Top 5 Infiniti Q50/Q60 Exhausts

You guys already know the drill! We're talking about our top 5 exhausts for the Infiniti Q50/Q60 platform! This car has a ton of potential, but part of waking this thing up from a luxury daily driver to living up to being the pubescent spawn of Godzilla is changing out the exhaust. In this video, we cover our top 5 and I save my personal favorite for last!!

Freshkicks q50 had the 3.7L paired with ark test pipes, misleading information

[@maperformance]

You are correct, we apologize for the oversight! We'll pin this one so people can see it. Thanks Pablo!

[@jdawg3631]

Motordyne Art test pipes*

[@shad3128]

Yeah you can do the q50 setups across the years but the q60 is on its own as far as catbacks because of the axleback section differing in length and hangar position et.

[@jdawg3631]

@@shad3128 yeah, I wouldn't put the 60 and 50 in the same video just because they are both different body types, but i also would also separate the 50s depending on year because 14-15 are the vq's and 16+ are vr's which make two different tones. If i were them I'd redo the video because there is quite of bit misleading information.

[@kingofkickass1]

Justin chang yeahh i was like that sounds like a vq

[@LadiesMan.217.]

I feel like people say this car is too basic and like every other ordinary sedan. & they don’t like how it’s design isn’t modern. To me I can’t say any of those things. This car is a beast and the design is so beautiful and the taillights make it stand out in the night.

[@oc174]

Said a true car guy 👏🏻

[@mitchelodeon]

Who tf says its not modern looking? Lol. It 100% is. The aggressive front and rear ends are exactly what modern platforms are striving to be.

[@mugensamurai]

Haters gonna hate.

[@Monkeydoge]

I think In design it’s not taking some of the design queues of current cars, but it’s just late to refresh. I think it’s got a good design made to hold up over time

[@rawalqayyum5128]

I dont know anyone that says the exterior looks bad. Ill go ahead and say the interior is fucking garbage and was my main turn off with this car.

[@TheBossGi]

The last clip JEEEEZZZ I want that one😍 neighbors are never quiet anyway

[@GuestGod48576]

Yes yes yes, build a q50 please. Im planning on getting one myself in a couple months and Id love to see what you guys do with yours

[@luistoribio716]

Hell yeah it's about time you guys added a Q50 shop car!!!

[@Reobtained]

The 3.0T platform needs at least a cat-back exhaust system and lower down pipes to sound as aggressive and loud as the final clip. Freshkiicks had Arks LDPs if I recall correctly which is why the tone is so aggressive, it was also the 3.7L not 3.0T. Absolutely do a VR30 build! Would be interesting to see how much power you guys can put down to the wheels.

[@drc8i080i8]

Tanabe is underrepresented here! Amazing JDM exhausts

[@AntonioPerez3005]

That really was saving the best for last 🥵

[@kellyhankins8002]

I’m glad I watched the whole video ☺️🤤

[@medihedayati9132]

I liked the ARK,you saved the best for last. But my second favourite is invidia for $900 is great value for money (bang for buck).

[@jonathanv7840]

no kidding i literally just subscribe to see the build of the q50 since i have a 2015 q50S AND would love to see this being build profecionally

[@maperformance]

Thanks for subbing! We are really hoping to get after it soon!

[@Only60GamesPlayed]

I like #1 and #4! You are tempting me!

[@acjjones2981]

Just found this channel, it’s pretty dope 👍🏾

[@jakefox3677]

Rev9 axle back the best cheap option in my opinion at around 300-350$ and sounds great without being to loud or having any drone

[@killerhaus2012]

The last one was amazing

[@katabalkadory8708]

Yes please build that beast

[@zen8111]

Just bought a q50 cuz of yall

[@bobbymatthews9729]

Ark Grip and Motordyne Shockwave are the best two exhausts out of every other brand on the market.

[@rmoore4yris]

I was very close to buying a q60 red sport.. really badass sedan! Hands down would pick the Invidia exhaust for the beast.

[@ayabeihere]

I think afe power has one of the best sounding CBE. Not too loud and not too quiet. You get that in-between and drone is very minimal.

[@etiangpatrick9809]

Number 5 stands out as the best of all

[@DEFENDFREEDOMNOTFEELINGS]

Yes a q50 build on the channel would be great

[@pavelrivera9342]

I just bought my q50 and this is a great video to get an idea of which exhaust to put

[@AdrianPerez-ps7rb]

Ur comment is from 2 years ago but did you get the ARK? 😨

[@JustDriftIt]

Do it! Especially with the new Z coming soon, perhaps getting an early jump on developing parts may not be a bad idea 😉

[@raysmith2080]

IVE BN LOOKING INTO GETTING ONE,,, SO YEAH DROP THAT BUILD,,,,, IM READY FOR IT

[@shortdog00100]

Yes go for it

[@brandonmalo2066]

YESSS Build that car up. I would love to see some MAP products for this car. Also wish you guys carried the HKS on your site, that is my favorite from the video.

[@maperformance]

Working on it!

