Is Japan getting a different set up?JDM spec, not USDM
Displacement being equal, I generally prefer the sound of a I6 over a V6, but I haven't looked up any stock B58 exhaust videos to hear how it compares to this. I definitely hear a ton of engine noise and not enough exhaust in the video, but it is a Japanese model with stricter emissions.Sad to say but I think the Zupra sounds better...
Who knows.Is Japan getting a different set up?
JDM spec, not USDM
This. The US Performance trim cars will sound better than this, but nothing amazing. If you want amazing you need at least down pipes if not down pipes and cat back to really get the full hoorah out of the exhaust.Who knows.
We've seen a what should be a fairly vocal exhaust under a LHD Z on a car transport. And the muffler used on JDM Z's, that we've seen so far, have been the typical Calsonic that looks similar to the one used on the Infiniti coupe.
There is very likely some noise pollution regulations in Japan preventing Nissan from having a louder exhaust in the home market.
Just me speculating, the JDM cars are ridiculously quiet.
100% agreed. Just look at how much better the Q50/Q60 red sport sound with JUST a FI/ARK Exhaust and rest remaining stock.Nothing an aftermarket exhaust wont fix. Half of the people buying the Z will be upgrading these parts anyway
