Cutting Open the Muffler...
Folks.
I've several different exhausts, dont like ANY of them b/c they change the "tone" of the G37 coupe exhaust. My only goal is to turn the volume up on the exhaust and KEEP the exhaust tone as-is.
I came across this article from a few years back. I have a friend who has a welder so cutting it out and welding it back is not a big deal. Its a no-cost option that wont be much of a risk.

Curios if anyone has attempted to try this exhaust mod?
Obviously I'll be doing things "in balance" so that the exhaust is not out of balance by making a mod on one side and not the same mod on the other side of the exhaust.
But my 2 thoughts would be to: 1) cut out the "J-shaped" sections of the muffler and/or 2) perforate the small thin tube at the bottom.
Curious what others would think and what would you try?

Been there done that. Would attract too many neighbors complaints and blue/white lights b/c its too loud. I've tried it but its too loud. Wife would never ride in my car again (nor would I )
Only option I'm interested (for now) is this option. Want to see if anyone has done or thought of anything similar.

So I found this post on the 370Z forum. What is interesting is the cross-pipe he fabricated that eliminates the drone from his end.

So that leads me to believe that its best to leave alone the small-cross pipe on the end/bottom that is shown in the picture. I'm guessing that cross-pipe is a possible source of eliminating any drone from the stock muffler on the G37. So that may make me not want to try option #2.