[@midnightmediareview]

I must say I'm surprised the Tanabe Medallion didn't make the list. I absolutely love the sound it produces on the Q50/60

[@1012play]

Agree.....

[@boostjunkie2320]

I have the MBRP 3" catback dual exhaust and it sounds great

[@ryneagheilim9782]

That ARK is the top of the game for the exhaust. HUGE difference compared to the rest

[@savagesandwich8653]

The Q50 with the ark grip has a completely different engine than all the other cars on the list (3.7L na rather than the new 3.0L t) and has no catalytic converters. If you did the same to the others it would probably sound similar.

[@Bkzshowtimedagr8]

Yes sir Ark wins sheesh too loud lol I'd get in trouble

[@en00001]

nope motordyne >>>

[@angelbarreto8373]

Definitely gotta make a build series.

[@marcgrant8983]

Nice man!

[@nicholastrejo5649]

Great Video!!!!!

[@user-sq1ow2pz5d]

GREAT VIDEO

[@cmor7143]

Please do a q50 build 💚

[@jeproks88]

As always, very good content.. I have a q60 and exhaust will be one I am eyeing for, I am for Nvidia..,thank u guys!!

[@jz1607]

Fast Intentions took me 3 weeks to create and ship my CBE and LDP. Maybe they are fast now and I did not regret my choice. I go the touring resonated CBE + LDP and the sound is really amazing. Not loud but deep enough to be noticed.

[@mdog6726]

Same. I love it.

[@jsp5162]

Good video but need points of clarity with the 3.7 vs 3.0T, the exhaust notes sound very diff. Also, I have a 3.0t red sport with farts intentions lower dp’s with greddy evolution and it sounds great! Check out that combo.

[@frankrodriguez8520]

Excellent 🙏🏼❤️😍

[@mrcrxsi69]

build it. maybe even do a manual swap on a 4 door since its already been done on a coupe. just installed mbrp 3" exhaust and i have 2.5 full catless upper and lower dp's. huge difference in power.

[@stevenwpf1]

Come on do it! If it’s any good, I’m actually gonna pick up one next year

[@extraterestrial]

If it's any good? People are making 450 - 500 whp with simple bolt ons and a tune. A couple guys with upgraded turbos are making 700+ now with 800-1000 on the horizon with some mods coming out soon. It's definitely a sleeper

[@michaelgudger8076]

I like the last one

[@wolfpack9695]

Great video thanks for the info, I got the ARK for my Q - that baby makes some beautiful sounds.

[@maperformance]

Good choice!

[@romaineknight8359]

I have a 2017 q50S would love to see a nice build on this platform

[@maperformance]

Which one do you guys like the most?? Think we missed one?? Let us know down below!

[@ChineseMex530]

Got the Stillen w/carbon fiber tips on the way💪🏽🥶

[@alexleon8406]

Ark grip exhaust

[@GuestGod48576]

Ark grip all the way. In my opinion all the other ones, while beautiful in quality, weren't loud enough for me but my jaw dropped when I heard the ark. Dont care how much it costs, lord knows im gonna get my hands on one

[@TheOriginal_13U12N]

What about the Greddy Evo just around 1100 not to many video. Planning on that one for myself videos to follow once ordered and installed

[@fukers2stop]

crazy how motordyne never made the list or gt haus

[@evang2785]

That Would be awesome

[@user-sp7zg5xu9s]

I absolutely fell in love with the Ark when I saw this clip I'd gladly hand my car over to be toyed with by y'all

[@585DjLoVo]

Just purchased a 2021 q50 signature edition can’t wait great video...any recommendations in NJ area to get this stuff installed correctly

[@mtbwithjonnyb8818]

GT haus still my favorite .

[@laddiefromelius208]

Build that thing!

[@alexleon8406]

You should do a Q50 3.0 build

[@bucks4410]

I’ve ordered the ARK Grip Catback months ago and its barley gonna ship next week I’m shooo excited 😆

[@A2AQ50ptv]

Definitely do a build that’s what I’m doing also, but I have the mbrp exhaust and it is dynoed to put down the most numbers

[@Niko-sp1rf]

i’ve been thinking of that exhaust how is it?

[@kerberossynsyn329]

Love my q50 but i have the remark axleback with a 3.7L awd model and its super aggressive without drone especially at 4k plus rpm. Yeah it doest have performance of a full exhaust but has a much better sound than all of these other than the ARK wich is the god of exhausts for the q50. If you guys were to build one of these should deff build a 3.7L with the stillen supercharger and an ARK exhaust and takeda stage 2 air intake. Would be pushing about 600 HP alone just starting there! Cheers great video btw!

[@SeeThroughRey]

Would you still need an air intake if you have the exhaust tho?

[@eternalb3ing]

Build that q50!!!

[@johninnh4880]

Fast Intentions = Way to go!

[@domv2848]

yep Fast Intentions!

[@ricardop5325]

great video

Thanks for the visit!

[@ironbeastsociety2998]

The Stillen exhaust sounded, and looked the best.

