I have a NA 370Z and added a Fast Intentions TDX X-pipe, a Stillen GS long tube CAT and an EcuTek tune. My rwhp went from 282 stock to 302 after the hardware mods and finally to 321 after the tune. The torque scaled up by about 15% over stock across the rev range. The sound is much improved and not that much louder than stock at idle.
I did the muffler delete for about a month, and hated it. I added the Stillen axle-backs after seeing there was only a 1-2 hp gain for the whole system. The sound was a little better. The exhaust note sounded way better after adding the Takeda CAI (dry). Finally added the HFC’s (must have em) and that was a great decision, if expensive.

What is a good axle back brand for a g37 coupe? And with the axel back would I need a tune? I’m trying to just swap out the muffler for a little more sound that’s really it. Nothing crazy
Currently have a muffler delete and am looking towards getting some test pipes. Worth getting without a tune? The closest Ecutek tuner is 4 hours away 😭 what's the best test pipe in your opinion?
There are a ton of decent test pipes out there. No need to spend a ton of money, but don’t get Megan. Not worth doing without a tune. The car won’t run to its fullest potential and you get a CEL.
@@SpeedCultureStudios im getting this tomorrow I already have resonated test pipes muffler delete and tomorrow im adding vibrant resonators and later some catback exhaust
I have a 2015 Q X 50 V6 RWD - stock . You’re very knowledgeable. I’m looking to do 2 things but this requires fitting / compatibility . Number 1 is I want a intake any recommendations that can fit on my model ? I heard it’s same engine g37 uses . Number 2 I want a exhaust setup do I need a specific one for my model q x 50 ? Or will any work with slight adjustments. Thanks !
I just recommend upgraded filters for this platform rather than intakes. For exhaust, I’m not familiar with what is available for the Qx or if others are compatible. You could always go a the custom route
So I need a little help. After adding Berk HFC + Invidia CBE + resonators, it tone down the exhaust quite a bit, but the rasp is there. How do I completely rid of it?
Hey what do you think about vibrant resonators with flow master outlaw mufflers combo? Im debating going this route or just the vibrants and everything else stock or outlaw mufflers with everything else stock. Any help would be appreciated!
@@SpeedCultureStudios Thanks for the reply! I do have stock cats! Would you recommend doing both or one over the other? Im also considering the beluga axle back as I love the sound! I just want deeper and louder but not too loud.
@@Rambo-x9l if you’re keeping stock cats, a muffler delete makes the most sense. Keep some resonators so you don’t get rasp, but an axleback exhaust is just a waste of money honestly
@@SpeedCultureStudios I appreciate your knowledge!! I already ordered a beluga axle back unfortunately before I saw your reply but I am now considering pairing it with vibrant bottle style resonators or HIgh Flow Cats or both. Im keeping 2.5” throughout i just want more flow with volume but not too loud. My biggest concern is losing power with the axle back. Would you recommend the high flow vibrant resonators or HFC? Im still undecided if I want a tune. I have a 2012 G37x S btw. I really appreciate any help or advise!
I know im a year late, but I was wondering what your opinion was on the Rev9 Axleback Exhaust. I am on a budget and dont have over 1k to spend right now. Would you wait?
I've heard mixed reviews. It's a little raspy. Some people have had fitment issues. If you plan to do a full catback eventually, I wouldn't waste your time with an axelback. Just have a shop cut your muffler off. It really actually doesn't sound that bad, and its a way cheaper temporary solution.
Muffler delete will not help with performance at all. In fact, some notice a loss in torque with a muffler delete. Drop in filters will help with throttle response but go with aFe dry filters not K&N
Ok so big question! I found out it's illegal to muffler delete in ontario... If it isn't too loud I can probably get away with it tho.. Is there any other suggestions to change the sound so I don't do any deletes? Like just getting a new muffler? Originally I was thinking of just getting a new resonator. The flowmaster fx. Let me know what the best approach is please 🙂
@@SpeedCultureStudios Ok ok, sorry to keep bugging you about it. I'm trying not to delete anything tho so I don't catch any tickets. Which should I do, just swap out the mufflers? or resonators? Or both?
