touge240Z Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I love the exhaust note of the Vq motors, but never heard any that sound quite like this, I know its loud and not suitable for daily driving, but check it out: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoNkEyT88 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 OMG.. DO WANT.. DO WANT.. That is a truly awesome sound. I love how quickly that engine revs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 There's a LOT more that goes into that sound then just the headers and exhaust. The VQ does sound great with a single exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 OH MY GOD That is not at all what I was expecting. I wonder if that sound can be achieved on a Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMWHYR0HEN Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 That was loud. Owner claims Intake, headers, a 3.5'' single exhaust, and cams. All the rest stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumaNoZeta Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Liked how it sounded, but $2200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh817 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 That was loud. Owner claims Intake, headers, a 3.5'' single exhaust, and cams. All the rest stock. And 312hp. Is this proper race motor figures? I haven't a clue. I'm surprised it makes that tone with such a large pipe! I don't think any of us can get that high pitch with anything bigger than like a 2.5 or 3". OH MY GOD That is not at all what I was expecting. I wonder if that sound can be achieved on a Z? Here: Now this brings me to the question, are these like tapered primaries or what? I heard from my dad that they are now tuning the primaries with venturis to speed up the flow even more. Aren't the Kameari headers equal length and tapered and does this taper qualify as the venturi or is the venturi an actual piece that goes into the primary? Still, I have no clue and I'm not interested in stealing this thread. Just some food for thought. EDIT: Haha shows how much I know. Stepped header is same thing as tapered or something like that. I'm hopeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 And 312hp. Is this proper race motor figures? That's about right for an engine built to the GrandAM GS ruleset. I don't think any of us can get that high pitch with anything bigger than like a 2.5 or 3". The sound a V6 engine makes is different then the sound an inline 6 makes. My 3L race engine sounded similar at high rpm but with a more raspy note. Cam and compression ratio have the biggest effect on engine sound. Liked how it sounded, but $2200? That's a very reasonable price given the amount of development time that went into the system and the expected market. I wonder if that sound can be achieved on a Z? No, the inline 6 will sound different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh817 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I always wondered how the stock 350z sound occurred in the first place. Never sounded like a normal V6 to me. Normal being like a Buick or something. Now I'm really curious about making my own headers out of a regular old set of typical MSA ones.

josh817 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 There is another car they did it to. Street car, sounds a little different than the red one but close enough if you ask me. Whatever the difference is, the sound of the car is negligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 christ, thats loud. I wouldnt put that on my G-coupe, but it would be fun on a vq powered Z weekend car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
