Top 5 Infiniti Q50/Q60 Exhausts

[@Rockcloud6]

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]

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.

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.

[@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.

[@TheBossGi]

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

[@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]

[@bobbymatthews9729]

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

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).

[@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]

[@maperformance]

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

[@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!

[@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]

[@thinkfast469]

[@JustDriftIt]

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

[@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.

[@TNEDRA]

Not 1 mention with fast intensions? They have the best quality product by far, and even have carbon fiber mufflers made in house to order. Still waiting for mine to be made

[@shad3128]

They lose a bit of popularity bc of the price and lead time. I got a soho and a stillen sent to me in a fraction of the time and price FI costs and their all pretty much identical on the dyno

[@wheelsbarrow9382]

Got it from a friend I trust without question.. the next day I opened the hood and couldn't believe it was really a twin turbo. And as much as I want to hear that engine roar. One of my favorite things about it is how quiet it is. Especially at idle. You can barely even tell the car is running. Lol, anyways.. what I'm trying to say is that my girlfriend definitely has some competition for my attention 😂

The Stillen exhaust sounds like crap on the 3.0 in person and the quality leaves alot to be desired. I cant believe you didn't include Fast Intentions.... I have the new 10 inch Sport Muffler non resonated with AMS lower downs and it sounds right on point. And there are a couple of options for tips, muffler size, x pipe options, carbon fiber mufflers and price is very affordable. On my Red Sport with out a tune it's got very low drone and it will pop and crackle at higher RPMs. Under bridges and tunnels and there is a touch of exoticness to it. Can't wait till I switch to full down pipes. Also Motordyne is a great 2nd choice if not a better choice. Those guys have been killing the nissan v6 exhaust game for year on the non turbo cars..

[@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
