Hello! I recently bought a 2010 g37x. As spring approaches, I wanted to start adding things to the car. My budget is slim, just a couple hundred dollars and I was looking to make my exhaust system louder. I found the manzo axle back for $250 and have seen great reviews. However, none fit the AWD version. I was wondering if the manzo axle back would fit with the AWD version with little to no modifications? Please let me know of any other cheaper exhaust components that could make it sound louder. I get that im only spending ~$300-$450 so i don’t expect anything crazy, just a louder and tougher sounding exhaust.
thank you!

 

I'd just check the for sale section for a quality AWD exhaust. If you're on a budget you could always do a muffler delete, but in my opinion I'd just save your money for a good system.

 

do you know any sites?

And Google is your friend.

 

Word of advice, don't. Our cars sound horrid with 70% of setups. I ran a muffler delete, sounded like garbage. Got a lot of slack for it. Overall looked horrid too.

Cheap exhausts are only slightly better. All of them sound very raspy.

I spent 2 years and saved up for a motordyne shockwave. And yes, I have an AWD Sedan, they do make them.

Save up, and get quality parts. Don't cheap out. You'll only be suffering in the long run and kicking yourself for not going the better route.

Usually wheels and cosmetic bit's I'll forgive to cheap out, but exhaust, no beuno.

 

Truth. I went Top Speed route which sounded good on its own. Added Y-pipe --- Even better. Installed test pipes, car sounded like a lawn mower that took a shot to the baby maker. Took a lot of tinkering and another set of resonators to get the deep, no rasp sound back.

 

Here's a whole different approach. Leave your OEM catback as-is, but replace your cats with something high-flow from the classifies. Berk or Fast Intentions, for example. You'll get a deeper, louder exhaust without sounding cheap, plus you'll get a little extra grunt, all the while under the radar.

 

I'm selling my full set up this week. Z1 HFC's and ARK Grip exhaust. Stuffs coming off my Q50 tomorrow.
