As much as I love the q50 I've never liked the way v6s sound, until I heard your setup. Doesn't sound anywhere near as raspy or obnoxious as many of the others I've heard, really nice even at higher RPMs. Looks the part too. Awesome car man, I hope you're proud of it.
I just want you to know how much the contents you put out impact on us, we appreciate you alot mon, also i see that you're an artist, I'm an artist too, paint, airbrush and tattoo, but i spend most of my time drivinh trucks
Really appreciate the kind words man!!
I don’t call myself an artist, but yes I like to create things some people have called art haha.
Always thought I should be a tattoo artist and have designed some for friends and family, but never picked up a machine. I paint and draw and have some some pinstriping and sign painting in the past.
Thanks again for the kind words!
Looking forward to get the same setup on my Q50. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I just installed this on my 2013 G37, it sounds awesome on your video and even better in person. Our set up is slightly different, we put the Flowmasters on the very end of the exhaust and welded the tips right on the end, sounds so good. The welding shop loved the set up. They couldn't believe how good it sounds. Thanks for all your tips and research!!!
Awesome feedback. The flowmasters are within inches of my tips as well, but having them right at the tips works just fine. The idea is to have them be closer to the end like that so they capture the last bit of rasp before exiting.
Hey, how much did they charge to put it together?
@@user-fj5ul9ci7d I had them do it in stainless so it was a little pricier, but it was around $400 if I remember correctly. I do live in an area that kinda has a higher cost of living. So depending on your location, it would probably be cheaper.
@@jclogston1 awesome thanks for the reply! Gonna go through with it. 400 isnt bad with stainless
@@user-fj5ul9ci7d sure thing. I'll tell you, this set up sounds way better in person. I turn a lot of heads, I even get some light pops and I haven't had a tune yet. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for this video. I just got my resonated tp installed and wanted to go back after I heard the rasp at 3 RPM and over. Great content, can’t wait to get this setup!
Yep they can be a little raspy without the right resonators.
You’re q50 is clean ,sounds better than my 3.0tt hopefully it sounds nice when I get my exhaust set up and some simple tuning
Those 3.0t are pretty bad ass, but they don’t sound the best lol! A few have found the right combo out there to make it sound good though so it is possible! Keep in touch!
VQ37 VVEL best platforme i ever drive, it's still kicking after 11 years G37x
Definitely solid!!
@@SpeedCultureStudios i'm planning to take an other 3.7, i dont like the new setup 3.0 TT it's a hot mess, not good for servicing after
zak el there is a ton of potential with the 3.0t but I understand the concern.
Gonna be honest I’m not a fan of how v6 exhaust sound at all but yours sounds decent. Just bought a 2015 q50 prem awd yesterday. Liking the car so far and plan to slam it down on some new shoes but I’ll likely keep my exhaust stock. My 300c 5.7L has a throaty exhaust on it if I wanna go fast and sound good 😂
No comparison to a v8!
Q50 looking clean. Gotta get her to the track. Godspeed
We have test and tune on Thursday nights, I just can never make it! I will though, for sure!
Perfect sound man, Ill be doing this for sure!
Thank you! A bunch of people have done this setup and love it!
Glad I found this channel. It’s a Q50 hub. Got my Sport last month ! 😎 Absolutely love it.
Thanks for following along!
Got mine last month as well 🕊 3.7
Rah HenDriX awesome man!!
Rah HenDriX - 😎😎😎 same, 3.7 is amazing. I tried out the 3.0t and IMO it didn’t have that nice throaty sound as the 3.7
Nice bro miss that sound now ....i recently got a q60 400rs wish it had the same sound as 3.7
I’m sure the extra horsepower makes up for that though lol!
Thanks man!
Yes my boys loved they could here me coming from a mile + away LOL. Test pipes and 3inch cat back. Can you say loud but Oh the sound. Like Rene I went with a Q50 RS400 and with some trinkets OMG is it fast. Love both versions! 3.7 3.0TT
Bro, we must be brothers, lol. Love your passion.
Lol it’s possible 😂
Sounds great man... I got the Stillen cat back with cold air intakes and I have high flow resonated cats coming in soon hopefully it sounds as good as yours
High flow cats will make a huge difference!
