Well here is the story.

My buddy has a G35. We went driving and I gotta say I really love the engine noise/rev that the car makes. I was wondering if I can replicate that somehow without replacing my exhaust. He told me to try an intake but I am as clueless in modding as one gets. Some suggestions of what I can do and specific part that can get it done?

Note: Thank you to everyone who offers their opinions.

 

You can replace the headers without replacing the factory exaust....that'll give you a sound closer to the G35 but its never going to sound excactly the same.

 

Cut the resanator off and put a pipe in its place. But u might have to take it to a muffler shop for that .

 

ahhaha I rather have the sound of the Acura over the G35 just my preference.....

 

Record the sound of a G35 and burn it to a CD. Then drive around with it playing loudly with your windows down.


This thread is ridiculous.

Like one person already said if you put headers on you are going to get a slightly lower tone to the exhaust note but you aren't going to get as rapsy of a sound. Also, I think the J-32 sounds great all over the rev-band.

 

 

 

unlike most of your friends here i dont think this thread is rediculous..i love the sound of the G35 and it's fairly simple to get close ..it has nothing to do with headers.and will cost you about 55$ ...you'll remove your lower resontaor/air box from just in front of the drivers side wheel...see install instructions for installing an ICEBOX at the comptechusa.com site...then install a K&N drop in air filter...your car will sound alot like the G at large throttle openings and as quiet as can be at idle and cruise...as it gets colder out side this sound will be exaggerated...oh and you'll get about an extra 10 hp

 

same. But for me, every time i hear that noise, it reminds me of the FX35 which have an almost identical sound to that g35

 

why dont you just buy a g35? if you can afford a CL-S then i don't think a used g35 is outta your range. also id say remove the resonator and get headers like typeR said

 

pssh...speak for yourself, theres like a $10k difference, I couldnt afford it.

 

well, i guess you bought the wrong car.

 

i never said it would be the same price... but you can find older ones in the low 20s.
just sell the CL and save 5-8 grand

 

At least he's not tryin to replicate the sound of an enzo or w/e, but i do admit, that the VQ set up sounds oh so nice, the CL should've came with at least a bit of a note.

 

yah but our engine has a nice sound as well, especailly with headers and intake

 

my car at one point sounded very close to that of a g35...

for exhaust i had ct headers, car-sound cat, comptech b-pipe, and oem axlebacks. it was VERY close to the sound except throatier. oh i did have an icebox installed w/ worked intake manifold

 

Get intake\headers\exhaust. I have the combo and love the sound of my car.

 

i'll be finding out taht pretty soon since that is what comin to me in the next few days. hopefully it'll be someting of my likings.

 

I think my CL with all the above sounded great.

 

my headers added a little and I mean little tone sounding like the g35, but nothing close.
Sorry, but you will never sound like a G35 in a CL.

 

motherfuckin
I had my buddy drive my car down the street and around some corners and I couldnt believe that sound was coming from my car. lol It's sounds great. Not ricey at all.

 

My old CL had comptech headers, intake, and HKS exhaust.... sounded awesome to me. Low/deep and aggressive.

 

This is the CL forum !!

If it's not about a CL, the thread needs to be posted in CARTALK !!