I'm running AMS red alpha intakes, z1 full catted downpipe with HKS full dual high power exhaust and ecutek tune on my q50 red sport. What are your thoughts??
I've just decided after going through various exhaust setups that I'm either going to stay with my Nismo S-tune exhaust with ART pipes or I'm thinking of going full motordyne exhaust. My current setup with ART pipes and a Z1 single exit sounds good but I really like the motordyne exhaust, just not a fan of the price lol
Hi man, Thank you for sharing this info. I have a question. I have a G37X sedan. I removed the resonator and it sound raspy. Do you think is better to just remove the two mufflers instead. I dont want it too loud anyways. Please let me know what you think about. Thank you.
Now I’m not saying anybody should ever run this setup but I’m running 3in piping single exit, greddy muffler, Megan y pipe, Megan test pipes, res delete, and shot out cats, and stock headers
Hey so I finally go my 3.7 back I was thinking about getting a new exhaust what would u think would be the best for me thanks, also can u give me like a lot of options I’m curious what’s out there?
Easiest way is just to google it man. There are so many different options and combinations. Everything will sound pretty good with factory cats, but if you go with test pipes, make sure whatever system you get has some nice resonators.
Can anyone tell me what should I do after I do muffler and res delete I’m installing a Megan racing y pipe on my g37 sedan but after tha I don’t know what else to buy🥺😫
I have a 2013 g37x and I just got a muffler delete with new resonators and tips with the resonators moved to the end up to the butt of the tips and 2.5 inch pipes. One shop told me 2.5 is too big and will lose power and waste more gas, is that true?
islom rustamov Location of the resonators will make a difference in tone only. They will have no impact on power. Resonators are wide open and do not restrict flow.
I have a question. So I recently installed test pipes and takeda intakes into my q50 3.7, have u heard of any cases on the engine going lean with intakes and exhaust mods without a tune?
I have the exact same set up and I can confirm you will get a check engine light and you will not run correctly without the tune after the test pipe install. Didn't have any issues after just the Takeda install.

Will need to be the streetpower resonators. Something large enough to take down the rasp. Just a couple small resonators won't do much. Check out my video posted today. Perfect timing!

@@SpeedCultureStudios Ok cool, thanks alot I been watching your videos. So insightful. I was already thinking I'll just try muffler delete first. So for a muffler delete. Is it just chopping the muffler box out and keeping the exhaust tip? I do like the tips on my g37x 09. Do I just replace it with a pipe? Or get new mufflers that don't have the muffling part?

Hey man I got a Infiniti m35 I got a muffler delete at first, then I was thinking it wasn’t loud enough.then i deleted resonator which made it crazy loud like a trumpet lol so I threw back on my old resonator. I liked how the resonator delete sounded but Is there any way I can still have that sound but toned down ??????
What about aftermarket resonators with stock mufflers? I just bought a q50s clean as helll. I want some motor sound but not hella loud. One of my buddy's has a stillen exhaust and it's quiet as heck but you can still hear it
@@SpeedCultureStudios I had a g37 couple and I did a muffler delete on it and it was loud I want it half that noise or 75% of that noise quiet. Just a little vroom from the motor is enough for me
I have the top speed catback on my g35 sedan and it sounds AWESOME. The first couple weeks were a little quiet but I’ve had it on for about 6 months and it definitely opened up it sounds great and has a good price
Would not waste your money on the remark. For the same amount you can have everything connected with new exhaust pipe and have matching 2.5” It wouldn’t be too loud really but will be raspy the flowfx resonators help.
It will be raspy. And I have never liked the idea of spending money in an axleback. With a bit more money you can get a complete catback and actually benefit from it
I have an electronic cut out just before one of the resonators. Sounds bad ass and crackle and pops always on deceleration and does gun shot loud back fires during high rpm shifts.
Great video and very helpful. Muffler delete sound nice only on the highway, i got mine done on my g37s and went back to stock 3 days later. Going with a rev9 axle back mufflers soon. What are tour thoughts on those?
