Question says it all,, is there anyone how tried runnin their g37 straigth pipe or just without muffler? thought it would be a good idea since th VQ has a so magnificient sound

tell me what you think !

 

lol sounds like sh*t with straight pipes.

 

+1 it does sounds disgusting. The vq sound you're referring to is a resonated, muffled, restricted sound.

 

Putting aside the illegality of doing it for street use, the noise that would wake up the dead, and of course the environmental issues, I can’t see why you think this would be a good idea.

 

+1 on that one, trust me ive heard strait pipe on a vq and wow, crazy loud , like loud for nooooo reason loud. I could hear his car like a mile away, SUPER anoying, unless thats REALLY want u want dont do it!!!!

 

yeah super loud and ricey haha

 

I had no muffler on it for 2 days because i was changing my axleback and whatever but it sounded pretty good a little raspy but good.

 

My friend is running a 2.75" custom straight pipe on his 350z.. It is too loud and obnoxious.

It's fairly annoying.. And makes his car look cheap also.

 

Trust me.. listen to all these people.. I have had my entire cat back off since last wednesday because I was switching from Invidia to Ark. I was just running HFC.. I only drove my car from my friends house to mine and im driving it back there tonight to put the ark on.. my whole car shakes, I have no power, everyone yells at me.. its bad news.. sounds ricy and loud!!!!!

 

Mufflers and environmental issues? Wat?

 

You don’t think that removing the catalytic converter befouls the air somewhat?

 

The OP said muffler. And I don't have cats, so I know haha.

 

Not to get stuck on semantics, the OP was asking about two options; one defined as straight pipe which I took to mean without both a muffler and catalytic converter, and the other with just the muffler removed.

As far as your running without a catalytic converter, you alone will have to decide if you meet the requirements of a good, law abiding citizen or not.

 

I removed the mufflers, its sound very good and deep but I wont do it again, Too loud for my taste

 

I didn't thought about runnng straight without the catalic converters, just removing the muffler,,

I've tried it for 2 days hehe, sounds very loud.... if you just drive it smooth, sound is loud but same great sound that we know form our stock muffler just louder

the big difference is when you hit it at WOT, sounds very metallic (like a very very loud bmw m3 e46)

conclusion, very very loud when accelerating , but on the highway no sound at all, cruising , almost no sound, big difference is at WOT... there is a drone when starting up, but none on the highway and while cruising... car feels like there was less power because the sound is so loud when accelerating in my opinion
