G3710

So when I sold my 2010 A4 Sline about a month ago I said to myself the next car I buy will be strictly a commuter no mods, the Audi had a tune, 20" Rs6 wheels, Full catback quad exhaust, front lip, S4 mirros and side blades, hr springs sport shocks...

Well 3 weeks with my G37s which I ensured was fully loaded to keep me satisfied no longer is keeping me content!

I love the car, but must MOD, its a sick habit! So far I have lowered my G on Ebiachs and replaced my stock 18's for 20" stance SC-6 20x9f 20x10.5r, next mod is tints (which is more of a must in california heat) and exhaust which leads me into my question...

I like the look of the stock exhaust (like to keep cars oem+ style) what are my options to keep the stock mufflers but get a deeper more aggressive sound from the 3.7, I am not a fan of drone or loud exhaust that sound artifical. HFC? Will this give me what I am after?
Or.. HFC + INTAKES ..?

Other option is Invdia catback exhaust, from all the sound clips I have heard online I really like the sound note of the Invdia. I also see many are running tanabe axle back but have read mixed reviews and for the price vs tanabe axle back the extra $200 invida makes more sense...

As you can read I am new to G37 platform I know of some options but not all, I am after sound not performance, for the 5-10hp gains are not enough to get me excited. I am running a dinan exhaust on my 335i and love the exhaust note at WOT, it is pure sex, highway or idle sounds like stock, this is what I would like to replicate...

im in the same boat as you, all the aftermarket exhaust on the sedan look hideous they make the canisters sagg. My personal opinon i think they all sound rice the one clean exhaust i heard was from 5zigen which they no longer carry in the states.



i contacted the supplier who use to carry them they said it would cost 1200 bucks for shipp and it only comes with axleback no full cat.

Those Stance SC6 are new, aren't they? More and better pics of those wheels, pretty please.

An intake will absolutely give you more noise. Just added one myself last week. It was a little quiet, so I removed the hood liner. Happy now.

I think I would have kept the Audi.

Nice wheels, and a very nice Audi !
HFCs may be your best bet, not sure but removing the mid pipe resonators may also be an option.
And yes, more pics of those new wheels please.

Wow, I really like that exhaust, never heard of it before, thanks for sharing! Dissapointed it isn't available, maybe keep a lookout for a used one. I was considering the Invidia exhausts because they're reasonable, a full catback, and don't sound ricey.

No question about it. Very nice Sline. Even those stock sport package wheels are beautiful. I just sold my set after getting Audi's Titanium package wheels.

I mentioned on another thread long ago the difference between the Asian and European look. Note on the A4, there's no need for giant exhaust tips. Perfect fitment of the dual tips. Doesn't hang so low and obstructive. So much more classier.

Your engine bay is perfection, that is what actually got me interested in the intake for the G.

Yes they are new to the Stance line up. I would have kept my Audi it was fun and looked great but I was not confident taking the car past warranty, oil consumption,cylinders misfiring as well as other small issues with the car lead me to sell about 20k miles before I had planned, ultimately it was sell now or early next year. Now = more money and the G I own is newer with far less miles for the same cost as the Audi @ 55k miles and older model.

I will shoot proper pictures with my DSLR when I have some time.

Wow. Thanks.

That actually rings true. We once sold a brand new Volvo after only two years for the same reasons... a mechanical lemon that was approaching warranty-less ownership.

Excellent. Vossen CV3's have always been at the top of my rims wishlist, but these new 6-spoke Stance rims actually look more appealing to me. I don't care for how most of Stance's rims have this chrome lip, but these new SC6's look just about perfect. And they come in 19's!

You can contact a distrubtor in san diego they told me it would cost 1200 dollars special order from japan.look out for previous late g35 model sedan owners they might have it.

high flow cats will give u the sound that the g coupe will have but if u have an automatic ehhh might not sound so good.

Loving the wheels! I just swapped my OEM mid-pipe and axle back for a TopSpeed Pro1 exhaust for $470. The sound output I'm getting compared to the stock is just what I was looking for. When idling is quiet, and getting perfect growl but not outrageous when I rev it to higher RPMs. Only negative I have is that I wish the tips were shorter, I believe they are 4.0" from the cans.

do u know if the aftermarket midpipe will fit oem stock muffler?

lightlypurified

I think megan racing is the exhaust u want if u want oem sound but louder.

The oem is only two parts, Y-pipe and mid-pipe with mufflers all in one.

this is from the mid to mufflers oem I had removed today

The OEM exhaust on the Sedan sure isn't much to look at, is it?
