Hey all

I've being doing A LOT of research and wondering what are the best exhausts for a v36 sedan? I went and spoke to my local import exhaust shop he offered for 1500 custom exhaust, I've seen some for sale in the states ( Top Speed pro 1 ) landed for under $1000 and they seem pretty decent by the YouTube videos I look up G37 sedans silly Americans, Also came accros a company called ' meisterschaft ' now there exhaust sounds amazing and looks pretty good as well butttttt.... the price to ship is steep from the company don't know why.

what do people that have ??? custom or imported exhausts what are your thoughts and recommendations?

If you go custom, find someone who knows what they are doing. Most exhaust shops will just bend up some piping to suit, weld in an 'off the shelf' muffler, charge you a bucket of cash and call it a 'custom' system.

IMHO you would be better off buying a system from a company that has taken the time to tune a system to suit the car.

I have a custom exhaust for my V36 350GT Sedan. I think it's great, sounds awesome and unique and it didn't cost as much as a shelf. Meisterschaft is awesome...if you can afford it get it. Build quality is flawless and it sounds so f**king awesome. It's expensive because of the quality of it. No BS.

My setup is Stillen hfc 2.5" to a Magnaflow 2.5" x-pipe then dual pipes to HKS Legamax muffler. The only thing about the muffler is that it is a 2".....I bought the wrong one. The X-Pipe takes out most of the noise.

No resonators needed as the X-pipe takes out most of the sound. At high revs, it's loud enough for me. At low revs (3k?) you can hear the VQ sound but not noisy at all. No drone whatsoever.

If I could do it again, I would probably try the Fujitsubo Legalis and get FI HFC instead of the Stillen. However I was told the FI and Stillen has Magnaflow core so it shouldn't make much of a difference. Could be wrong.

If you want a bit more flow (and therefore, performance, no matter ow little a gain you get out of it), then I don't really have any recommendations I can make.

But if you just want a nice note, like I did, then I can wholeheartedly recommend the Megan Racing muffler that I got. Bolt-on and have fun. They only had the burnt titanium look tips on it though, which I wasn't a fan of, so I chopped them off and replaced them with some nice stainless steel oval tips. I believe they now offer it with conventional polished tips so you won't have to go to that extent like I did.

I couldn't agree with you more sonicii (I've been there, done that... not just once... but twice!) - won't be doing that again.

Stick with an off the shelf cat back exhaust system from a reputable company that has invested the $$$ into R&D.

I had Andrew from AM Performance do the cat back on my 370GT Sedan.

In hindsight, I think it's probably better to buy one from a company that has done a load of R&D to perfect their product but Andrew does top notch work and I'm happy to support local business when they're great people.

I'm also happy with what he produced :)

However with the aussie dollar being so piss poor at the moment, I'm not sure buying from overseas is a great idea right now....

One advantage of getting a custom exhaust made is you can always go back to the shop to get it tweaked if you're not happy. Just try to be as specific as possible when you tell them what you want otherwise you'll end up paying even more.

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
