Anybody else love the exhaust note from the G35's and the 350's?
Is it possible to use that exhaust in the FD?
I'm looking to quiet mine down and I was wondering if there is an exhaust out there with a similar sound.

You're never going to make a rotary sound like anything else but a rotary.

I dunno Damon, many people can come pretty close to making it sound like a weed wacker...

Well, they ain't much bigger than weed whackers!

LOL! Very true! I have been contemplating puting a Racing Beat twin tip on my lawn mower.... wonder what that beast would sound like?

Come on guys, I've heard lots of different exhaust notes from a rotary, all i'm asking if there are any out there that come close to it, thats all, cause I haven't heard any....hmmmmm, maybe i just answered my own question!!

IMO I hate the sound of the 350Z

...if sound level is your concern, I heard Racing Beat's dual tips are the quietest for the FD. I have yet to hear one but I will be replacing my Blitz exhaust with it sometime later.

My dad drives a FX and I love the sound of that thing. SOOOOOO sweet. Burned a riced out tiberon in it one day. You know how his 14x6 rims and sticker kit adds 45hp. This tiberon guy must have felt like **** b/c he had some chick in the car he ws trying to impress. TO BAD YOU GOT OWNED BY A SUV!!!

Anywho I love that sound.

Hehe, they are quick as far as mini vans go... 280 hp seems to work rather nice with the gearing. I got into it with one of them a while back and it seemed like it could move but i was in my fd so it really had no chance in hell...no match i know but i can see how it could smoke other "sport compacts".

I'm quite fond of running 3" piping back to the stock muffler -- doesnt sound like a Nissan VQ but it sounds nice -- from what I've seen the Racing Beat sounds 'tinny' but it was a video I saw and not in person... :/ I had a video of my car with DP. MP and stock cat-back but its not hosted anymore...

Simply put, you can get loud from a rotary, you can get high pitched, and deep but you wont get the Nissan sound, differant exhaust pulses and flow characteristics... even with the Nissan mufflers it wont sound the same. May sound nice with the Nissan muffler but not the same... also note they have 2-4 cats between the motor and the mufflers to tone it down and smooth out the pulses while killing HP.

BTW, nice one Damon, I got a chuckle out of that.

The Z and G35 sound ok cruising, but sound harshly metallic under load to me.

alot of people say my car sounds like a porsche in high revs but a true rotary at idle and low revs..

and i dont like the way the G35, 350z whatever sounds like..the sound sounds soo fake, like computer generated or like a robot..

I personally love my custom "Chainsaw From Hell" exhaust note that terrorized domestics down in Texas for over 5 year while I was down there

(dp, mp, old *** PFS exhaust with no muffling left)

completely agree with ulost2my7, could not have put it in better words myself

Get a titanium exhaust for the RX-7. The GReddy Ti sounds great (really deep) but I hear they all do. I don't know what it is about titanium but I never thought a rotary could sound so good. They aren't much more expensive than a high quality stainless exhaust anymore.

Here's the problem with your question.
1.) The G35 is a V6 and the RX-7 is a rotary.

You are not going to be able to duplicate the exhaust note of the G35 on the RX-7. The cumbustion properties are different, the exhaust tuning is different as well as the design of the exhaust manifold, and the cubic inches are obviously not the same. Even if the rotary was the same cubic inches, it still would not produce the same exhaust note because of the different design, different valve-train (or lack of ) and everything else that I already stated. Just trying to use the G35's exhaust will not yield the same results.

call me a blasphemer but i think the STI sounds a shitload better than a g35/350z, i'd rather my car sound like the STI.

The RB doesn't sound tinny. It idle's noticably loud and low pitched & opens up at lower rpms, but not honda civic ricer loud. It makes the car sound like it got ***** (and it does), not like y0ou're just some kid that's trying to just get attention.

Its also interesting that you can hear the pulses of the motor quite well. Not the same as domestic v8s, but you get the picture

pugg57

agreed, but i don't know if i'd use the phrase "noticably loud," but it does have a nice little growl at idle, yes louder than stock.. and i LOVE that you can hear the pulses when its idling.

I've noticed that with my RB dual as well.. from 0-3k it seems to be very noticeable. at WOT the exhaust just blends in completely with the engine and turbos. the RB has the tendancy to mislead drivers into thinking i'm actually on the throttle when really im shifting at 3k quarter throttle.. and a couple of them had to learn the hard way..

BLING!! Very true My Dual Tip is the same way. I didn't know if was just me.

Don't get me wrong, i love the sound of my exhaust but I'm sick of getting pulled over and getting tickets.
I live in a prissy area where a little noise makes cops crazy!!
I need to get a midpipe in there or something.

A midpipe will make it worse.
