V35 Aftermarket Muffler

[DG35]

Hey guys

I was just wondering if anyone was selling an aftermarket muffler for an 03 v35 coupe. Also if anyone has purchased one or is looking into one, some links or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks Nesh

You didn't want to go for a Cat back?

I would love too sean but i'm a bit short on funds, so probably settle with just the muffler. I'm just looking for a more aggressive and louder sounds.

i'm purchasing this exhaust very soon - http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=4400&Car_Type=G35&UID=20120712194828203.161.143.177

Only thing is shipping is an extra $395.

That is probably one of the cheapest & best quality catback's you'll find it's a HKS replica the only issue is the fitment is slightly off which means you'll need a shop to bend the pipes & fit it. Also the gaskets are meant to be shit so just order the OEM ones they're good.

I don't think a cheap muffler will really do a good job.

Wow awesome find, thats a great price.Damn $395, that's almost the price of the exhaust, there has to be a cheaper alternative to ship it. Thank for the link I might purchase it as well. I found this pretty dodgy cat back on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-08-G35-COUPE-350Z-STAINLESS-GT-DUAL-EXHAUST-CATBACK-BURNT-TIP-/120949116677?fits=Model:G35&hash=item1c29210f05&item=120949116677&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr#ht_8456wt_1347 , not expecting much/any power gains but it should give the exhaust note a much deeper tone and especially interested since the price , what do you reckon.

Yeah it's ridiculous. Basically u can pay $400 for a replica made of the same materials as the actualy HKS which is upwards of $1,700. PLUS shipping.

Oh trust me, i emailed the website at least 4 times asking for a better shipping price and they wouldn't budge.

I personally wouldn't trust anything that's off ebay + isn't branded. That shipping price is waaaay too cheap too i don't know why. Up to you, but this replica HKS is basically going to have the same gains as the real HKS.

ive seen what ebay no-brand mufflers are like... and you get what you pay for.

too risky for the $$ if you ask me. the only bits that could be as good might be the external shiny bits, with poor internals (as i bought once before), using thinner metals that show as cheap freight cost...

[Seano350GT]

Nailed it ^

Thanks Nate, i've just emailed them and will get back to you.

A mate of mine bought that shit HKS wannabe exhaust, but sounds nothing like the HKS, and everyone think it sound more like a truck. and a damn loud one too. I'm selling a brand new Jic-Magic for $1200. Never installed as I went for another installation. The magic sound nice and not very loud that will attract police attention. Check it out: http://www.jic-magic.co.jp/de-type2.html. That's the cost I bought it for which doesn't include the shipping cost from Japan. Pm me if you are interested.

I'll sell mine later this year.

If you're on a budget, why don't you just get HFC instead of a CBE or muffler?