Hopefully... I want a little more growl to it when I step on it but also somewhat quiet while cruising.. and also don’t want any inspection issues
Louis Feraca I know what you mean!
Might have to change your title to second best sounding q50... lmao jkjk
Louis Feraca haha we will see!
I thought the best sounding 6 cylinder was from my 16’ 535i with a muffler delete, up until I heard this. It sounds beautiful and looks beautiful
Thanks a lot!! The bmw straight 6 does sound great though!
@@SpeedCultureStudios thank you man, I absolutely love the farts on the upshift from my car
@@redishoxha6558how much was the maintenance cost compared to an infiniti?
She looks like she having a fun time 😂.. Car sounds Amazing.. I need to find me a good exhaust shop that’s willing to put this set up for me..
Finding a good shop is key!
@@SpeedCultureStudios how much they charge around to complete the job?
@@princealex10 depends on the shop. $200-300 is pretty common. It’s A 45 minute job literally so it shouldn’t be more than that
Hello...first off thanks for taking the time to create your videos...very informative...I recently sold my 2015 STi ....I am missing my go fast moments...anyway on a market for another fun car to toy with...really liking the Q50 4.7...and I am certainly loving the sounds of your exhaust...do you have any idea on the decibel level...I would hate to put together an exhaust only to have to remove it because of noise violations...again thanks for posting!!!
I have no idea why the dB level is. It idles low and isn’t obnoxious through town. In car on the highway is perfect.
@@SpeedCultureStudios thanks you for replying...looking at jumping into one of these ...sold off my 2015 STi just found I wasn't driving it much the shifting was becoming more work than pleasure ( back issues and such) just want a nice car with some zip that sounds cool and cruises nicely...the Q50 certainly looks to fit my needs and want...again thanks!!!
Sounds beautiful😍
Thank you very much!!
I want the same exhaust setup can't wait for the summer so I can take delivery of my Q50 that'll be my first mod
Excellent!
I love the sound and want mine exactly like it, so to be clear, your complete custom setup is: invidia catback w/ Borla Mid mufflers and Flowmaster resonators? That’s all of it?
No invidia involved. Resonated test pipes, borla xs mid-muffler, Flowmaster 20” resonators. 2.5” pipe connecting it all.
Speed Culture Studios what brand test pipes do you have installed ?
J. Reyes15 these are just the cheap eBay style beluga racing pipes-same as the top speed test pipes, but the top speed ones are a bite more expensive. They fit good and sound nice with this setup.
Speed Culture Studios the resonators you put them in the back where the oem muffler was, right?
J. Reyes15 they are in the space below the trunk but not where the stock muffler was. Take a look at my IG if you have it. I have a full pic of the system.
😭😭😭😭 I need this set up asap
Do it!
@@SpeedCultureStudios I literally just bought the car in February 2020 ... a 2014 venetian red and your set up sounds SOOOO smooth omfg. The smooth rumble and subtle deep noise, just heaven to everyone ears.
wirehot09 thats cool man. I’m really happy with the car and definitely love this exhaust system. Thanks for checking in!
So you spent under $400 For this amazing sound 😭 r u sure? I see ur links but r u sure their is nothing else?
wirehot09 well you have to pay the shop to install it for you of course. Some shops charge more than others. I purchased the Borla muffler from my shop so they installed everything else for $100.The only other thing I would suggest is a set of flanges so you can bolt to the test pipes. Most shops carry flanges but you never know.
A man that sounds beautiful I was thinking about changing the back ends myself a couple questions
1. How much did it cost for you to get evrything fitted on there ( by the mechanic)
2. Any check engine lights after installation
3. Did you get it tuned after you got after thing installed
Check out my TH-cam channel if you get time-lots of videos detailing it all!
Exhaust was $350 total for me but I have a good exhaust shop near me!
The car has been tuned but will be retuned next week with this new setup. Catback exhaust won’t throw a code but test pipes will for sure.
Love the set up and the fitment!
Thanks! It’s just about perfect for me.
tein springs?
Cezar Torres yes
@@SpeedCultureStudios Been looking for a used CPO Q50 around my area and i just found one exactly what I wanted. We shall see this weekend haha. I daily drive WRX with 6 speed the last 3 years, and I wanted to switch to auto so that I can relax a bit in the traffic and my wife can drive my car too lol.