[@ili.qfiddy]

I got the ARK GRiP on my car, I chose the non-resonated version. Best choice ever.

[@IMJUSTthatACE]

I got the resonated version. I bought it off a guy for 1100. Not to loud and still sound great

[@josephtro7141]

Yes peeeaaaaase do a q50 build

[@intuitiveinvestor4469]

I got a Stillen exhaust on my q50 redsport and it sounds SICK!!

[@clubvr30]

Custom 3 inch X Pipe FTW.

[@TheDarkmagic182]

Hussain at GoRacebox has a Q50 making 625wtq with ecoboost injectors on stock motor, turbo and trans

[@marshallelliott8894]

Would've like some drive bys. Especially that last beast....

[@squidmonkey940]

Reviving a dead comment section... The HKS is a true DUAL exhaust. There is a center connection for strength along the pipes, but no exchange of exhaust. I ran the same setup under the Hi-Power model on my 04 G35 that was planned to go twin turbo. That makes a difference when you add in the turbos. I went with this on my 18 Q60 RS and it was my first bolt on within two weeks of buying the car, I have a bit over 22K on it now and it's still what I know and love. Peace, love, and to Infiniti and BEYOND!

[@thebeginning1941]

I love to see a bulid Q60 build.

[@twinturboinfinitiq60az]

Fast Intentions will be my choice for my Q60 3.0TT. They have two sizes of mufflers and a option to make it resonated or just leave it non-resonated. Their CB are made once an order is placed and their quality is well known. Other great sounding CB for the Q60 3.0TT: Concept Z Performance made by Billy Boat Exhaust SoHo Motorsports in NC. They have a nice YT clip

[@datkidelmo]

I ordered the FI Full catted downpipes and the cat back exhaust with the sport mufflers..... I ordered them back in June and they are back ordered so I'm not getting them until November 🤣🤣🤣..... but I'm hoping they are worth the wait!

Any key differences to note in the sound between the Ark grip and FI?

[@mva5370]

@@user-bi2me1kj7pyea, ARK is ridiculously loud and FI is much tamer but the FI has a crazy drone if you’re too low in RPM

[@Chrizleyva]

The last clip of the ark exhaust is actually a 3.7 q50 which is why its louder. When added to a 3.0t its very quiet without downpipes. Motordyne or hks is my favorite exhaust for the 3.0t. I have a custom one on mine and wouldn't change it unless it was one of those 2.

[@josh4hunnind283]

does it make the car pop?

[@thinkfast469]

Are the Stillen 3" ?

[@infiniteblue895]

A twin turbo 3.0 for under 20k is crazy I need this car

[@Driftking305forlife]

Please do it get a Q50 and put all the mods into it. I am personally building my 2019 Q50RS AWD already have LSD, LDP, exhaust, ECUTEK Tune, HX and now I am saving up for Pure Turbos.

[@johninnh4880]

Marcus, if you put in turbos I strongly suggest, since the motor is out, adding a FRONT Quaife LSD since you will save big $ (I have a rear LSD too). I had the front LSD installed when I had the Pure Stage 2 turbos installed. HPFP, LPFP, Nostrum injectors, and new fuel rails too. AMS tuned for 91, 93, and 100 octane. I have the Fast Intentions full catted downpipes and CBE and naturally a AMS heat exchanger.

[@leonelmadrigal7023]

How about an fi exhaust? I know they work with exotics. Plus it has a silent mode and a loud mode.

[@nolanharrington5635]

This is all preference. Missed some good ones imo

I’m surprised the tomeii didn’t make the list that exhaust is beast u do have to look past ur q60/50 only having one exhaust tip but man is it worth it 🔥

[@Whips383]

Do you lose gains if you go with the single exit tomei over a standard dual?

[@calebpearson4]

Ngl I love the sound of the 3.7 more than the 3.0TT just off stocc motor and just exhaust

[@davidthur1858]

Just bought one would love to see a build.

[@reaper6766]

You should definitely do a red sport build. Stock turbos to 500 whp then replace transmission and turbos and keep going.

[@jonwinter7838]

This is my second Q50 RS400 (2016 and 2019). Obviously, I like the car. I don’t think there is another AWD car with this much power and Nissan’s reliability (shame on Toyota/Lexus and Honda/Acura - I feel both are more reliable, but short of an NSX, Honda doesn’t do power and you have to pay $90,000 for a Lexus with more power). However, since the day I got the 2016, I have always said 500hp would make this car a contender, especially now since BMW and the American muscle cars have all surpassed it in power and speed. The transmission has always seemed the weak spot when going over factory go/torque. Do you recommend a specific transmission? Thank you

[@josh4hunnind283]

Q50 luxe or sport could easily make that power before needing to upgrade to bigger turbos

[@draksonc]

that tomei is tempting tho

[@alexissullivan7947]

Most definitely please pretty please a Q 50 or a Q 60 hell even a Q 37 please build one and do it step-by-step that would be awesome

You need to have all cars completely stock for it to be a fair comparison. The last one, it was missing resonators, thats why its so loud
