Yeah these cars do get loud without the muffler. Surprising how good the factory muffler works!

i have the same thing but i wanna go louder what should i do? budget friendly 😅

@@coryfreedman9301 12in vibrant resonators

It’s going to be a good one-I think anyway! AND this partnership I mentioned is pretty awesome! Can’t wait to announce it!

Well it’s been 2.5 years lol but yeah just trying To keep growing!

Stock is good too! I miss it stock sometimes! And thanks-the tie is new!

Really appreciate that! I’d love to make 3.0t vids but I don’t have one so I don’t have as much credibility. And there are a few guys-boost in motion and enthusiast POV already making them so I don’t want to step on any toes.

@@SpeedCultureStudios I'm subscribed to all 3 of you guys but I watch more of you & Boost since you 2 are Q50 guys...it be nice to see a collab video with you 2 sometimes in the future....and oh yeah Congratulations on the numbers bro!

$noopyRUger thanks a lot man! Yeah I’d love to collaborate with boost and some other guys. If we can ever end up in the same spot at the same time we could make it happen.

This is funny I got a q50 a few days ago, I’m 19 and I learned to drive during Covid, on dads 500hp Mercedes’ so I was doing the same lol

Yes it’s better to remove the muffler rather than the resonators

Lol-not unless you know what you’re doing! But you’re right. I’ve seen some results recently for a Q50 with drop in filters and test pipes make over 325 wheel. That’s solid considering many people including myself are around 335-340 with a complete catback. Almost doesn’t make sense to spend the money or risk the rasp for only a few more hp.

Why?

Thanks a lot! Good stuff coming so stay tuned!

I noticed a lower town with a y pipe as well but if doing a custom setup, I’d get rid of the y pipe

@@SpeedCultureStudios Hey man love all your vids!! been wanting you to answer this question. i want to get a custom exhaust for my g37 sedan. looking for good sound and performance before i tune it. price is not a worry for me. what exactly should i do for the best sound?

@@SpeedCultureStudios what do you think are some good resonators to purchase if you did end up doing the delete?

Exactly! Pretty cheap way to get the car sounding strong-especially if it’s only temporary. Why no, right!?!

@@SpeedCultureStudios on the contrary , and i can only speak for Q6, 3.7 coupe , muffler delete was absolutely unbearable. too loud , tons of drone as well. so i ended up adding two amazon stainless mufflers back in. maybe muffler delete makes more sense on the sedan models.

xorencryption I’m not sure why the Q 60 would be any different. Maybe What is unbearable and obnoxious to you is music to everyone else’s ears lol.

@@SpeedCultureStudios lol yeah i'm getting old and boring i guess . also i don't want to have to dance around cops pulling me over for noise pollution. aside from joking though , i think sound engineering in between sedan and coupes are different just by the fact that coupes come with a single muffler and sedans have a pair of small mufflers.

@@xorencryption was it a 6spd manual??

I have the exact same set up and I can confirm you will get a check engine light and you will not run correctly without the tune after the test pipe install. Didn't have any issues after just the Takeda install.

@@Goku1390. when a put test pipe the car felt extra bad lowend torque. I put the stock cats back next day must be tuned after those mods

I just recommend upgraded filters for this platform rather than intakes. For exhaust, I’m not familiar with what is available for the Qx or if others are compatible. You could always go a the custom route

Easiest way is just to google it man. There are so many different options and combinations. Everything will sound pretty good with factory cats, but if you go with test pipes, make sure whatever system you get has some nice resonators.

I actually like the muffler delete. Nice idle and tame for regular driving but aggressive in the highway. Anyway, I’ve never heard the rev9 in person but I think they sound ok online. Some people have had fitment issues, but they are easy to resolve.

@@SpeedCultureStudios i did some research and they are one of the best selling exle back systems at a very good price and good quality. Ill do a review once i install it.

@@tomaslopez4322 Did u ever did a review on the axel-back exhaust?

Good combo!

Motordyne 🤙

I have several custom exhaust videos

All test pipes will basically sound the same. Resonated help with drone a bit.

Try it!

Marcus Falden I honestly don’t know much about the MBRP exhaust. It looks like a decent setup. I could see where you would get drone with that system with just only a couple of resonators, but the design is nice overall. A full tune would get you some nice improvement over the jb4.

@@SpeedCultureStudios so when are you going full turbo or ls swap on that Q.

