Exhaust growl.

I have a 2010 fx35. One of the things that attracted me to the vehicle was the nice growl from the exhaust. My friend has a 2011 G37x and for some reason his growl on start up and drive is much more pronounced then on the fx. I would like to have the louder deeper growl to. Anything I can do?

Forced induction would be a start.

Cheaper to go w new reuseable filter. Some debate, maybe mechanicallly safer to get a new exhaust muffler. Can customize sound (maybe involving trial n error) with mid pipe. hi flo cats were too much for me because I wanted my neighbors to not hate me- but barely, and I'm over concerned about that anyway. Only hi flo cats might get you there (and maybe bump power at wheels) around the same $ as muffler. Go to exhaust shop(s), don't buy anything that day, research, go back, research, and work with the shop you feel good about- in return they should work with you. $1000 at the upper end for sound and maybe minimal (if any, at best) power gains to $300 realisticly for simple exhaust. If you mechanically inclined, $175 and install of aftermarket filter and intake tube. And the bug begins...

Thanks. I think I will go with the Gemini invidia cat back. Seems to be much cheaper than the ARK. However, it may be best to wait until the warranty is up so as not to void it. Do you think they may void the up to 40k warranty or up to 70k warranty?

Could if the exhaust caused the warranty issue. You alone have the power to decide between potential warranty issues vs. for sure more pronounced growl. To get the best of both, install (carry and place) a self powered (rechargeable) audio enhancement device (boom box with looping "growl") and enjoy. Don't forget to hit rewind and stop when you put the fx in park.

Hey, I have a fake problem I would like help with, but I want to wait until my factory warranty is up, just in case. What should I do in 2 years? Don't go to a local shop. Get all parts online, from individual sellers, only based on price. Then take box of parts to local shop and insist they fit. Then sit back and enjoy!

Thanks for the advice Ripnfx. I will have the Gemini nividia cutback installed at year end after 40k warranty expires.

Thanks for the sarcasm dislexicfxnaf.
