If you put a borla cat back on a camaro it sounds great. BUt this engine setup is barely similar. I do not like that ricy sound but you are always going to get a lil bit of that with this type of car. The key is to set things up so its minimal but sounds better through the perfect product for your car. I am trying to do things the right way the first time so I am hoping people can point me to the right setup. I am planning on ordering my K&N intake within the next few days and want an exhaust that will match up to the Nissan Z's grunt ...if not better. The deaper sound when taking off sounds so nice. Thats what I am looking for because that is a realistic goal.

I honestly like my car for the price compared to 10k more for the cost of the Z. If you wanted to do 10k of upgrades to your car you would blow the Z away w/o a problem. But like I said - I know its not going to be the same but I want to match something in that direction and that gives people the picture of what I am thinking. Ya know?

i understand what your trying to say. but if you aren't matching the power you aren't going to match the sound. your best bet would be to get some custom piping with a borla muffler, or magnaflow exhaust system. they are known for deep tones and good exhausts. i would say 2.25 or 2.50 mendrel bent. don't bother getting if if it's crushed bent.

I thought exhaust shops angle the muffler tip because they don't want to work harder to properly bend the piping? That's what they did to my friend's Eclipse... it has an angled tip, and the guy told him it's because of the rear axle being in the way.

Like certain cars have it done that way. Subarus, eclipses, i've seen some civic bubbles with it, i think it looks pretty nice. So iam looking for one like that but i dont know if anyone makes them. I seen one no-namer on e-bay for like 180 but i don't trust e-bay.

Yeah, that's not a function of the muffler itself. It's just how the piping was run. Exaust piping should be as smooth as possible, avioiding a lot of turns and especially high angle bends. That was probably the best way to route the exaust because of the AWD.
If you get your exaust custom fabbed at a shop they'll be able to have it exit at whatever angle you want. Make sure they mandrel bend the tubing and its not crush bent, or you are defeating the purpose of a larger exaust.
good luck

they are claiming "Increase 10-15 HP with smooth & deep sound" from an axleback

Maybe it's just me, but would hooking up an exhaust like the huge hooker system I had on my Camaro give a deep sound? If the chamber in the muffler is big, IE: 3ft by 1 ft by at least 8in. , would it give a deep sound? I think it might, if the sound can echo and bounch around inside a big muffler, don't you have a better chance of it sounding low and growl like?

Exaust "tone" isn't dictated by the exaust as much as it is by the motor itself. It is damn near impossible to make a NA 4 cyl sound like a turbo 4 cyl or an eight cyl. Exaust note can be tuned but it can't be completly transfomed.
Sorry, but it's matter of phyics.

any exhaust will sound pretty damn good on the tC.. its a 2.4 so it has a little bit more displacemtnet then your typical 4 banger...once you get a header.. you can forget about it...b/c it will sound like ___...i am about to take mine off b.c the sound doesnt warrant the power it makes which in minimal....

I dont know i like the look of an angled exhaust, like a firball type. But at the same time i dont want it to look too extreme. I love the way that dual one looks, but then you have to worry about bodywork to cut the bumper. Trd sounds good, but i dunno.