Marcus Falden Stay tuned! Just kidding lol

There are a ton of decent test pipes out there. No need to spend a ton of money, but don’t get Megan. Not worth doing without a tune. The car won’t run to its fullest potential and you get a CEL.

I got test pipes without tune right now i do feel The difference at freeways speeds but getting a tune soon

Will need to be the streetpower resonators. Something large enough to take down the rasp. Just a couple small resonators won't do much. Check out my video posted today. Perfect timing!

@@SpeedCultureStudios alright thanks alot man

As long as you like it, that’s all that matters!

Do you mean the two mufflers or the resonator, the piece in the middle?

@@jeanca0426 he took the piece in the middle out those are the resonators .I just did a muffler delete nd put some blue flame tips nd it sounds nice I kept my resonators

the flowmaster 40s are basically a baffled can so they are loud and raspy on the vq for sure. You could try the vibrant streetpower mufflers, they are straight through so perform very well, but they do great at absorbing rasp. Otherwise check out my SCS Custom Catback video.

Test pipes or remove the bigger mufflers on the exhaust. YOu'll just want to keep or have some decent resonators in the system no matter what you do.

Test pipes will make it loud and will give you some rasp too

What do you recommend? I wanna keep the sound just make it louder

@@Jderushia07 test pipes are only way to make it louder

Sounds like a decent combo.

You can cut the muffler off then add the flowfx resonators to each side and it’ll tone it down a little but sound better than stock

@@SpeedCultureStudios Ok ok, sorry to keep bugging you about it. I'm trying not to delete anything tho so I don't catch any tickets. Which should I do, just swap out the mufflers? or resonators? Or both?

Muffler delete will not help with performance at all. In fact, some notice a loss in torque with a muffler delete. Drop in filters will help with throttle response but go with aFe dry filters not K&N

Vibrant resonators with muffler delete and stock cats will sound fine. If you install test pipes, it will sound horrible.

@@SpeedCultureStudios im getting this tomorrow I already have resonated test pipes muffler delete and tomorrow im adding vibrant resonators and later some catback exhaust

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJtnZsurnJ2WkZc.html

I would just get a full custom catback. If you’re doing test pipes the car will benefit from the larger exhaust

Yeah pretty much

Test pipes with straight pipes sounds terrible. Adding resonated tips won’t change the sound at all in either case.

Yes muffler delete sounds nice with stock setup. No need for additional resonators

@@SpeedCultureStudios Ok cool, thanks alot I been watching your videos. So insightful. I was already thinking I'll just try muffler delete first. So for a muffler delete. Is it just chopping the muffler box out and keeping the exhaust tip? I do like the tips on my g37x 09. Do I just replace it with a pipe? Or get new mufflers that don't have the muffling part?

@@SpeedCultureStudios Ah, I looked it up. Yep cheapest mod ever. Just gona chop the muffler off haha thank you! I'll definitely have many more questions for you along the way. This'll be my first mod to my stock g and I plan on working on it for the next 10 years basically so 🙂 I'm forsure subscribed to your channel!

Thanks!! HFC with stock catback is a good combo. Should sound nice. WIll get you a slight power increase too if you tune.

Always nice to find a combo you like!

I wouldn't say it was by choice but it does the trick

I also forgot I have isr high flow kitties

Not really no. You could try to replace the factory resonators with some smaller versions.

What resonators do you have and how big are they?

@@SpeedCultureStudios So I bought the Ultra Vibrant Resonators 2.5

Start new man

Cool. Let us know how it sounds.

I just got the same exhaust put on this week. So far awesome no drone quiet when Crusin and opens up when you slam the gas.

Resonated test pipes if you don’t mind not being street legal. You’ll want more than just magnaflow resonators too. It’ll get super raspy

@@SpeedCultureStudios what do you think about resonated muffler delete 2.5 inch, 2.5 inch resonated test pipe, with stock resonators still in place?

@@jockbad If you don’t mind a ton of rasp it would be a high flowing setup. Testbpipes unlessh so much rasp in the VQ it’s crazy and just a couple of resonators are not going to handle it unfortunately

@@SpeedCultureStudios well it would be 6 resonators total, the stock ones, the ones on the test pipe and the ones that were put in place of the mufflers

@@SpeedCultureStudios but if it’s to much I’ll add a couple more 🤣

It’s not bad to take the old ones out. New, bigger ones will tone rasp down.