Nico Djulianto you’ll love it. Little more refined than the wrx but still fun to drive. And if you start missing the manual-just switch it over to manual mode. It’s actually pretty satisfying.
My next car.
It's a good choice!
Lovely neighborhood
Hey man, I have a 2016 Q50S 3.0T. I don't know much about exhaust but have been watching your videos and your set ups there so lit !
I was wanting mines to sound similar to yours but a less loud. Can you give me any advice? Like I want that "chill aggressive roar" is that possible?
I have a video coming out this week that will explain!
Peter Riggs Finally got the cat back exhaust on last week..sounds great.Also have cold air itakes.Not racing person..but love the feel of power..What would you recommend next.?dyno..vs other
My car is a 2019 Q50 3.0t lux
Hey great work on the channel and the Q50 set up. I'm taking mine to a custom exhuast shop next week. Do you think what ever they generic brands they use will sound similar as long as it's set up the same. Also do you think it's worth doing high flow cats. Thanks for any input and keep up the great content.
If you plan on tuning, then high flow cats are worth it!
Generic mufflers are fine, but make sure they are straight through mufflers and not chambered. Mine has resonated test pipes, so without those, I’m not sure how close to the same time you’ll get, but good mufflers or resonators will make a big difference over the stock one!
@@SpeedCultureStudios Thank you for the input.
Looks and sounds fantastic! Great video! I just posted some new videos that I made about a week ago trying new camera angles. I made a few more with my cam mounted on the lower trunk of my car that came out great. I'll post them later tonight or tomorrow.
I saw you had some new ones posted! I’ll check them out.
Been watching your videos and yeh that's the exact sound I was looking for my '15 q50 as well. I have no experience with car mods so basically all I need to do is order the parts in your description and take it to a mechanic to install? ..right? 😂
Take to an exhaust/muffler shop yes. BUT read reviews because some of those muffler shops are no good. Crappy welds, don’t care about symmetry etc. you want to go to a good shop with guys that care!
Hey man! New viewer so don’t know much about your car, how you’d like owning a q50 though? I’m currently thinking about getting one, the newer turbo ones are alil out of my price range so prolly will have to stick with a 3.7. I drive a crammed g8 at the moment and just tired of havin a thumpy v8 for a daily, first cool vid of these I’ve saw so figured I’d ask how ya like it. Thanks for any feedback man 👍
Thanks for watching! It's a solid overall car. It has it's cons, obviously, but overall its a very good platform. Check out some of my videos. Might help give you a better idea. I've done some pros and cons videos also some about issues to look out for or parts that will fail overtime.
I'm sorry for the long post. I'm having a hard time finding a right answer. Please bare with me. Thanks.
So what is the difference between Vibrant StreetPower muffler and UltraQuiet resonator? I'm planning to add one or the other to my existing setup.
Current:
Berk HFC > mid pipe > Borla Pro XS mid muffler > resonated pipes > Flowmaster FX resonators > tips.
**In order to tone down the overall exhaust note, where should the new placement be?
A) Berk HFC > mid pipe > Borla mid muffler > Vibrant StreetPower muffler > Flowmaster resonators > tips?
B) Berk HFC > mid pipe > Borla mid muffler > Flowmaster resonators > Vibrant StreetPower muffler > tips?
C) Berk HFC > mid pipe > Borla mid muffler > Flowmaster resonators > Vibrant UltraQuiet resonators > tips?
D) Berk HFC > mid pipe > Borla mid muffler > Vibrant UltraQuiet resonators > Flowmaster resonators > tips?
Dang man that’s a lot of resonators! And with HFCs!?! You want a super quiet car huh lol.
First, the streetpower muffler is just larger-it’s a larger resonator so has more of an impact on tone.
If you got the street power muffler, they’d almost have to be last just because of their size and shape. In combination with everything else you have, they would also make the car super quiet.
I would go, borla xs to flowfx to vibrant ultra quiet.
Honestly at this point though you might as well put your factory catback on lol. The catback doesn’t really provide all that much performance over stock-the HFCs or test pipes is where the power comes from. Adding all these resonators will now just be heavy and expensive and you’re making it as quiet or quieter than stock with no additional performance.