I actually like the muffler delete. Nice idle and tame for regular driving but aggressive in the highway. Anyway, I’ve never heard the rev9 in person but I think they sound ok online. Some people have had fitment issues, but they are easy to resolve.
@@SpeedCultureStudios i did some research and they are one of the best selling exle back systems at a very good price and good quality. Ill do a review once i install it.
Lol-not unless you know what you’re doing! But you’re right. I’ve seen some results recently for a Q50 with drop in filters and test pipes make over 325 wheel. That’s solid considering many people including myself are around 335-340 with a complete catback. Almost doesn’t make sense to spend the money or risk the rasp for only a few more hp.
Yes I had it retuned when I switch the exhaust. Made slightly more power but lost a few lbs of torque-as expected with the larger diameter. Check out the video
@@SpeedCultureStudios I will do that, which video exactly. I think I have watched all of em 3 or 4 times. I'm getting an ARK exhaust but they are not available yet. I almost went with a stillen, but decided against it cause of test pipes and headers. I know the headers won't make too much of a difference. Right?
@@SpeedCultureStudios I’m saying in the video you say that getting a res deleted will make the exhaust tone raspy but that borla cat back has no res’s on it and the tone isn’t raspy at all but it sounds quieter the stock from the videos I’ve seen and that’s what is confusing
@@bstrick007 The borla is a big resonator and the system has flowmaster flowfx resonators before the tips-check out the videos. And if you think it’s quieter than stock, you’re not watching the right clips lol.
@@SpeedCultureStudios I’m just trying to do all of my research before I buy anything because the setup I want to do is a gthaus non res mid pipe and Megan racing axle back but since it’s never been done I don’t know how it would sound any thoughts? Well those two specific parts*
@@bstrick007 raspy. All Megan stuff is raspy because their resonators aren’t great. If you go test pipes and non-res midpipe it’s going to be super raspy.
I dont understand why some people think louder is better even though louder can absolutely create a lot of rasp and drone and on the inside just horrendous vibrations and drone while driving normally. To each their own though of course.
i have this too and i love it! i live up north so its a bit droning near the winter months but i installed the HKS silencers on them and love that during winter.
I jump my g a few years ago and messed up the welds inside the muffler so cut and added 2 glass pack it was cheap and not to bad on sound also went with the standard size pipe for back pressure pretty good I'm always getting compliments every where
I test drove a bone stock 2013 G37x coupe and thought wow, this is a nice classy but sporty exhaust. Most of the local kids around here chop off the mufflers or install those garbage sounding ebay exhausts that make thr vq sound like the stereotypical Chewbacca trumpet 🎺
I have a Motordyne Shockwave exhaust on my G37, it has 3" pipes, but I also have a Stillen Gen 2 cold air package and a Z1 upper intake. I got an Uprev dyno tune and made just over 320 hp to the back tires, which isn't bad since it only made 328 to the crank stock. I'm not sure about the torque, but all it wants to do is spin the tires anyway, the only tirs that tame it are Pirelli P Zeros.
is a Motordyne shockwave exhaust with Motordyne advance resonace tuning (ART) test pipes and Z1 motors cold air intake a good combination on a infiniti G37 sedan maybe between the years 2013 or 2012 a good decision?? anybody know? i dont wanna fuck up and sound like a nascar on the highway lmao

I would just get a full custom catback. If you’re doing test pipes the car will benefit from the larger exhaust
What is a good axle back brand for a g37 coupe? And with the axel back would I need a tune? I’m trying to just swap out the muffler for a little more sound that’s really it. Nothing crazy
Don’t buy an axleback. Just do the muffler delete. No tune needed
@@SpeedCultureStudios won’t the drone be crazy with no muffler?
@@crunko9613 no there is almost no drone with a muffler delete. Catalytic converters are very strong mufflers
@@SpeedCultureStudios thank you!!
Currently have a muffler delete and am looking towards getting some test pipes. Worth getting without a tune? The closest Ecutek tuner is 4 hours away 😭 what's the best test pipe in your opinion?
