Need Advice On Exhaust Aftermarket Upgrades

[Seano350GT]

Hi everyone, as u can see im new to these forums as i've just purchased my V35 350GT skyline this week.

The first thing i want to do with my skyline is exhaust, but i wouldn't have a clue where to start.

I basically want something that makes the stock V35 exhaust (which already sounds awesome) have a bit more of a louder grunt and a bit of a rumble whilst idl'ing.

I have around 2 grand to play around with so if anyone had some ideas on where to start i would greatly appreciate it!

I could custom make a system for that but without a location it makes it hard to recommend workshops. Do you want a custom or brand name exhaust?

i'm open to suggestions mate, anything that will sound good and bring some performance with it.

My location is Mackay QLD

for that kind of money you can get a brand name one shipped from the US with change left over. Will be direct bolt on no fuss install.

If you want low drone, quite when cruising but deep still and then roar above 5k then fujitsubo exhaust, megan V2 HR ypipe, HFC or resonated test pipes + stock headers

if you want more rumble and throaty but more expensive and better performing, then Motordyne exhaust, motordyne xyz pipe and motordyne ART cats + stock headers

if you want cheap and loud then a knock off HKS with megan hr ypipe

go on g35driver, there is a thread with sound/video clips of all different exhaust combinations

If you want nice sounds then nothing beats the exhaust washer mod

$2k only for exhaust mods or $2k for mods altogether?

$2k for exhaust mods only = Berk HFC (~$500) + Stillen CBE (~$1200) or a knock-off HKS CBE (~$500)

$2k for all mods = Berk HFC (~$500) + Motordyne Plenum Spacers (~$250) + Sway Bars (~$300) + knock-off HKS CBE (~$500) + K&N Drop-In (~$50)

These are estimate pricing in US Dollars and excludes shipping.

thanks for the replies boys i appreciate it, im looking to spend $2k MAX.

r6n350gt i was originally looking at the motordyne art cats and headers as i have heard the sound it makes and its incredible. Also that's spot on what i want, but i did want the roar to kick in at around 3-5k rpm. would appreciate it if you could post some links to websites that provide these products so i can check it out.

cheers

This is the best exhaust money can buy and sound awesome too.

[R6n350GT]

Buy this, same as i have, but then u need midpipe and HR ypipe and Resonated test pipes

[Seano350GT]

I have been looking around at the moment i'm leaning towards the ART DT-S Dual exhaust system it comes with absolutely everything for around $1,300 which is great and it's bolt on of course.

This also has the sound that i'm looking for, do any of you own this setup?

Have you consider Fast Intentions (http://www.fastintentions.com/product_info.php?cPath=41_50_63_64&products_id=106)? Similar pricing...

[Seano350GT]

Yet again i've had a change in mind i'm looking at going for the Motordyne Shockwave V2 it sounds insane, but more pricey at $1,500..

Is that Fast Intentions brand trusted at all i've never heard of it

Hahaha... Yeah it is good and loud, huh? Got them installed on my car, definitely one of the best buys.

Yes, Fast Intentions is very good too. I would rate them second below Motordyne of course. The Fast Intentions are more quiet until you floor it.

It all depends on how much you're willing to spend on just the CBE. You gotta take into account taxes and shipping costs, so you might be looking at $2k for the Fast Intentions or Stillen and over $2k for the Motordyne.

Yeah man i've listened to numerous sound clips of exhausts such as STILLEN, Fujitsubo, ARK, HKS and i still think that the Motordyne Shockwave's sound the best by far.

I had a feeling shipping would be expensive, but i am happy to pay around the $2k mark for the perfect setup. If only we had some of these specialty stores in Australia better yet QLD..

Not sure of the likelihood, but give the guys at Carmen in Brendale a call. They comply a number of vehicles and may be able to provide something. Mayybbbbeeeeee...

[Seano350GT]

Hmm thanks man i might check it out

I know this is a little late, but have you checked this link out:

http://g35driver.com/forums/g35-coupe-v35-2003-07/353062-aftermarket-coupe-exhaust-compilation.html

I actually haven't but there is a similar page for the G35 2007 sedan which is the equivalent of the V36. I know what I'm going to get now!!