@@SpeedCultureStudios This is the first car I own that has exhaust modifications, so my ears are not used to it yet. I would put the stock system on but I sold it 😅. And you're right I don't want to add all the unnecessary weights. Though I'm going to tune my car on E85 later (not sure when).
Stock VQ37 Don’t add the resonators. Just get used to the car. It’s how a car is supppsed to sound!! Don’t waste money on a bunch of resonators. It’s pointless.
It’s like installing lowering springs and then adding blocks to bring it back to stock height. You would never do that lol.
@@SpeedCultureStudios I keep telling myself to get used to it but I can't seem to. Maybe these resonators will help? Maybe not? Plus, does your mid muffler looks a bit tilted or slanted?
Stock VQ37 drive your car in manual mode and keep it out of the drone range.
No it does not slant. If the shop installed it at a slight angle it’s no big deal
Have a question for you, does your setup fit on 2019 infinity Q50??
I’m not totally sure of the chassis differences, but because it is fabbed up by a shop, I am sure it can be done. The only thing you’d have to check out would be if there is enough room for a mid-muffler. If you can get a measurement, you can find a muffler that would fit in the space available.
Speed Culture Studios Thanks a lot bro for an quick answer 👊👋
KTM PoC anytime. Let me know what route you go!
Speed Culture Studios
For sure, you can follow me up on yt also have a Chanel about motorcycle but will start uploading about my Q50 since I had a crash 🤷♂️
Hey. I’m from Canada and having a lil difficulty finding the stuff on Amazon u mentioned for your exhaust setup. Like the resonators.
If you can find any resonator that is about 4-4.5” in diameter with a 2.5” inlet/outlet that is approximately 20” in length, (24” total length) they will likely work. Doesn’t necessarily have to be flowmaster. You’ll just want a nice size resonator to tone down the rasp.
Speed Culture Studios
Thanks and I drive a 2013 g37x. Non sport with 157k
Can you make a video showing how ur exhaust setup look
It’s already been done. Performance Exhaust under $500.
Hey bro, I like this sounds and can I ask the brand of your exhaust
Thank you. It’s a custom setup. Parts are in the description. I have a few other videos explaining the setup.
Hey boss I’m about to purchase the items you have on your video description, please respond as soon as you can! Do I need to buy 2 of each item ? For my 2017 q50 silver sport 3.0t?
Is that Simpsonville showing up in my TH-cam recommendations?
Looks like it!
Got a q50 abt 2 months ago and I want to start to get into modding as it is my first car as well, any tips I would appreciate and love the sound of your q50
Thanks for checking out the channel!
You will love the car. The advice I would give is to take a look back through some of my vids. I give a ton of reviews and advice as well as install tips and how tos.
Thanks again! I look forward to hearing about your project!
Hello, sounds AWSOME!! How do you think this set up would sound on the FX50s V8? I know this is an old thread and did not want to highjack another. Thank you
I think it would sound awesome with a V8!!! I’ve been waiting for someone to do it!
I have a stock 2015 q60 3.7, I love the sound just want to make it louder, without changing the exhaust, should I just buy the art pipe and keep everything else stock?
muffler delete. cheapest option
Wow how weird at the beginning of the video I was like dang that road looks like the road in Mauldin sc near the bowling alley then I saw the Greenville sign haha how crazy. I’ve never come across a TH-cam video in my town!
lol Well here you go! Keep an eye out for me!
u should talk about wheels and tires what type of tires to get or what kind of sizes it will fit the q50
I've done a couple of tire videos. But yeah I should try to provide some insight for fitment. It can just be difficult because every wheel is made a little different so there are a lot of variables to take into account. I'll try it out. Stay tuned! Thanks for the idea!!
Okay dude this setup is amazing. Is this an AWD?
No I’m RWD but several awd have installed it
Speed Culture Studios appreciate it thanks
What would you recommend for one a bit quiet-er, but still good just not as loud when it starts but still sleek sound???
????
It’s not that loud when it starts
The sound is great . But what about the power gains ? And are you gettin it tuned ?
It was tuned in the video.
