Infiniti Q60 RedSport400 stock exhaust vs Fast Intentions sport exhaust and lower down pipes W/ Dyno

Here is a sound and dyno comparison of the Q60 stock vs Fast intentions lower down pipes and cat back exhaust. Enjoy!

[@buffalop32acdm23]

Q60 is underrated and so beautiful!

[@west33k]

I 100% agree. still to this day have people at the gas station admiring it and asking what it is. powerful engine and good looks for sure

[@harpreetsahi8307]

[@markb1511]

Thanks for the video. Quick to the point, clear and concise. The new exhaust sounds fantastic.

[@Come-What-May]

Car manufacturers love to advertise their big HP numbers, but a lot of people fail to realize those numbers are almost always BHP, not RWHP. The Fast Intention set-up definitely gave you your moneys worth.

[@liob-t429]

Nice!!!! The Q60 IS TRULY UNDERRATED MAN!! I was going for the Audi S5.... had my appointment with a dealer and all and saw a 2018 redsport... The S5 was suddenly ugly!! lol.... Got a link for the new pipes you installed? I still got my stocks on...and looking for some roar but not raspy, this was perfect man!!

[@Lord_Pilaf]

S5 was my second choice as well but i'm glad I went with the Q60!

[@NoelVQ]

This q60 sounds good. I just wish they would bring the 3.5 back😢 that one sounded the best

[@shouv]

It's such a beautiful car. But the 37s coupe exhaust shits all over this one ... I have just a Rtp on my stock setup and imho it sounds sublime.

[@CarsonsEscape]

Nice vid brah 👍

[@benitolouis1594]

All they had to do was change the infotainment system add ambient lighting digital speedometer and heads up display and it would of been perfect

[@west33k]

I 100% agree. Those plus the lack of decent exhaust note were my exact complaints. I hope the next version of this car if they make it changes that.

[@jaceksky4064]

Great i have q60s twin Turbo AWD Black

[@DaneFerolin]

Sounds great

[@west33k]

Dane Ferolin Thanks a bunch! I feel like it sounds even better over time. Very happy with it!!!

[@DaneFerolin]

@@west33k my q50 is stock, but I'm definitely leaning towards this exhaust

[@brianm4831]

I like the sound man. My main concern is with droning. Glad you confirmed there is none. I wonder if that would be the case is you went with the non resonated version. I cant decide b/t res and non res.

[@west33k]

Brian McGuire thanks a lot man. I feel like the sound is even better over time. I can’t confirm about the non-resonated version but I’m sure it has slightly more drone. If I wasn’t adding the LDPs I would have gone non-resonated but the LDPs and resonated CBE was a perfect combo IMO. Resonated without the LDP was a bit to quiet for me.

[@oscarloera8531]

So you got the 14 " but with the resonated x pipe ? Cause I read the 10 " sport muffler comes non resonated while the 14" touring muffler does come resonated

[@west33k]

Oscar Loera no I have the 10 in sport mufflers with the Resonated X-pipe. They are separate so you can get them with either setup. At least on FI website you can. I think what your referring to is 14” being the size of the resonators.

[@brianm4831]

@@west33k Ordered the AMS LDP and FI CBE w/resonated xpipe and 14" touring mufflers thanks to this video. Unfortunately I'm still waiting for it, been 4 months now.......I'm dying here! Thanks again for the vid.

[@johnny_casual]

fuck that sounds amazing

[@Nontoxic6]

Video of cabin noise always wanted to know what the 10” would sound like with the resonator and down pipes same setup I want

[@bigdogstreetperformance6761]

Were you a little heat soaked when you did the stock dyno run? I have a 2016 Red Sport Q50 and my stock dyno numbers were 375RWHP and 360RWTQ. You mentioned you live in Florida, so that might have a little to do with it as well....

[@west33k]

Big Dog Street Performance I don’t think so because I was very easy on the car the short drive to the dyno. I was expecting more after seeing other RedSports pulling similar numbers like yours but I would assume it’s due to the Florida heat and humidity. When it’s colder during winter the car feels much more powerful to me. Maybe I’ll do another dyno. Alpha HE and a tune is coming before next summer!!!

[@CallMeEddie420]

Are the FI lower down pipes resonated also? I’m on the verge of purchasing this same setup but just wanted to know if drone was an issue or not. I’m sold on the sound though for sure!

[@west33k]

Lalo GTX no, the LDP are not resonated. It does remove the second set of cats which adds a deeper tone. I have had absolutely zero issues and no CEL. The is very little to no drone whatsoever at cruising speeds but opens up under acceleration. I was very concerned about it myself but am very happy with the result

[@CallMeEddie420]

blake west okay awesome. I have Megan LDP’s in my garage so hopefully it’s the same result as you have.

[@oscarloera8531]

Nice , cause I just ordered FI cbe with the 14 " muffler but with the x pipe non res but I have the ams 3 " in downpipes . Hopefully it doesn't so to loud or much rasp cause this setup is perfect

[@zzabrisk]

Ah I have been looking for a good sounding exhaust for my 3.0t! I feel like this is exactly what I'm looking for without all the gaudiness, just a solid upgrade, it seems. It sounds beautiful, excellent job! Is there a comparable kit for the 3.0t? I'm headed to FI right now...

[@west33k]

zzabrisk hey thanks a lot. I debated for a while and had all the same concerns as many others but turned out very happy with this set up. I’m sure you will love it. As far as other set ups, I’ve seen many people talk about HKS, Stillen, Ark, MBRP and a couple others but FI suited my preference the most

[@michealwoods6965]

A huge difference sounds amazing. What year is the car?

[@west33k]

Micheal Woods Thanks man, Well worth the upgrade in my opinion! Stock sounds like a vacuum cleaner. Mine is a 2018 RS. Should sound the same for 2017-2020.

