It has potential. Going to sound really good with a turbo-back exhaust.

The potential is definitely there, seems like it can be both a gentleman cruiser and a loud monster. I'm curious how high they got when they revved both cars up in the video.

Here's another video that shows the Z's engine firing up, scroll to 11:54 to listen.

I really hope powerhouse Amuse make an r1 titanium for this. It will sound nice with a good exhaust. And because you go dual exit it can be decent on the highways without too much drone etc.

Sounds like a smoother VQ with turbo noise. I think it has potential but from factory definitely sounds too quiet. I wouldn't want a loud exhaust but something a bit more. Hopefully it sounds great inside under load.

Isn't this the "performance exhaust" of the pricier trim? If so, massive disappointment. Yes, aftermarket will easily address this, which I would use as always, but let's be honest. This is a "feature" of the performance trim, to add value to it no? But it's underwhelming to me at least.

Yeah this is the dual exhaust with Performance grade muffler that's on the higher trim. I wonder if it's just the sound quality of the first videos becase in this one from Motor1 it sounds much better.

I'll be swapping intakes on my Z to get a bit more induction noise and hopefully open up the exhaust a bit. I'm hoping that's all I'll have to do, but this makes me think I'll likely need an aftermarket exhaust too.

Have you start looking at what companies/parts you'd want to use for your Z?

 

[MARLEY]

For me, I'm looking at AMS intake, AMS heat exchanger, AAM 3" full resonated downpipe, Stillen 2.5" 'cat-back' exhaust, BTuned tune, HKS BOV.

That should hopefully get it to mid-high 400's HP/ low-mid 500's TQ to the wheels.

No not yet. I'm coming from the VW/Audi scene so I'm not sure what companies offer parts for Z/Infiniti.

Same here. I've been digging around on the Q forums to get up to speed. I expect there will be a lot more options coming for this engine now that it's in a Z.

 

[Boss_Z]

Lots of shops will develop. AMS already has a line of products so they will surely adapt that for the Z. Similarly the likes of MAP, COBB, mishimoto etc etc will develop more for sure given its in a Z

Japanese shops I guarantee will start to ramp up as well HKS, Blitz, Tomei, Amuse, Cusco, Greddy etc. I can't wait to see what comes out of Japan tbh Carbing Titanium braces for example (I had them on my Evo's) they were amazing.

I shared some examples here and my favorite has to be this one.

I'd be thrilled if the production car sounds that good IRL but the cynic in me suspects the audio here has been "augmented" by the marketing dept. Hope I'm wrong.

owning cars with loud exhausts for long drives can get a tad annoying. seeing how this is very quiet I'm really digging it. I do not mind the sound as much as I do want this car to perform at fast speeds. performance > sound for me. as you all have mentioned nothing an aftermarket exhaust can't fix, but if the car is slow with a loud exhaust.. well now that's just embarrassing IMO

yeah seems way to quite from factory i test drove a q60 red sport just to get a feel for what the vr30tt could sound like in the new z but odly enough the q60 seems way louder and more agressive from factory i hope its just the video thats making it seem weak

It makes me wonder how much the driving modes in the car will affect how it sounds and performs.