Hey I did this setup and I was just curious, if you did it again, how would you eliminate drone? Different muffler or resonators?
I didn’t have any drone. You can try putting sound deadener in the trunk. Infiniti sound deadening is terrible. You can also drive in manual mode and keep the rpm out of the drone window.
Should make a 3.7 group on Facebook
Yeah, but there are so many Infiniti and q50/60 groups already it’s pretty saturated.
I love your videos man! I recently got a 17 Q50 awd premium. The car came with some exhaust mods already- the description says afe exhaust (axel back) and AMS catted downpipes. I looked under the car and it looks like the stock resonators are gone. My question is, what do you recommend I do if I want this setup on my car? The borla and the fx resonators? Or just one and not the other? I love the way this system sounds. I don't like the way my car sounds right now and love the sound of this system. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! I actually have a video with this setup dedicated to the 3.0t. Check that out!
@@SpeedCultureStudioswhat’s the video called I looked but maybe I missed it
hey man, that exhaust sounds amazing. Did you just drop in the borla to replace the mid muffler and the flowmaster(s) in the back?
Basically. So the Y pipe has been eliminated. So where the y pipe collector was, I have pipe branching from the test pipes to a dual in dual out borla. The flowFX resonators at the rear of the car.
I’m going to do a detailed video coming up because I’m still getting a ton of questions! Thanks for checking in!!
@@SpeedCultureStudios Awesome man. Looking forward to that video. Thanks for the reply!
Hagos Rush of course brother!
@@SpeedCultureStudios Def would like to see more, I'm considering a Stillen catback, but also weighing my options.
I have the set up and I’m getting some drone around 2000-2200 rpms, any suggestions on how to silence it?
That’s really the drone range. I would drive in manual mode to control the rpm. Otherwise sound deadener places strategically can help reduce it. Drone has a lot to do with vibration in panels.
I will be trying your set up on my q50 red sport this weekend with a twist. After borla muffler I'm going to do possible 3in pipe,resonators etc. Wondering how much hp&tq going from 2.5 to 3in🤷♂️
I have a video dedicated to the 3.0t with a 3” muffler option or just foregoing the muffler and using a 3” x pipe instead. Turbo cars benefit from the larger diameter exhaust. The 3.7 would not benefit from 3” duals
Yea,with the small turbos on the q50,I don't want to over spool them with 3in from cat back. So I'm think more power set up in last comment. It's gonna be epic. Thanks for the setup info
Clean car
Where can I find this setup ???
Check out my SCS custom catback video and check out the links
I have currently a sport muffler on my q50. I’m thinking about doing resonator delete but keeping my muffler. How would you think it would sound?
Alpha V personally that’s what I would be doing. I say go for it
Cbar65 the problem is that I can find people that posted videos on either a g37,370 or q50 sound with resonator delete and sport muffler
I know of just one that has resonator delete with just the stock muffler.
The resonator tones down the “metallic” sound. The rasp you might call it.
Speed Culture Studios so how would you think it would sound with a resonator delete and a sport muffler bc my buddy with a ram 1500 he I did a resonator delete with sport muffler and it sounds perfect. Ik v8 is different but would it be kinda the same concept as the vq engine
Alpha V the vq37 is really raspy if you open it up. The resonators do a great job of toning the rasp down. A resonator delete with the stock muffler isn’t too bad, but it’s all personal opinion. Try it. If it sounds bad, just throw resonators back in.
Great sound! This setup can work for a 2012 G37 journey??
I would imagine it could. Best idea would be to go to an exhaust shop and get the car on a lift to see what can fit. The borla muffler I got is 24” in total length so it s a tight fit. There are other options available but it just depends on what the shop is capable of!
Thanks for watching! Let me know how it goes!!
Thanks!
Seems like you have a test pipes installed as well, do you suggest this set up without test pipes and do you think I it’ll produce a similar sound? Also what test pipes are you running? Q50 3.7 15’
Yes it has test pipes. In this video it was top speed resonated test pipes.
The setup sounds good with factory cats as well. Several people have done its
Ok thanks! Either way you’ll need a tune to get the check engine light off right?
@@jgon101 No. Only if you install test pipes.
I'm curious, do you have any smell issues running test pipes? Any CEL or did you retune to get rid of it?
