

injen and xo2 have some drone. stillen is nice and deep. hks is higher pitched. evo tt is deep. you really have to listen to someone who lives around you and decide. its all personal preference.

[SupaCleanG35]

im guessin from all you guys post.
its between the greddy evo2 and stillen

[w0ady]

evo 2 and evo tt are 2 different exhausts. people are recommending the evo tt although it is more of an f/i exhaust.

[BlinkerFluid]

I really like my HKS.

no it's not, you can use it for N/A..!!! :bootysha:

no, but your question is kinda retarded.... there's no such thing as so-called best ... and people 'best' would varies.....

sorry if i sound harsh, but that's the truth

[NISMOchick]

it all depends on what sound your looking for. If you dont want anything to loud but has a nice note when you get on it, get the greddy evo2. If you want a exotic mean growl go with the TD TI injen. Thats what i finally went with and it's amazing.

yeah but with the evoTT if your n/a you lose some power.

[G35 2007]

torque if i remember but I can deal with it! :lol:

[NISMOchick]

torque if i remember but I can deal with it! :lol:

yeah well your still losing power. The only way i could deal with it is if im about to go forced induction, still a nice exhaust system

[w0ady]

no it's not, you can use it for N/A..!!! :bootysha:

never said you couldnt.

ok for an n/a engine...larger pipe = more flow = less backpressure = less torque down low = more hp up high.

+1... hince the TT on the name (evoTT), turbo tuned.

"Turbo Tuned - EVOTT

Designed specifically for use on vehicles with aftermarket turbochargers, including but not limited to GReddy bolt-on kits, the new GReddy EVO TT is a hybrid version of GReddy’s popular EVO2 cat-back exhaust system. It was created specifically to enhance non-turbocharged vehicles that have been converted to turbocharged vehicles. Similar to the full stainless steel EVO2, the EVO TT is designed with larger diameter piping, then normally found on non-turbo charged applications. This will optimize performance in its boosted form, while still providing effective sound suppression when used with a turbo. Finishing off the high flow EVO TT is a heat-treated, inner curled GReddy Titanium Tip. Applications are available to enhance most GReddy Bolt-on and other aftermarket turbo kits."

[Gilley]

Most G35 exhausts that i have heard are too loud and drone at highway speeds. The Greddy TT and Injen come to mind. I don't like that kind of exhaust, but a lot of people do.

I have the stillen and it isn't too loud at cruising speeds but it can get loud enough when you get into it.

[SupaCleanG35]

no, but your question is kinda retarded.... there's no such thing as so-called best ... and people 'best' would varies.....

sorry if i sound harsh, but that's the truth

well which one do you prefer if i wanted a clean deep tone?

[citymunky]

At cruising speeds my HKS w/ HFC is almost silent, but when I get on it I have that nice exotic tone. ( Also I have no drone)

[Greatwars]

well which one do you prefer if i wanted a clean deep tone?

try to listen to this site: http://www.g35turbo.com/Exhaust-Upgrades/Exhaust-System.html and find what you like.... not all brands are listed there but hopefully it should help u coming to ur decision....

In the real world, the exhaust would sounds twice as much deeper for those that have 'deep' type of sound. Invidia, injen, stillen are some of them that i can think of which has 'deep' tone

I personally had Injen SES exhaust and love the drone and the deep sound but some people dont like the droning sound.

Good luck

[mtodde]

Sean's Invidia exhaust sounds great and I really like the HKS & Stillen as well.

That being said I also dig the OEM exhaust sound too. I think I'll wait until I have a plenum spacer or new plenum first.

[nissan sean]

for the best clear and deep tone Invidia is the best of all i have heard. look on youtube that will give you a good idea of what different exhausts sound like.

[Lando]

I have the Tanabe Hyper Medalion twin outlet for my single turbo. Its claimed to be 93 decibles, but that really depends on your foot. Paid $650 plus $100 for installation. I can tell you from experience that a true dual will have a deeper tone. I like the tone on mine; its a single 3" coming from the turbo, which is still good. When I get hard on the pedal, it sounds nice, with a solid race tone.

Others g35's i've heard that have true dual exhausts are deeper, and louder. If you get test pipes, it will be even louder, so be careful. Personally, I love Injen, HKS, and Borla (very rare, but sounds just as good, but loud). All are true duals. My next G will have Twin TTs with either Injen or Borla.

When I ride, it doesn't matter who I'm talking on the phone, they can hear my exhaust when I shift gears. High speed, its not too loud, but I often have to ask my kids to speak up. That was not the case before the exhaust upgrade. Still, you can insulate your car with dynamat, which is a must reguardless if you want your stereo to sound great.

If you want to save $$$, you don't have to get titanium. But the look is cool, and you'll wish you had them after a year or 2. I do.

Good luck, and don't rush it. Find some local Gs or Zs and listen to them. Have fun shopping!

[Greatwars]

hey Lando, where did you get your installation done?

[Lando]

Modified Auto, Indy, Do you know Turbo Joe?

[Lando]

Hey's got a sick 650 whp 350z. He's all about HKS, too bad he'll have to install my Haltech in a couple of weeks....

[Greatwars]

i dont...but i heard his name from a guy at my350z (SN: IndyZ-man), supposedly he has yellow Z?
How fast is that shop in doing its stuffs anyway?

