Definitely needs a full 2.5in or a 3in exhaust to let the car breathe a bit more. Might sound a bit louder at idle too

[@jaycevessier7554]

Dude these guys don’t know shit about exhaust, they just straight pipe shit and thinks it’s cool.

[@trdadam2325]

hell at this point 2.25" would let it breath! 😆

[@biniamsamson1602]

3 inch with Y pipe and downpipes

[@thynysan]

​@@biniamsamson1602 unless it has 500hp 3" would be too much. 2.5 would be perfect for a 400hp car.

[@biniamsamson1602]

@@thynysan lol bro I had an exhaust leak due to my y back being 2.5 in. It’ll breathe better and for a tune it’s at max efficiency. Also I got the same motor

I love that it's a 2023 but they didnt go over the top with the styling. Its clean and simplistic.

That actually sounded better than I expected...good start! Now save up for a proper catback system & a pair of RHFCs!

[@Jeff_S...]

I duno what it is. Nissan has some magical formula that makes V6s sound great, almost like higher pitched V12.

[@IPL_VIC]

@@Jeff_S... that’s such a great compliment. Just put a 3 inch exhaust on my Infiniti and it does have a small v12 tone to it 😅

The twin turbos really help the sound of the six cylinder engine. Not as raspy.

[@Fo20zone3]

Rasp =???

[@isnowyazn]

@@Fo20zone3Maybe not on this current exhaust setup, but V6’s are notorious for raspy ass exhaust setups when cats are removed.

How the accord 2.0s are I straight piped mine and doesn't even sound like your average 4 cylinder honda thanks to the turbo

I have 3.5 inch full exhaust looool, sounds deep. Inline for the win!

[@chiarac3833]

Way better than I expected. I actually like it. A little bit of bite but not so much to attract the wrong type of attention. Black on black too, exactly how I buy them. All the best with it and post updates as you mod please.

[@tylereg4764]

Definitely sounds better than stock, props to the driver for getting the 6MT as well

[@none-sb8lt]

Needs at least 2.5 pipe all the way back. But sounds great love the channel. Built my hemi 5.7 exhaust based off of your videos.

[@christopherdaniel2747]

No it doesn't. There's a reason it comes from factory with the size it does and keeping it that size but removing the mufflers and up-ing the axle back size is what makes the car sound as good as it does. If you think it sounds good on camera it sounds 100 times better in person.

[@somebody2409]

​@@christopherdaniel2747 Disagree. Let's check the piping size again when the nismo comes out. The bigger the diameter, the better for the turbos.

[@Cle_M3]

@@christopherdaniel2747 False the turbo already supplies enough back pressure, the faster the air moves out the exhaust the better. It comes factory like that for emissions.

[@dainironfoot102]

Sounds pretty good. Turbos are great mufflers!

Such a damn good looking car. Especially considering they can still be bought with a 6MT.

[@ItsTooRisky]

Can never beat the 3.7 sound! Glorious trumpets 🎺

[@2seep]

Of course you can. The vr30ddtt sounds like a GTR with the v6 rumble with a borla exhaust and full downpipes. Every other exhaust sounds shit.

[@SeraVend]

Technically it's not a 400z since the number in the model refers to the displacement (240z is a 2.4 L24, 260z is a 2.6 L26, 280z+zx are a 2.8 L28, 300zx are 3.0 VG30 etc etc) so it's really a 300z.

[@sebastianb5997]

tbh it might just be me but that engine does not rev very fast just looking at it on the gauges and hearing it. Prob would benefit from high performance light flywheel

[@michaelnoble9914]

That is almost perfect sounding! I would only bump the piping up to 2” and run it exactly the same way

Gotta swap that tiny piping out for 2.5" piping. More power especially out of twin turbos.

I'm glad you guys are growing as a channel. You guys have come a long way.

[@shad3128]

As long as you keep resonated downpipes on these, theyll sound fine with a full turboback. Will sound god awful with no resonators between the downpipe and midpipe though. A set of lower downs and an axleback sounds great on these

[@finklesteenDK420]

Much better than the catback sound

You can't call it a 400z because it doesn't have a 4 litre engine. 240z had a 2.4, 280 had a 2.8l, 300 had a 3l, 350 had 3.5l, 370 had a 3.7l. This car has a 3l

[@jbuelman2025]

Almost the same exhaust as the 370. Restrictive 1.75 pipes like mine had. I put a 2.5 inch dual system with an x pipe and gained 20hp before I got it dyno tuned. So much potential with this car to really wake it up, but too much money for the little bit of power gain stock over the 370. I hate seeing these cars called 400Z. Thankfully Nissan dumped the number or this one would actually be a modern 300Z...

I’m wondering, would an xpipe type design be beneficial to a turbo car? H and X type exhausts is meant to scavenge exhaust pulse on 2 bank engines. I would think turbos would need a free flowing exhaust.

[@oldschoolmobile]

A turbo car like this needs nothing besides a good flowing size of pipe. I'd bet a dual 2.75-3" system with small resonators would be perfect. A crossover pipe doesn't benefit these modern V6 engines in any way as they are even firing, ie; LRLRLR, not like a crossplane V8 as you're thinking of.