Also, so drone at all so far with your set up?
Drone is not bad at all. Of course you get a smell with test pipes-there are no cats. But that’s just how a real car should smell. You need a tune to avoid cel
@@SpeedCultureStudios let's say on a summer day and you have Windows opened, is the smell very intrusive or just bad when you're standing right behind it? I'm debating HFC vs TP for cost reasons.
Cars N' Boba I only notice it outside the car. But I grew up around motorcycles and muscle cars. It’s a good smell to me.
@@SpeedCultureStudios 😁 gotcha , thanks!
Heyy hope you respond.. I have a q50 and I want to hook it up nice.. I love how this sounds what exactly is it and I ask at the mechanic ? I don’t know much about this lol
Go to my SCS Catback made easy video for all of the details and links to pieces. I even include a photo you could show the shop. And don’t go to a mechanic-you’ll need to go to an exhaust shop
Was looking for your video with your set up for the VQ exaust cant find it.
th-cam.com/video/b573hz772ac/w-d-xo.html
You told to video that one inlet and two out let NOT two Inlet and two out let..
Borla 40348 Pro Xs muffler I guess right? Any recommendations for high flow cat please?
No-I said the ORIGINAL plan was One in Two out but I did not like the look of the muffler. So I went with the Borla xs which is two in two out. It’s better.
BERK High Flow cats are good and not too expensive!
Thank you and highly appreciated
By the way, why not BORLA all the way ? Why you put flow master ?
andy guinanao I didn’t see any borla resonators that worked for me. And a resonator is a resonator-not much to it-so no need to spend $100 each.
Big agreed , last questioned boss hehehe why the muffler first then resonator instead of resonator in mid and exhaust on the tail of car right? Why in your set up muffler in mods and resonator at the tail? Any clue and idea please this is the last thanks
I have a 16 3.0T, any recommendation on exhaust sounds like this?
Try the same setup.
Got it man,I already have overheating problem with my ddtt before step into mods,I really should go vq.
Brandon Han you won’t have the power potential but it’s still a fun car!
@@SpeedCultureStudios Can you send me some pictures of the exhaust system setup,I'm a little confusing about where to put all there parts. my email nclogi@gmail.com, tks man.
found it in another video and ready to get them installed, have a nice weekend.
Can you link the other video for this setup?
hey brother i’m new the game but really like your set up. if i go to an exhaust shop what exactly do i ask for to get what you have
Check out my SCS Catback made easy video. Good description and picture in therr
What year is your Q50? I am new to mods. I've had my 2015 Q50 3.7 for little over a year now and would love to install something like this on mine. Sounds beautiful. I just need to follow the links in the description, buy the parts, and then have a muffler shop install them for me? Seems too easy lol.
Thanks man! It’s a 2015 as well. And yes, sounds easy, but that’s literally all it takes!
@@SpeedCultureStudios do you get any drone cabin noise when you're cruising on the highway around 60+ mph?
Zachary Widener nope. Actually 60mph in 5th gear is my favorite. So smooth. But no, no drone in the highway. I have a little drone around 2000 rpm but only with non resonated test pipes. With resonated, there is 0 drone for me.
@@SpeedCultureStudios so one borla mid-muffler, two flowmaster resonators, and two tips?
Zachary Widener yep. But you’ll want a set of 2.5” flanges as well so you can bolt up to the test pipes/cats.
This vid explains it all and has it all listed:
th-cam.com/video/b573hz772ac/w-d-xo.html
What is the silancer in side
Have you seen Freshhkiicks’ exhaust? The Ark Performance Grip? Sounds better I would say. But this still sounds good.
I have seen it and disagree about it sounding better. The reason being is that if you put them side by side, I don’t think most people could tell me which one had which.
Speed Culture Studios Nah you can definitely tell the difference, his is louder definitely.
Kevin Shahidi might be the camera. I wouldn’t want it much louder than mine. Still wouldn’t say it sounds better. Not knockin it, it definitely sounds good , just has that little bit of rasp left over am I’m not a fan of the VQ rasp.
Do I just need 1 flowmaster or two? (Am new to car modding)..
2. Take a look at my SCS Catback made easy video. It lists all the parts and quantities.
@@SpeedCultureStudios Thank you!
