I'm curios to see on a show of hands (poll version) which configuration you all would prefer to have on your GTR.

Me personally I rather have a single exit setup. I think a single setup followed by a redesigned functional rear bumper including the diffusers ofcourse. Will not only perform better but look better and give the GTR a sportier light weight physique. If I had the drawing skills of say Bonz I would love to render up a redesigned bumper for the Single setup.

I love the quads!!!! I'll be sticking with that set-up as it keeps the rear-end nice and balanced. I love "function"...but if I can keep the "form" I will. Also...I'd be affraid the single outlet would be a little too loud for my taste. I want it louder, but not to the point of embarrassment.

Quads!.

Singles: Old and busted
Quads: The new hotness

Actually going single really has nothing to do with the exhaust tone getting louder or quieter.

Diameter, Length, type of Catalytic Converter and Muffler design all play a major role in the exhaust note.

Basically all listed setups could be louder or quieter than one another depending on design.

Quads.

Heres a little hint to what it may look like. I dig it.

dual or quad for me.

No thank you. This is just my opinion, but I think it cheapens the car. It just reminds me of a slammed Del Sol with a 10" muffler sticking out the back sideways. Not my taste...but to each his own.

Yes, I understand all that, but if someone manufactures a single-outlet design...I gaurantee it will be louder than I would like. I went with a Borla on my Z because is was just a tad bit louder with a deeper pitch than the factory note. That's all I wanted. The factory Z exhaust note sounds too whiney for my picky ears.

I just want something to deepen the pitch enough so that you can get just a hint of low frequency power in the cabin. That rattly twangy sound isn't tolerable to me.

Like I said it all depends on the design.

I don't think it's fair to rule out all single exhaust setups just because of one brand of exhaust.

Theres many ways to fix an overly loud exhaust setup. If you can spend $70K plus on a GTR then tuning your exhaust tone to your liking shouldn't be a problem whether you go Single, Dual or Quads. my 2 cents


One must ask themselves when purchasing your new exhaust setup.........

1. How much more flow will I need? (Performance)
2. How loud is too loud for me?
3. Will I track my GTR? if yes what are my intentions?
4. Will my GTR be a daily driver?
5. Will I have to pass my state emissions?


For me it's easy..


1. Maximum Flow allowed.
2. Don't care, the VR38DETT with a High flow exhaust will sound mean as hell. I'm sure of that.
3. Yes, To Compete in local SCCA events.
4. NO, Weekend only.
5. Live in Florida, don't need to.

I hope everyone here somewhat understands what a properly tuned V6 Twin Turbo with a high flow exhaust will sound like. I sure do, two words> pure sex...
Some may differ here but for me the GTR is my weekend fix. I have the Luxo mobile to tackle my daily ventures.

That is the only reason I will tune---;purely for sound...I hope to keep the exhaust looking stock but sound like as you say---pure sex

My choice isn't up there. Dual tips, but not quads.

Thats going to look good.

It's there (Single, Dual or Quads)

1. How much more flow will I need? (Performance)..... MOST I CAN GET

2. How loud is too loud for me? Louder than stock, not obnoxious

3. Will I track my GTR? if yes what are my intentions? TRACK it

4. Will my GTR be a daily driver? Hell no

5. Will I have to pass my state emissions? yes, but I'll keep the stock for that

and QUADS ALL THE WAY... i'll wait to see what AMS/VIVID and the U.S. tuners do

I have greatly admired the Nissan exhaust sounds of late (had to pay $1500 to get a decent exhuast sound by buying a Mugen for my S2000) - but as I recall, turbos tend to greatly abate the snarl of exhaust sound in hi-po cars. I hope Nissan gets it right - the track sounds are a bit hard to sort out, since there is lots of turbo/induction whine and reverberant sound everywhere.

Is there any chance one of these companies would come up with a titanium system without the riced out blue exhaust tips? In some way the car is pretty flashy the way it is, if I want to rice it out and have it screams for attention....I'll just put some silly LED lights on the windshield washer nozzles or something stupid. I just don't see how those blue tips are going to blend in well with any color.

A decent system that offers some increase in performance and slightly deeper exhaust tone than stock would be plenty for me. Of course, the light weight aspect of a titanium system seems interesting enough as long as it's not obnoxiously expensive.

I like the fact Nissan is actually capable of engineering a car with all its performance capabilities yet still has a very muted exhaust note. But from all the videos posted, the stock system just doesn't have what it takes to get my blood pumping when it roars. I'm sure driving it would be a complete different experience, but a decent exhaust system just helps to add some souls to the machine.

It's a muted roar in stock form, but i will wait for an exhaust system just as aesthetically beautiful, with great sound before I touch this car in any way.

Blue tips will go well with white.

Greddy did their exhaust for the R35 without blue tips.