There are a ton of decent test pipes out there. No need to spend a ton of money, but don’t get Megan.
Not worth doing without a tune. The car won’t run to its fullest potential and you get a CEL.
I got test pipes without tune right now i do feel
The difference at freeways speeds but getting a tune soon
Hi mate nice work keep on... I have g37 coupe 2008 what can I do to make it sounds better? Something simple not looking for tomuch
Muffler delete is cheapest and easiest!
@@SpeedCultureStudios no pipes needed? Sorry I'm know mate
@@hassanameen2774 not for a muffler delete. A shop will cut the muffler off and add some pipe in with your stock tips-or new tips if you buy some.
What are your thoughts on vibrant reso's + muffler delete, should I also get test pipes? Or maybe a y-pipe or x-pipe.
Vibrant resonators with muffler delete and stock cats will sound fine. If you install test pipes, it will sound horrible.
@@SpeedCultureStudios im getting this tomorrow I already have resonated test pipes muffler delete and tomorrow im adding vibrant resonators and later some catback exhaust
I have a 2015 Q X 50 V6 RWD - stock . You’re very knowledgeable. I’m looking to do 2 things but this requires fitting / compatibility . Number 1 is I want a intake any recommendations that can fit on my model ? I heard it’s same engine g37 uses . Number 2 I want a exhaust setup do I need a specific one for my model q x 50 ? Or will any work with slight adjustments. Thanks !
I just recommend upgraded filters for this platform rather than intakes. For exhaust, I’m not familiar with what is available for the Qx or if others are compatible. You could always go a the custom route
So I need a little help. After adding Berk HFC + Invidia CBE + resonators, it tone down the exhaust quite a bit, but the rasp is there. How do I completely rid of it?
What resonators do you have and how big are they?
@@SpeedCultureStudios So I bought the Ultra Vibrant Resonators 2.5
Hey what do you think about vibrant resonators with flow master outlaw mufflers combo? Im debating going this route or just the vibrants and everything else stock or outlaw mufflers with everything else stock. Any help would be appreciated!
It would be great as long as you have stock cats.
@@SpeedCultureStudios Thanks for the reply! I do have stock cats! Would you recommend doing both or one over the other? Im also considering the beluga axle back as I love the sound! I just want deeper and louder but not too loud.
@@Rambo-x9l if you’re keeping stock cats, a muffler delete makes the most sense. Keep some resonators so you don’t get rasp, but an axleback exhaust is just a waste of money honestly
@@SpeedCultureStudios I appreciate your knowledge!! I already ordered a beluga axle back unfortunately before I saw your reply but I am now considering pairing it with vibrant bottle style resonators or HIgh Flow Cats or both. Im keeping 2.5” throughout i just want more flow with volume but not too loud. My biggest concern is losing power with the axle back. Would you recommend the high flow vibrant resonators or HFC? Im still undecided if I want a tune. I have a 2012 G37x S btw. I really appreciate any help or advise!
@@Rambo-x9l You won't lose power to the point you will feel it.
Damn you’re at 14k subs after a year! Good stuff
Well it’s been 2.5 years lol but yeah just trying To keep growing!
I know im a year late, but I was wondering what your opinion was on the Rev9 Axleback Exhaust. I am on a budget and dont have over 1k to spend right now. Would you wait?
I've heard mixed reviews. It's a little raspy. Some people have had fitment issues. If you plan to do a full catback eventually, I wouldn't waste your time with an axelback. Just have a shop cut your muffler off. It really actually doesn't sound that bad, and its a way cheaper temporary solution.
@@SpeedCultureStudios Thank you very much.
Hi man , so for a y pipe , you recommend the 2.5 inch megan racing vs the 3 inch isr?
I didn’t know isr had 3”. The collectors are all 3”
i have a Q50 muffler delete worth it? power wise? and should i put k&n filters in to help? or something else? any help would be helpful thanks
Muffler delete will not help with performance at all. In fact, some notice a loss in torque with a muffler delete. Drop in filters will help with throttle response but go with aFe dry filters not K&N
Ok so big question! I found out it's illegal to muffler delete in ontario... If it isn't too loud I can probably get away with it tho..