Nice setup man, did you order x2 of each?
Thanks!
1 borla
2 flowFX resonators
1 set of flanges
1 set of tips
2 flex pipe are optional
@@SpeedCultureStudios thanks for the reply, am gonna be back for more questions 🤣
Would this exhaust work on a 2015 AWD q40?
I'm sure it would.
Where did you get ur taillights
They are factory
Quick question, is your car a RWD or AWD model? Have heard maybe possible fitment issues with the AWD.
RWD. Fitment issues?
@@SpeedCultureStudios due to the AWD converter transfer case underneath
@@matthewpederson8796 ah the exhaust. Many have installed it just how it’s designed. A good shop can tuck it up tight. If you’re really low, you can install the parts in reverse order.
So what did you did to it,it sounds nice😍😫
Hey I am new to the modding scene and want an exhaust set up that is like yours since it isn’t obnoxiously loud and doesn’t have drone. I was wondering if you have an X-pipe or just the Borla muffler and resonators? Also, what did you use the sound deadener for and is it needed? Thanks.
You’ve found the right channel! The Borla is essentially an x pipe. It’s called a muffler but it is really just a resonated x pipe. And being close to the test pipes, it absorbs a ton of rasp immediately. The large resonators our back take the rest of it leaving a nice even tone.
The sound deadener just helps stabilize body panels which reduces drone. It’s not necessary, it just helps keep the interior comfortable. I don’t really need it now, but with my last setup it was helpful!
Speed Culture Studios oh wow thanks for the quick response! Your channel is like a gold mine for a new Q50 owner haha
One more question, how much piping (or test pipes) do I need and what brand/type to go along with the rest of the components? I’ve found all the other parts online just not sure about the piping
Onkar Aujla you won’t find the piping. That has to be custom bent by the exhaust shop. My shop connected everything with pipe and labor for $150. It took 45 minutes for them to do. Make sure you shop around.
There are a lot of options for test pipes. Just don’t get Megan racing.
Speed Culture Studios Oh so I have to buy test pipes? What specs do those have to be and how many? Also what does the shop have to bend? The test pipes or the stock piping? Like I said I’m new to this so I want to be sure about what I’m doing haha
Onkar Aujla you don’t have to install test pipes if you don’t want to. You just said you wanted to do this setup. The shop will have to bend pipe to connect it all together.
I have no stock pipe left. The stock pipe diameter is so small.
The oval flange in your description is currently sold out, will a triangle flange work or no?
No, it needs to match your test pipes/cats which are 2 bolt flanges. Ask you local exhaust shops. They may stock them or have a source.
Test pipes with custom cat back? I’m looking to get the exact set up as yours but im not sure if u still have the test pipes on or high flow cats?
I currently still have test pipes, but will be going back to resonated. I’ve never had high flow cats.
Will this set up work for q50 2.0
Amazing sound, what is the name of your exhaust please ?
Thank you. There is no name. This is a custom design. The elements are linked in several of my exhaust videos.
Borla Pro xs muffler with flowmaster resonators.
I just got a G37s 2012, can you please specify what are the parts you installed to make it sound like that please? Sounds good !
All parts described and linked in this video: th-cam.com/video/VFG8e6eVTGU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks!!!! Is the sound loud inside? I wouldn’t like that 👍
Also would I get the same sound if I choose not to get the tips?
@@djjorglopez6994 yes. You can use any tips you’d like or even reuse the factory ines
@@djjorglopez6994 if you’re not used to custom exhaust systems it might be loud for you
I have a 2014 q50 awd non sport just to be clear do I have to order 2 resonators and 1 muffler to get the sound?
Yes
Do you have a ceramic coating? How do you keep the black paint looking so glistening and shiny?
Not ceramic coated yet. I just wash it regularly, but good lighting helps!
Any swirl marks or anything?
Naman Gupta Some. Previous owner must have loved the car wash.
It’s getting paint correction and ceramic coat shortly!
Is this set up with the remark axelback muffler delete ?
No this is a full custom catback
Nice car
Thanks!!