I wouldn’t buy any muffler from Infiniti.

3” single exit is great. That will produce nice results.

Speed Culture Studios I’m hoping so, I’m close too that soho also, how much is it for dyno time ?

Good system

With the same price add couple hundreds and get motordyne

I've heard mixed reviews. It's a little raspy. Some people have had fitment issues. If you plan to do a full catback eventually, I wouldn't waste your time with an axelback. Just have a shop cut your muffler off. It really actually doesn't sound that bad, and its a way cheaper temporary solution.

@@SpeedCultureStudios Thank you very much.

Glad you like it! Everyone has different tastes!

facts bro

Yes I had it retuned when I switch the exhaust. Made slightly more power but lost a few lbs of torque-as expected with the larger diameter. Check out the video

@@SpeedCultureStudios I will do that, which video exactly. I think I have watched all of em 3 or 4 times. I'm getting an ARK exhaust but they are not available yet. I almost went with a stillen, but decided against it cause of test pipes and headers. I know the headers won't make too much of a difference. Right?

@@TrueRedNatioNe4 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8l-hMZ709bGnaM.html

It would be great as long as you have stock cats.

@@SpeedCultureStudios Thanks for the reply! I do have stock cats! Would you recommend doing both or one over the other? Im also considering the beluga axle back as I love the sound! I just want deeper and louder but not too loud.

@@Depro900 if you’re keeping stock cats, a muffler delete makes the most sense. Keep some resonators so you don’t get rasp, but an axleback exhaust is just a waste of money honestly

@@SpeedCultureStudios I appreciate your knowledge!! I already ordered a beluga axle back unfortunately before I saw your reply but I am now considering pairing it with vibrant bottle style resonators or HIgh Flow Cats or both. Im keeping 2.5” throughout i just want more flow with volume but not too loud. My biggest concern is losing power with the axle back. Would you recommend the high flow vibrant resonators or HFC? Im still undecided if I want a tune. I have a 2012 G37x S btw. I really appreciate any help or advise!

@@Depro900 You won't lose power to the point you will feel it.

Yes. I had a similar setup for awhile. Totally different story when you go with test pipes!

The sports exhaust helps!

Most aftermarket axlebacks will be pretty raspy with a resonator delete. Just depends on what you like.

Depends on what else you have. Check out my custom catback video for ideas

@@SpeedCultureStudios i’m only doing a muffler delete and don’t know what size i need

I need help I recently bought a g37 s sedan im new to this exhaust stuff i heard about megan racing text pipes and straight piping what do you think i want it to sound nice and mid loud not so much but somethn! HELP

@@elchinitosnla5524 Don’t cheap out if you want quality sound, Get Z1 Resonated test pipes and get a Ark grip exhaust don’t straight pipe plz you will sound like a fart can

@@clearx3 yea thats the main thing i do not want to sound like a fart can hell nah but thanks bro and i wanna sound like mid loud not to loud will the Z1 resonated test pipes not to loud right.? Mybad im new to this

To get rid of cabin drone u have to tape up them covers on the fuel pump with gorilla tape .thank me later god bless the world

Muffler delete is cheapest and easiest!

@@SpeedCultureStudios no pipes needed? Sorry I'm know mate

@@hassanameen2774 not for a muffler delete. A shop will cut the muffler off and add some pipe in with your stock tips-or new tips if you buy some.

2.5 is the largest you should go. Without a tune, you will lose torque with a 2.5” system.

Speed Culture Studios does the location of the resonators make a difference and will I notice the change in torque?

islom rustamov Location of the resonators will make a difference in tone only. They will have no impact on power. Resonators are wide open and do not restrict flow.

Love the blacked out look!

Perfect!

i have this too and i love it! i live up north so its a bit droning near the winter months but i installed the HKS silencers on them and love that during winter.

Any drone?

@@nickhatje5771 very minor

Good luck in your search!

@@SpeedCultureStudios Ty bro! Finally got it! So excited to do things to this baby!

Don’t buy an axleback. Just do the muffler delete. No tune needed

@@SpeedCultureStudios won’t the drone be crazy with no muffler?

@@crunko9613 no there is almost no drone with a muffler delete. Catalytic converters are very strong mufflers

@@SpeedCultureStudios thank you!!