Is there any other suggestions to change the sound so I don't do any deletes?
Like just getting a new muffler? Originally I was thinking of just getting a new resonator. The flowmaster fx. Let me know what the best approach is please 🙂
You can cut the muffler off then add the flowfx resonators to each side and it’ll tone it down a little but sound better than stock
@@SpeedCultureStudios Ok ok, sorry to keep bugging you about it.
I'm trying not to delete anything tho so I don't catch any tickets. Which should I do, just swap out the mufflers? or resonators? Or both?
I'm running AMS red alpha intakes, z1 full catted downpipe with HKS full dual high power exhaust and ecutek tune on my q50 red sport. What are your thoughts??
Good combo!
I've just decided after going through various exhaust setups that I'm either going to stay with my Nismo S-tune exhaust with ART pipes or I'm thinking of going full motordyne exhaust. My current setup with ART pipes and a Z1 single exit sounds good but I really like the motordyne exhaust, just not a fan of the price lol
Motordyne 🤙
What do you think about rev 9 axle back + motordyne artpipes + everything else stock lmk
Sounds like a decent combo.
Hi man,
Thank you for sharing this info. I have a question. I have a G37X sedan. I removed the resonator and it sound raspy. Do you think is better to just remove the two mufflers instead. I dont want it too loud anyways. Please let me know what you think about. Thank you.
Yes it’s better to remove the muffler rather than the resonators
Now I’m not saying anybody should ever run this setup but I’m running 3in piping single exit, greddy muffler, Megan y pipe, Megan test pipes, res delete, and shot out cats, and stock headers
Hey so I finally go my 3.7 back I was thinking about getting a new exhaust what would u think would be the best for me thanks, also can u give me like a lot of options I’m curious what’s out there?
Easiest way is just to google it man. There are so many different options and combinations. Everything will sound pretty good with factory cats, but if you go with test pipes, make sure whatever system you get has some nice resonators.
Can anyone tell me what should I do after I do muffler and res delete I’m installing a Megan racing y pipe on my g37 sedan but after tha I don’t know what else to buy🥺😫
Don’t do a resonator delete. Sounds terrible.
Doesn’t the ark grip for q50, the red sport one not have resonators? I installed mine for my q50 a few weeks ago I love it(I have the 3.7 q50)
So u no longer use a delete muffler? What Exhaust system do you have
th-cam.com/video/b573hz772ac/w-d-xo.html
Instead of replicating your setup. I actually bought the Invidia Gemini catback exhaust. Will bolt it on this weekend.
Cool. Let us know how it sounds.
I just got the same exhaust put on this week. So far awesome no drone quiet when Crusin and opens up when you slam the gas.
I have a 2013 g37x and I just got a muffler delete with new resonators and tips with the resonators moved to the end up to the butt of the tips and 2.5 inch pipes. One shop told me 2.5 is too big and will lose power and waste more gas, is that true?
2.5 is the largest you should go. Without a tune, you will lose torque with a 2.5” system.
Speed Culture Studios does the location of the resonators make a difference and will I notice the change in torque?
islom rustamov Location of the resonators will make a difference in tone only. They will have no impact on power. Resonators are wide open and do not restrict flow.
What exhaust can I get on my 3.7 that doesn’t decrease anything
check out my exhaust videos
So I have a aam competiton y pipe which has a 3 inch outlet too my single exit tomei ti. You think that’s gonna be straight?
3” single exit is great. That will produce nice results.
Speed Culture Studios I’m hoping so, I’m close too that soho also, how much is it for dyno time ?
I have a question. So I recently installed test pipes and takeda intakes into my q50 3.7, have u heard of any cases on the engine going lean with intakes and exhaust mods without a tune?
I have the exact same set up and I can confirm you will get a check engine light and you will not run correctly without the tune after the test pipe install. Didn't have any issues after just the Takeda install.