Hi sir what flanges you used for this custom set up
They are 2.5” flanges and can be found on eBay. They are linked in my other exhaust videos.
will this work for the g35
Yes. Several have done it
Can I use this set up on my 2008 Infiniti g35 sedan with stock cats ?
Yes. It just won’t be loud with cats
will i still be able to make pops and bangs with this set up once tuned
Yes, as long as you have test pipes.
Hey man I’m considering getting a q50 what year is ur q50 and would it matter which year ? I’m aiming for 2014-16 models thanks man !
Its a 15. Check out my other videos. the 16 is different.
Do you have to leave the catalytic converters on?
You don’t have to be test pipes are not street legal
Hey man did you keep your stock 2.5inch pipes or did you get all new?
Stock pipe is like 2 inches. The stock why pipe is a little bigger but the rest is very small from the factory. This is all new 2.5”
hows the drone with the windows up?
Drone only between 1900-2200 rpm. And very minimal. I always drive in manual mode so am never in that rpm range anyway
@@SpeedCultureStudios good to hear, thanks for the reply!
Do you need a tune after installing test pipes or can I still get the same sound in the video without test pipes ? Normally I wanted motordyne but dam this one is way too good and cheaper lol 👌
Catback makes all the difference, but a tune doesn’t do anything for the sound. You will need a tune for test pipes tho yes
Speed Culture Studios no tests pipes then for me lol ,Got quoted 500 flat at a local shop using the exact parts you have. Just might have to pull the trigger.
When you shot this video did you have a test pipe installed? or just the custom cat back?
Yes. Test pipes and catback.
Hey my guy!! That midpipe is not available anymore! Having trouble finding the best alternative. Any advice??
What do you mean the midpipe is not available? You talking about the borla?
@@SpeedCultureStudios yes the borla. Not sure if thats the one you told me to get to supress the test pipes
@@gods1hell1spawn10011 Yes. It does a great job eliminating the VQ rasp. Check out my SCS Catback made easy video. Explains everything in detail and links to all parts.
@@SpeedCultureStudios ah, yea the link says no more available. There is one similar but 1 1/4 in/outlet
@@gods1hell1spawn10011 I'm not sure what you mean. I just checked the links this morning.
All still good.
Did ur exhaust backfired/crackled after u got the borla and the resonators?
It crackles and pops a little from time to time, but the resonators are meant to tone that kind of stuff down. I have the flame map so if I really want it I can turn that on.
I Have a 2015 Q50s I would like to do a muffler delete will trigger my check engine light And which one you recommend for best sound
No muffler delete won’t give a check engine. I recommend a system similar to what I have.
Thank You
How easy is the install for these parts?
Unless you have a pipe bender, a shop would have to do it. They should be able to do it in less than an hour.
@@SpeedCultureStudios awesome thank you. i just bought a 14 q50 3.7 and im looking for the best exhaust to put on it
Hey man!
I have the same car 2014 Q50S hybrid & I just ordered the exact same parts except I cannot find the Upower tips anywhere. Any alternatives for those?
Thanks a lot for these videos!
Thanks for watching!!

I’m in Canada so can’t order off this link

I already bought everything else except for the interior sound mats. Can I just skip getting the exhaust tips & simply use the ones that came with the car (stock)?
RealRapMusicAndSongs yes you can use the stock tips.
What kind of wheels are tho🔥?
These were drag dr53.
Can I run a 3 inch piping with this set up? Or only 2.25 and 2.5
You can do 3” if you want but you’ll need the magnaflow alternative to the borla.
@@SpeedCultureStudios dang it I already ordered the borla😪😪😪😪😪
@@mateogregory283 cancel it. What car do you have?
@@SpeedCultureStudios G37 coupe, it already shipped
@@mateogregory283 you don’t need 3” with the 3.7. 2.5” is the maximum diameter
I ordered a cat-back exhaust and lower downpipes for my 17 Q60. I’m afraid of getting too much drone and rasp. Would I need 2 resonators if I want to quiet it down a little bit?
Yes, adding a resonator to each side will help get rid of the rasp if it’s too bad for you. It won’t kill volume all that much but a quality resonator helps a lot with rasp.
Speed Culture Studios i appreciate that man. Will upload a video once they are on the car!
Aliu_Q60 A no problem! Can’t wait to hear it!
