Hey guys, just curious about peoples custom exhaust setups for their VQ35DE cars, specifically G35 Coupe. Due to the cost of importing and extreme lack of used aftermarket exhausts, my options are very slim. After doing a few bolt on mods (Plenum spacer, intake, megan test pipes) I will get a tune. I have not decided if I will bother with headers, but I know after my test pipes I will be needing something better than stock. I know a good exhaust shop that I will get to custom make me one. I will be going with (after tps) HR y pipe, 2.5 inch midpipe with varex muffler for adjustable sound, then continue 2.5 till exit. I know it will be very loud with the varex muffler in open position, which is what i want, but will it be quiet enough with it closed? Or should I add a resonator after the mid muffler? cheers.

Test pipes and 2.5" til exit will be loud. Custom exhaust will always be trial and error especially with the Varex muffler. You can just add a resonator or xpipe later on if it's too loud for your liking. I personally think with the test pipes that it'll be way too loud but I prefer my exhaust notes to come on when I go above 3.5k rpm.

BTW how are you getting a tune? Have you installed an aftermarket ECU?

Yeah I’m thinking I’ll just go single exit with a resonator and a muffler, don’t want it to be stupid loud and drone, idm the raspy-ness just going for power

Not sure, going to hit up a tuner in my area when the time comes. I asked one shop when I had a v36 350Gt sedan and they quoted $1200 for a tune expecting only 10-15hp!!....

That's he core of Kiwi's question. Have you actually looked into whether the stock ECU can be tuned? I didn't think there were that many places doing flashes on them. Mail order flash tunes are to be avoided.

Oh yup my car can be flashed and they do offer tunes for this car, getting a tune shouldn’t be a problem just the cost! I have enquired to confirm with the tuners.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