As for the original question, I would like to see some singles, but I may end up going dual or quad if nothing shows up that balances out the looks of the car for the single. This car, because of the lines really lends itself to quads, or duals (just not those awful ARC ovals). To go single and look good, it will need not just a new lower bumper, but a new design on the whole back end. Once I go dedicated track car with the R35, then I will go single regardless.

Dunno how I missed this. Thank you. The tips are magnesium, which burn red during heat treatment. I wanted to do something different from all the blue tipped titanium canisters out there. Different metals have different reactions to heat .

These are the ones I want. Which ones are they.



I wanted the Amuse, but I am afraid it will look too big.

These are actually for th BMW M5. http://kultivate.wordpress.com/2008/02/13/...-earth-concept/

I was wondering how they would fit. I had the sneaking suspicion, they were for another car. They would make and M5 look awesome.

I am all about quads. I am sure that Nismo will have some good stuff, as well as Stillen.

I am in for two singles! I am all about weight , I plan on taking the back seat and just getting some nice carpet like a GT3. IMO two single mufflers would sound sick and cut down on some weight (not to include any titanium exhaust)

That certainly looks DAMN good...

Can someone be kind and photoshop that exhaust with the red tips, the attaced rims and a Red GTR?

Cheers

Dual Single Exit Tip.

I want my exhaust to be as loud as possible, louder than my Z (although that would be kinda scary at times).

I'm surprised that only 4 voted for Dual Single exit tips.




Just shows how most just like it the way it is with the quad exits.

Cobb maybe? Full turbo back...Titanium ?

The video of them doing the "modified" (magazine) tuner shootout is the best sounds ive heared yet outta the R35

If these werre slightly slanted upward on the outside, to match the contour of the bumper... then it would be a GO.

Working on making something different. Going to add a 4x6 oval tip to it today. Will post vids/sounds clips later this week.




SS 3in duals to SS midpipe Aluminum 4in from mid-pipe back.

gonna wait for AMS/ Ultimate racing/Cobb and see... and then make my decisions

I got a feeling you are going to like what AMS offers.

That you can count on!

Will offer both Stainless steel and titanium.

Quality, performance and a commitment to support and service.

They have done the R&D and fabricated many inovative parts and have a track record to prove it........ No pun intended.

i hope i can wait to see what you're up to.

i'm tryin'... i'm tryin' reeeeeeeaally hard....

I know the feeling.


I'm sure the SS exhaust version won't take to long so hang in there!

me too, its a comfort thing because i was so into Evolutiosn for awhile (still am) and they were always big with evo members and I see the gains, the R&D, videos, pics etc.... great prices and packages , they race/.... etc... Cobb too...

I certainly am, im in no rush, here is rains and snows and its winter, so I have a few more months.... plus im busy with the end of the NFL football season , lol

I like the quad tip.

I like the stock tail pipes

I wish it were lighter in weight but that's about it.

If I want to get more noise I can change the midpipe (with race cats).

Someday if there were more reasonably priced SS exhausts I would go for it.

There really is not a market for the OEM GTR exhaust. You can hack it up to put into another nissan but it might not work so well.

You can actually kind of do a custom job on that. Buy a Ti exhaust that you like and go grab some metal polish from a hardware store. Get a microfiber towel or something else that wont scratch the catback and polish away! Should be super easy to do. Thing with Ti exhausts though, is that they will tend to turn blue again after some time of heavy driving. However at that point you could always just whip out the polish again.

To the OP, quads!

Cheers

I plan on quads, but another thought would be duals, if the tips were oval and filled the space of the dual exhaust. Thoughts?

I just put the GTHaus Meisterschaft SS exhaust on and the Resonated Y-Pipe. Car sounds incredible, Downpipes, actuators and haltech this week is going in. Car right now is pretty loud but at 65mph cruise i can make her go almost completely silent as long as theres no load... 1900rpms has a serious resonation point and almost rattles the car, pretty serious. Not sure if the removal of the Downpipes will raise or lower or eliminate this drone area.



Mark

Is anyone running a single exit exhaust at the moment? Also, just curious, what would you guys think about a single setup?

Regards,

Jason @ AJR

Coming from the 350Z side of things, is there any reason (turbo dynamics, etc.) to not have a true dual option. This may be a dumb question, IDK.

To me it ruins the symmetry of the read end of the car. That's why almost all aftermarket exhausts are quads.

Checkout my setup, the 1900 rpm rattling is still there with turbo pipes!! but manageable

yea that 1900 point is an issue now. specially with the cats removed lol.. really deep.. i mean i can manage.. but i might get into the rear of the car with a little bit of Dynamat to prevent some of the vibration and resonation. I did post my dyno results with the haltech and setup in the other thread in this engine area. check it out and a few videos