@@SickeningGojo when a put test pipe the car felt extra bad lowend torque. I put the stock cats back next day must be tuned after those mods
Hey man, how can I make my 3.7 sound deep and nicer while still being quiet enough to daily without being annoyed?
Just do a muffler delete.
@@SpeedCultureStudios preciate it man
Did a resonator delete on my G today! I truly love it imo
As long as you like it, that’s all that matters!
Do you mean the two mufflers or the resonator, the piece in the middle?
@@jeanca0426 he took the piece in the middle out those are the resonators .I just did a muffler delete nd put some blue flame tips nd it sounds nice I kept my resonators
Hey man i just recently bought an infinity g37 s sedan its stock i was getting told to delete the resonators that it'll be a good idea but now you said not to NOW IM ALL CONFUSED im new to this EXHAUST stuf i also heard about megan racing test pipes and straight piping it can you PLEASE help me out thanks!!!!
Do not delete the resonators. It sounds terrible. Megan racing test pipes are the only ones I would NOT buy. Watch my other videos-I talk about all of this stuff in detail. You won’t be confused anymore
@@SpeedCultureStudios what should i do to my g37 s so it can sound clean ? Can you inform me pls
@@elchinitosnla5524 like I said-watch my exhaust video!
@@elchinitosnla5524 you could get an axel back exhaust, for starters, if you don’t want to buy a CBE right now
Im thinkng about getting the Ark Grip V2 catback exhaust. What thoughts you got on those?
Good system
With the same price add couple hundreds and get motordyne
I need helping choosing exhaust for my M37x
Love your content!! Just wanted to ask i have a g37s coupe 2011 i have straight pipe from the headers all the way to hks mufflers and its too raspy drony amd loud, if i get 2 vibrant resonators will it help?
Will need to be the streetpower resonators. Something large enough to take down the rasp. Just a couple small resonators won't do much. Check out my video posted today. Perfect timing!
@@SpeedCultureStudios alright thanks alot man
Hey so I was thinking of just popping on some new resonators hoping it'll sound better. Was gona go with flowmaster fx, something like that. You think I can get a nice tone with just muffler delete? I'm completely stock at the moment. Pls help 🙂
Yes muffler delete sounds nice with stock setup. No need for additional resonators
@@SpeedCultureStudios Ok cool, thanks alot I been watching your videos. So insightful. I was already thinking I'll just try muffler delete first.
So for a muffler delete. Is it just chopping the muffler box out and keeping the exhaust tip? I do like the tips on my g37x 09. Do I just replace it with a pipe? Or get new mufflers that don't have the muffling part?
@@SpeedCultureStudios Ah, I looked it up. Yep cheapest mod ever. Just gona chop the muffler off haha thank you!
I'll definitely have many more questions for you along the way. This'll be my first mod to my stock g and I plan on working on it for the next 10 years basically so 🙂
I'm forsure subscribed to your channel!
I have a q60 red sport I need advise on muffler should I buy from infinity
I wouldn’t buy any muffler from Infiniti.
Hey man I got a Infiniti m35 I got a muffler delete at first, then I was thinking it wasn’t loud enough.then i deleted resonator which made it crazy loud like a trumpet lol so I threw back on my old resonator. I liked how the resonator delete sounded but Is there any way I can still have that sound but toned down ??????
Not really no. You could try to replace the factory resonators with some smaller versions.
What about aftermarket resonators with stock mufflers? I just bought a q50s clean as helll. I want some motor sound but not hella loud. One of my buddy's has a stillen exhaust and it's quiet as heck but you can still hear it
Stock muffler really cuts it down. Simple muffler delete is good.
@@SpeedCultureStudios I had a g37 couple and I did a muffler delete on it and it was loud I want it half that noise or 75% of that noise quiet. Just a little vroom from the motor is enough for me
What are your thoughts on the genuine catback exhaust BO100-Q50S2? Do you think its got a good sound for the money?
What do you think about the Top Speed Pro 1 Axleback for G37 Sedan?! The muffler delete one, let me know!