I didn’t know isr had 3”. The collectors are all 3”

Lol I think we covered it with your other comment! You’ll like the borla

Would not waste your money on the remark. For the same amount you can have everything connected with new exhaust pipe and have matching 2.5” It wouldn’t be too loud really but will be raspy the flowfx resonators help.

@@SpeedCultureStudios so what axle back would you suggest besides the remark, that would be cheaper and better

@@zxck1578 you don’t need an axleback. If you’re doing a borla, you might as well just do the full system like I said

I always prefer custom setups.

Stillen full exhaust system is perfect in my opinion there is no exhaust drone what so ever and there car is annoying when cruising but once you get up to 3k rpm holy she screams it’s just a perfect exhaust

The car isn’t annoying when cruising** is what I meant

@@cavz2158 k thx

@@cavz2158 should i get high flow resonated cats also?

That would be dope!

Don’t do a resonator delete. Sounds terrible.

Stock muffler really cuts it down. Simple muffler delete is good.

@@SpeedCultureStudios I had a g37 couple and I did a muffler delete on it and it was loud I want it half that noise or 75% of that noise quiet. Just a little vroom from the motor is enough for me

Awesome man!!

Glad to see another Q70 L driver checking in. We get no love out here lol

We did the same on my son's G37X last year, plus Berk HFCs. It's a good sounding system. The Borla was coming apart on the seams, sounds like a baffle came apart too, and they sent him a new one. Their warranty is great. He's wanting it a little louder and wants to remove the FlowFX resonators. I don't think it's a good idea.

I haven’t heard any reviews on it, but I like top speed stuff

Speed Culture Studios there’s a clip online by a guy named Nitish for a Top Speed g37 sedan, I think it sounds decent! Just wanted your opinion also

I have the top speed catback on my g35 sedan and it sounds AWESOME. The first couple weeks were a little quiet but I’ve had it on for about 6 months and it definitely opened up it sounds great and has a good price

check out my exhaust videos

Great shop!

Do you have test pipes?

Speed Culture Studios no

I seen a video on KZfaq some did a resonator delete it made good sound

Lol I’m not in that level yet haha I don’t know why so many people complain about the infotainment system anyway. Do you really use it that much? I haven’t even had the radio on in over a month let alone looked at any other screens.

Speed Culture Studios I mean I would really like to have functions. The stock one really sucks man compared to even my mothers RAV4. Its slow, basically all you can do is stream Bluetooth music to it, and even that has a 2 second delay when pausing and playing. There’s just not a lot of customization either. I would like to change the top screen to a different kind of clock but every time I turn it on I just see this basic analog clock that looks terrible. I would love to either have the naviks android auto plugin or the much more expensive Phoenix Mk3 that looks absolutely amazing. I would really like having an android unit in my Q50, it would be great to be able to use Google Maps, or open Spotify and browse music on the car itself. I imagine you probably enjoy driving your car and listening to the exhaust note which is why you don’t use the radio. But I like to cruise and be comfortable and I’m just not impressed with the function of this unit that comes stock.

@@jakepokemonman1227 I agree it SUCKS

It’s decent quality, but it’s expensive for an axleback.

@@SpeedCultureStudios decent eh? Id have thought better since its a nismo/Infiniti part...

Do not delete the resonators. It sounds terrible. Megan racing test pipes are the only ones I would NOT buy. Watch my other videos-I talk about all of this stuff in detail. You won’t be confused anymore

@@SpeedCultureStudios what should i do to my g37 s so it can sound clean ? Can you inform me pls

@@elchinitosnla5524 like I said-watch my exhaust video!

@@elchinitosnla5524 you could get an axel back exhaust, for starters, if you don’t want to buy a CBE right now

Sorry I missed this question! Check out my performance exhaust video! Resonators are linked!

Check out the SCS custom catback video!

@@SpeedCultureStudios ok ty

Yes. Several people have it. Might have to make adjustments for proper fit.

thanks man good to have your knowledge. Let me know what's next for inexpensive power so far just afe drop ins and axle back

Rev9 is great I have it on mine!

A lot of people like them.

I have a Motordyne Shockwave exhaust on my G37, it has 3" pipes, but I also have a Stillen Gen 2 cold air package and a Z1 upper intake. I got an Uprev dyno tune and made just over 320 hp to the back tires, which isn't bad since it only made 328 to the crank stock. I'm not sure about the torque, but all it wants to do is spin the tires anyway, the only tirs that tame it are Pirelli P Zeros.
