When I had my 370Z dyno tuned it turned out that the stock ECU was programmed to run very lean below 3K rpm and rich at the top end. I could see any flow improvements on the VQ engine exacerbating the lean condition at low to mid rpms and causing a decrease in torque. I'm of the opinion that any decrease in backpressure is a good thing, as long as a good fuel/air ratio can be maintained across the rev range. In the old days, I used t do things like rejetting or drilling out the jets in the carbs to tune the engines but today it's all about the computers.
I'm with you man. These computers are so sensitive, any little change can throw things off.
Just got a lil 2013 g37 coupe. So much information on this Channel!
Nice car! I appreciate you stopping by. I've tried to cover a wide variety of topics that pertain to this platform!
I belive one of the most limiting parts of the VQ's power is the exhaust system so if you want more power, exhaust is the way to go
According to Fast Intentions, deleting or going with the shorter than standard resonator lengths on their cat back systems doesn't increase power appreciably but mostly increases noise levels. This makes sense to me, as the resonators are basically straight pipes with just pipe perforations that are not going to influence gas flow that much, as opposed to a baffled muffler system.
BTW: the muffler delete on the Q50 does sound good, and for a good price.
That's right. As long as you aren't using resonators in your system like Cherry Bombs that have the louvers inside, you shouldn't see a difference in performance from small to large resonators.
Nice on the VR30DDTT, I have full 3 inch downpipes and MBRP 3inch exhaust and it sounds horrible. I completely agree keep the resonators.
I left my exhaust stock other than an aftermarket Y pipe. Got some nice power gain and ZERO extra sound for those not wanting to increase volume.
My car came with a muffler delete , I actually get pops sometimes,get a lot of compliments as well. Love the vid , Happy holidays 🎉
Awesome! Yeah definitely can get some random pops here and there with a muffler delete.
I had muffler delete & it sounds really good but I now have high flow cats & full cat-back aftermarket exhaust & it sounds just as good but the sound is more refined
A full catback will definitely get you a more refined note. Just gotta spend a bit more money
@@SpeedCultureStudios Yes it wasn't cheap at all
For the 2015 at least you definitely see a noticeable loss of torque but also noticeable increase in power on the top end
Yep
I’m surprised just a muffler delete does that much
Muffler delete, one of the first things I did on my G37 coupe. Did it so fast not sure what I lost, but it doesn’t feel as peppy off the line for sure. I’m considering putting Vibrant resonators on it and calling it a day. But may be too much free flow once again. If someone has the same setup, I’d like to hear it.
muffler delete doesn’t affect it in anyway, i don’t understand why people think this.. it’s only placebo effect because you sound like you should be faster than what you’re used to not hearing!
Worth it if you’re leaving the cats alone. Otherwise it sounds bad😅
Exactly!
muffler delete with pipes out the back was probably my favorite exhaust noise out of mine. i have Fast Intentions 2.5" now and i don't think it sounds better than the muffler delete
I have exactly that stock exhaust then added 1320 y pipe and resonated rev 9 axle back
Good combo
Hey vq guys, i just wanted to share that this is my favorite engine ever, but ever since I got my g37, ive been getting speeding tickets. Can we petition all roads require a speeding lane so this stops happening?
When I first got my 2012 g37 sedan I did a muffler delete sounded great, then I threw on berk hfc still sounded pretty good. After that I did an isr y pipe and let me tell you after that it sounded like complete dog shit lol. So I went with a borla resonator single 3 inch in to a dual 2.5 inch out no muffler and it sounds fire 🔥 zero rasp does have some drone but I love how it sounds!
I have the Rev 9 axel back it sounds decent
So the ISR Y pipe 3 inch is bad ? No more than 2.5 inch ? I appreciate it man have a Happy new year
3” isn’t necessary on the 3.7. It’ll result in a lower torque number.
Just got the borla pro xs midpipe installed on my g35x sedan. Didn’t notice much of a difference would you recommend the flow fx or a muffler delete and than continue with your recommended tips. Would appreciate your expertise. I want a clean non raspy sound.
You wouldn't notice a difference if you kept your factory muffler. My boral setup is a complete catback designed for cars with test pipes. If you have stock cats or keep your factory muffler, adding the borla or other resonators will just make it quieter. Since you've already installed it, I would just do a muffler delete now. Do you still have stock cats?
bro i saw ur youtube short yesterday and I instantly went and impulsively got a muffy d today lmao i dont regret it tbh
😂 I love it!
im thinking of doing the borla muffler and then vibrant mufflers out the back instead of the flow fx, im currently on a muffler delete and after nearly two years with it i hate the raspyish higher rpm while acclerating ,its my daily
thinking of doing this too
Love your videos man 🔥 I went with muffler delete on my 3.7, do you have a link for the 1320 y pipe you mentioned?
It’s not bad, unless you’re going to do a full catback eventually then I would just skip it
Yo speed when u gonna get the red sport bumper 2018+ that’s all ur missing
how can i make my exhaust louder without losing any power
To ensure no loss of torque--you'll have to tune the car.
Infiniti Helmholtz style axle back OEM (B0100-Q50S2) seem a good option
Great 🤘
Where can I find this wide pipe ?
Great video its been a while since I do anything in my Q50 but now I'm planning to buy the PLM axle back exhaust muffler delete you think PLM is good
I have no experience with PLM, but if it's just an axle back, then fit will be the main thing.
@@SpeedCultureStudios oh ok yeah it's just axle back muffler delete im just hoping that I don't be disappointed lol 😅 for 275 bucks at first I was gonna do your set up SCS but some part are sold out or price is change
@@tonytieu68 I'll have to go check some links. Parts sell out quick so hard to keep them updated!
@@SpeedCultureStudios yeah you should when you got time 👍
@@tonytieu68 Links looked good
Wouldn’t you fail inspection test with no muffler?
Depends on the state.
What about the 3.0t?!?
I'm not a fan of the 3.0t with a muffler delete, but many people do like it. It's still an inexpensive option to get a little more volume out of your car.
@@SpeedCultureStudios so what would you recommend instead of the muffler delete? Love the content man you explain a lot but I feel like you skip out on the 3.0t a lot so trying to help others in my platform as well.
@@richardsiss5838 The 3.0t needs a complete catback system with good resonators to bring the tone down and refine it a bit. I have a 3.0t dedicated Catback video. I don’t skip the 3.0t, I just don’t have one, so I don’t make recommendations for things I have not done personally.
Hey, I am in the market for a Q50 I came across two different 2015 Q50's both being almost identical aside from one being Awd and the other Rwd. Which one would overall be a better bang for the buck?
It’s really personal preference. Check out my awd vs RWD video.