I haven’t heard any reviews on it, but I like top speed stuff
Speed Culture Studios there’s a clip online by a guy named Nitish for a Top Speed g37 sedan, I think it sounds decent! Just wanted your opinion also
I have the top speed catback on my g35 sedan and it sounds AWESOME. The first couple weeks were a little quiet but I’ve had it on for about 6 months and it definitely opened up it sounds great and has a good price
Would remark muffler delete, beluga racing resonated test pipes, and a borla XS resonator be a good option? Or is it too loud?
Would not waste your money on the remark. For the same amount you can have everything connected with new exhaust pipe and have matching 2.5”
It wouldn’t be too loud really but will be raspy the flowfx resonators help.
@@SpeedCultureStudios so what axle back would you suggest besides the remark, that would be cheaper and better
@@vqzxck you don’t need an axleback. If you’re doing a borla, you might as well just do the full system like I said
is muff delete, 12 in vibrant resonaters , resonated tp soon
Are you asking or telling?
This is all good advice, from my knowledge and experience with my VQ37 engine in my Z👍
What about resonated x pipes instead of stock resonator?
Check out the SCS custom catback video!
@@SpeedCultureStudios ok ty
I did resonator delete and muffler delete and Cold air intake, it sound amazing.... Muffler delete was quite
Glad you like it! Everyone has different tastes!
facts bro
Enjoying your video's...staying stock work's for me. ( love your tie )
Stock is good too! I miss it stock sometimes!
And thanks-the tie is new!
Did a resonator delete and wrapped with exhaust wraps and sounded OK with mufflers but for some reason sounded terrible without wraps
Is the rev 9 axle back an ok unit
Yes. Several people have it. Might have to make adjustments for proper fit.
thanks man good to have your knowledge. Let me know what's next for inexpensive power so far just afe drop ins and axle back
Rev9 is great I have it on mine!
I know this is old to u but what about a axle back exhaust with test pipes
It will be raspy. And I have never liked the idea of spending money in an axleback. With a bit more money you can get a complete catback and actually benefit from it
I have an electronic cut out just before one of the resonators. Sounds bad ass and crackle and pops always on deceleration and does gun shot loud back fires during high rpm shifts.
Great video and very helpful. Muffler delete sound nice only on the highway, i got mine done on my g37s and went back to stock 3 days later. Going with a rev9 axle back mufflers soon. What are tour thoughts on those?
I actually like the muffler delete. Nice idle and tame for regular driving but aggressive in the highway. Anyway, I’ve never heard the rev9 in person but I think they sound ok online. Some people have had fitment issues, but they are easy to resolve.
@@SpeedCultureStudios i did some research and they are one of the best selling exle back systems at a very good price and good quality. Ill do a review once i install it.
@@tomaslopez4322 Did u ever did a review on the axel-back exhaust?
The rev9 is 2 3/4 what you think
I actually go to Inman muffler as well and so far, they've been the best shop in the area.
Great shop!
Thoughts on the helmholtz axel back?
It’s decent quality, but it’s expensive for an axleback.
@@SpeedCultureStudios decent eh? Id have thought better since its a nismo/Infiniti part...
Nice intakes, test pipes & a tune. Never mess with the stock exhaust systems, especially on a v6 😂😂😂
Lol-not unless you know what you’re doing!
But you’re right. I’ve seen some results recently for a Q50 with drop in filters and test pipes make over 325 wheel. That’s solid considering many people including myself are around 335-340 with a complete catback. Almost doesn’t make sense to spend the money or risk the rasp for only a few more hp.
Why?
Nice Logo man, did you ever dyno the car with the 2.5" exhaust setup?
Yes I had it retuned when I switch the exhaust. Made slightly more power but lost a few lbs of torque-as expected with the larger diameter. Check out the video
@@SpeedCultureStudios I will do that, which video exactly. I think I have watched all of em 3 or 4 times. I'm getting an ARK exhaust but they are not available yet. I almost went with a stillen, but decided against it cause of test pipes and headers. I know the headers won't make too much of a difference. Right?