[@west33k]

Micheal Woods RWD, I just put on some Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. For anyone who goes RWD it’s night and day over stock.

[@aeroman5239]

@@west33k You next mod should be a rear LSD, as the stock rear diff is open (one-wheel). I'd recommend the AMS Performance Wavetech LSD: www.amsperformance.com/cart/wavetrac-limited-slip-rear-differential-r190-q50-q60-lsd/

[@west33k]

Aero Man It is interesting that you say that. I just installed the HKS BOV and was looking into the AMS HE, the Z1 LSD and Ecutek tune as my next upgrade. I diddnt known AMS had a rear so I will def look into that thank you! This open dif is no fun.

[@jromi961]

I Know this video is older and I’m clueless with cars lol, if i wanted this exact set up what do I “look for “ or purchase 😅 .. thank you!

[@keckers35]

Any sound clips from the interior? No rasp or drone i assume?

[@west33k]

Interior noise was a concern of mine too and these are perfect for me. On the highway you can barely even hear it at all, no drone when cruising. The LDP's add a bit of a deeper tone and volume which is perfect IMO. This is a $2K high quality kit so rasp isn't an issue either.

[@wreckingballsc]

Sounds great 👍 thanks for a proper exhaust video!!

[@TommyGTime]

Are the tips adjustable so they don’t stick out past the rear diffuser like yours?

[@west33k]

Negative. They stick out about 1/2 Inch from the rear and a smidge more when warmed up. Looks cool IMO, but be aware, if your leg touches it when hot you will be scorched and that’s not a good time. Enjoy!

[@TommyGTime]

@@west33k ahhh that’s a bummer! I’m not a fan of that look and prefer for the tips to be flush.

[@k-a147]

Oh yuh 👌🏼👍🏼

[@vrarty6089]

Is that with down pipes as well?

[@west33k]

yes, the sound clips and dyno are with the FI lower down pipes and exhaust. The sound was decent with just the exhaust installed but the LDPs made it a little louder and deeper which was much better in my opinion.

[@krithiksingh]

u installed these parts urself?

[@elderlycoffee]

Still running stock tune? Any cel?

[@west33k]

Andy Adamek yes stock tune so far although that may to change soon. Car runs great and no CEL at all

[@NinjAsaya]

Q60 is the same thing as the Q50 but coupe right?

[@west33k]

I believe so. Should be the same engine and drivetrain. Coupe vs Sedan

[@gabriellimun6717]

380 hp from ldp, exhaust and no tune???

[@west33k]

Correct

[@jz1607]

I have Q60 Premium 3.0T AWD with FI LDP and CBE + JB4 (Map 2), car does 0-60 in 4.1 seconds.

[@NinjAsaya]

Also, aren't the Redsport 400hp with something similar in torque stock?

[@west33k]

Yes they are 400Hp stock to the crank (the engine) however typical RWD cars lose an average of 15% HP when the power is transferred through the drivetrain to the wheels as calculated on a dyno. So 400hp minus 15% = 340 HP to the Wheels.

[@NinjAsaya]

@@west33k Ah, that make a lot of sense! Thank you for the quick and informative reply! Do you happen to know how much AWD lose in comparison to RWD?

[@west33k]

@@NinjAsaya AWD has more components so the parasitic loss is typically a bit more (around 20%) but more grip to all wheels can be more useful at times.

C. R. B. Thanks man, it’s worth it IMO. I actually grew up in Jax but I’m in the panhandle now. I still go back from time to time. When I was there I use to dyno my cars at a place called Stage 6. I’ve seen stock Q60s put up even higher #s than mine.

[@c.r.b.6971]

Thanks Blake I found it and it sounds great for just about anything I want to mod on the Q6. I’ve been very curios about the hp it seems to be pretty fast for a stock car. On this car I’d like to keep it as quite as possible but I still want the performance so it will take some research.

yea ive debated it because a few people have asked but they are so damn expensive from the manufacturer its hard to justify getting rid of them in the one off situation i might need them for something.

[@3ddominic764]

Kevin Kester look up the specs on a Q60 red sport. 400hp and 350 lbft tq stock. Shows how much you know

[@west33k]

Dominic Duenas The 400hp and 350TQ numbers Infiniti claims is rated at the crank (engine). The dyno numbers I have are at the wheels. There is typically a 15-20% parasitic drivetrain loss between these numbers. My car puts 380+ to the wheels so its more like 440-460hp at the crank. This is 100% absolutely a RedSport

[@windblower5]

@@3ddominic764 oh I know. And it shows how much you know. Let me educate you a bit. One easy tale sign on the video that it is a redsport is when he open the door. See the red color? Only redsport have that color option. I say that because his rear badge have No red "S". Second, from the video, the red "s"badge along with the red caliper akebono brakes. I was about to buy a q60 redsport fully loaded with all the accessories in white exterior, but I didn't. I am saving my cash for medical school. My friend who is a master mechanic in Infiniti did loaned me his q60 redsport red exterior and red interior fully loaded including all the accessories (Infiniti/alpha intake, heat exchangers, side tanks, front dual tanks, and e.t.c) and MBRP catback with Alpha full downpipes when he bought me the Infiniti heat exchanger and installed it.

[@windblower5]

@@west33k am I right ^ ?? How is the sound after fully warmed? Is it tolerable city driving? I mean I heard there is no drone this setup. For my setup, I have a alpha downpipe and remark muffler delete (sound in my video) and I am about to take off my remark muffler delete and sell it. I don't see q50 or q60 videos on agency power or ark grip exhaust with alpha downpipe, so I will get either one of those. I want to help the Infiniti community how it sounds like.