[Greatwars]

Hey's got a sick 650 whp 350z. He's all about HKS, too bad he'll have to install my Haltech in a couple of weeks....

that must be really fun ^

why is that too bad?

[Lando]

yep, that's him. He only works on VQ engines, and I trust his work. Ironically, he only works part time at Modified, or whenever someone want's something done to a 350/G35. Great consultant for Modified.

Turn around is ok. They have a lot of sound fab work done to a lot of local celebs. They don't do any block work, that's sent up to Fort Wayne.

As for the ECU, he love's his V-Pro and won't let me put anything in other that the V-Pro or Haltech. He admits that the Haltech may do some additional tuning that he currently can't on the V Pro. Don't know what that is yet, but we'll find out.

I think he really wants to sell me his V Pro so he can get a Haltech. ha-ha! No, really, I think he just wants to learn both systems and compare them honestly. I really like that about him. He will give an honest opinion when he has the experience tuning both.

I just can't afford the F Con with all of the trimmings.

[Greatwars]

haha..... good to know that there's another good shop in Indy especially the one which deal with VQ...honestly, it has been a major headache to find any shop that deal with import cars....

[Lando]

I know, its as if we lived in Detroit or something...

[Greatwars]

lol.....i used to be very happy when i moved here and was thinking that hey, this is the center of race, cars, engines, etc.

then the next thing i know..... where all the shops lol

[Greatwars]

sorry to jack ur thread OP ^

+2 Greddy EvoTT!

It makes the car sound like the male version of the G35! V8 sound

dont the greddy tt make you lose power unless your turbo?

[gte959s]

torque in the lower ranges not power. The power is the same until the higher range where there is actual gains. Forged Performance has dynoed this setup and said the saw no power losses of any kind on an NA car.

[SupaCleanG35]

oh so the greddy evo tt is pretty good one then. is the apexi N1 good?

[gte959s]

I love mine, I didnt get crazy gains, it actually feels the same as far as power except when I am on the highway and punch it. From a dead stop there is not a difference from stock power. Sound wise it is awesome, very aggressive.

The great part is when I get the twins put on I won't have to upgrade again as far as exhaust. So it is the only win win if you are planning on going FI and are currenly NA. It has the 2.75" piping not the 3" piping like some turbo ready exhaust. SO there isnt as much of loss of the back pressure as those systems such as AAM or teh APS 3" catbacks.

[gte959s]

here is a pic of what the tips look like up close.

It really stands out from all the others!

it looks good and sounds good.
which exhaust has more power gain?

[gte959s]

for NA the Greddy EvoTT doesn't have the highest gains. But exhaust is only for looks and sounds if you ask me unless you are going FI.

10-15 HP gain NA or 5% change is not worth giving up sound and looks IMO if you can keep the Exhaust later when the differences need to change for FI are more significant.


go with HKS Ti if you want to stay NA indeffinitly

[SupaCleanG35]

yeah ill be NA for a LOOOONG time so. so teh hks hi is the way to go

[Lando]

Can't go wrong with HKS. And the titanium will really make you stand out! Since you probably will never go FI for a long time, then get the test pipes installed at same time. That way, you'll only pay for installation once!

[Gilley]

You really need to find some other Gs with different exhausts and listen to them inside the car to see if you can handle the noise they make at highway speeds. Some are much louder than others. You shouldn't pick an exhaust, which is an expensive item, based on Internet recommendations.

[Greatwars]

what gilley said..... exhaust isnt really for performance and mostly sound..... and look.....

[nissan sean]

HKS..................................if you wana be like evryone else and their brother's, cousin's, step sister's, dog groomer's, hairdresser. lol. it looks nice and is very good quality, but ive heard it and its nothing special sound wise. imo.

[Angeleyes]

yeah ill be NA for a LOOOONG time so. so teh hks hi is the way to go

I love my HKS exhaust, and the vast majority that have it feel the same way. You get what you pay for in most instances, and the HKS's quality and sound are simply amazing. HKS makes some of the finest products available for the G and Z, so you honestly can't go wrong with it, IMHO. A lot of people own it because it is a superior product, not because it is a trend or whatever is implied in the post above. I would never decide against an exhaust just because a lot of other people own it--they own it for a damn good reason!

[Angeleyes]

At cruising speeds my HKS w/ HFC is almost silent, but when I get on it I have that nice exotic tone. ( Also I have no drone)

+1!!! I agree 100% Also, regarding the turbo issue, I know several people with wicked FI setups that run the HKS exhaust. So it isn't like you would have to switch out exhausts if you ended up going FI in the future...

[Lando]

You may not want to consider test pipes (which replaces your cat) if your state requires exhaust emissions. Here in Indiana:flag51: where ethanol is king, there isn't emissions testing. Test pipes will most likely make your car fail.

So, sorry for the haste suggestion.

One thing, its your car, and don't be afraid to go different. There are so many options for exhausts. Don't rush this one. It will remind you every day what you picked!

Good luck!:racer:

[Angeleyes]

Definitely don't rush this decision--I waited until I heard almost every exhaust in person before going with the HKS. (Which took several months of patience) I originally was going to go with the Stillen or APS, but after speaking to Sharif at Forged and driving a car with the HKS, my mind was finally settled and I couldn't be happier! Now if I can just figure out which HFC's sound and perform the best with the HKS.........