@@TrueRedNatioNe4 th-cam.com/video/ecNQcJnpbmo/w-d-xo.html
I’m just wondering then, the borla s type for the g37 has no Res but it has no raspy sound
I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking.
@@SpeedCultureStudios I’m saying in the video you say that getting a res deleted will make the exhaust tone raspy but that borla cat back has no res’s on it and the tone isn’t raspy at all but it sounds quieter the stock from the videos I’ve seen and that’s what is confusing
@@bstrick007 The borla is a big resonator and the system has flowmaster flowfx resonators before the tips-check out the videos. And if you think it’s quieter than stock, you’re not watching the right clips lol.
@@SpeedCultureStudios I’m just trying to do all of my research before I buy anything because the setup I want to do is a gthaus non res mid pipe and Megan racing axle back but since it’s never been done I don’t know how it would sound any thoughts? Well those two specific parts*
@@bstrick007 raspy. All Megan stuff is raspy because their resonators aren’t great. If you go test pipes and non-res midpipe it’s going to be super raspy.
Any exhaust systems you suggest?!, ayyye you live in SC, I’m in NC lol
I always prefer custom setups.
What do you think of replacing the stock mufflers with flow master fx mufflers?
It would give you a nice even tone. A more tame alternative to a typical muffler delete.
Infiniti Q70L 3.7, resonator delete, Infiniti sports exhaust, Stillen Generation 2 intake..... actually sounds good on mine.
The sports exhaust helps!
I dont understand why some people think louder is better even though louder can absolutely create a lot of rasp and drone and on the inside just horrendous vibrations and drone while driving normally. To each their own though of course.
I just ended up with a simple HKS axle back and it sounds great.
Perfect!
i have this too and i love it! i live up north so its a bit droning near the winter months but i installed the HKS silencers on them and love that during winter.
Any drone?
@@nickhatje5771 very minor
I’m running stock cats, Megan Y, Tanabe mid and Remark deletes. It’s one of the better exhaust notes I’ve heard.
Yes. I had a similar setup for awhile. Totally different story when you go with test pipes!
always the best vids man! stoked for the next giveaway. keep working hard
It’s going to be a good one-I think anyway! AND this partnership I mentioned is pretty awesome! Can’t wait to announce it!
I jump my g a few years ago and messed up the welds inside the muffler so cut and added 2 glass pack it was cheap and not to bad on sound also went with the standard size pipe for back pressure pretty good I'm always getting compliments every where
Always nice to find a combo you like!
I wouldn't say it was by choice but it does the trick
I also forgot I have isr high flow kitties
Hey how about a catalytic converter delete? Please help
It's called test pipes. Adding test pipes is very common, but you need a tune.
Out so what is the best stuff to buy??
Check out my SCS custom catback video!
Whats the best resonator for the q50?
Sorry I missed this question! Check out my performance exhaust video! Resonators are linked!
I test drove a bone stock 2013 G37x coupe and thought wow, this is a nice classy but sporty exhaust. Most of the local kids around here chop off the mufflers or install those garbage sounding ebay exhausts that make thr vq sound like the stereotypical Chewbacca trumpet 🎺
I just got the same car in the same color! I gotta black out the accents like you did shit looks clean.
Love the blacked out look!
Whats the shop called in SC?
Inman Muffler
what about the Motordyne Art Pipes ?
A lot of people like them.
I have a Motordyne Shockwave exhaust on my G37, it has 3" pipes, but I also have a Stillen Gen 2 cold air package and a Z1 upper intake. I got an Uprev dyno tune and made just over 320 hp to the back tires, which isn't bad since it only made 328 to the crank stock. I'm not sure about the torque, but all it wants to do is spin the tires anyway, the only tirs that tame it are Pirelli P Zeros.
is a Motordyne shockwave exhaust with Motordyne advance resonace tuning (ART) test pipes and Z1 motors cold air intake a good combination on a infiniti G37 sedan maybe between the years 2013 or 2012 a good decision?? anybody know? i dont wanna fuck up and sound like a nascar on the highway lmao
Yes that’s one if the better sounding exhausts
