Sorry it has taken so long. I got the sound recorded onto a digital deck, but I haven't had time to get it uploaded.

Until I get it uploaded, you can hear a very similar clip on the page that UncaDanno supplied - <a href="http://www.fle-online.com/Sounds.asp">Sound Clips</a>. It's the top left one - FlowMaster V6 Camaro. The only difference is I think mine idles with a deeper sound.

I hope to get my clip uploaded in the next few weeks. I haven't forgotten about it. Work just keeps cutting into my day.

its sounds good but it doesnt sounds much different than what it sounds like now. is the difference noticable in person?

I have a Stainless Steel Billet muffler installed on mine with 3 1/2" stainless steel tips. I wanted to keep the stock look but I should have went with 4" tips so it would look like the FX and Z from the rear. The sound is much deeper and when I accellerate you can hear the exhaust but its not loud at all. I kept my resonator and may switch to a smaller one for more sound but I dont want it too loud because the droning sound would be intolerable with the monotone exhaust note due to the CVT. I need to get me a digital camcorder so I can post some clips. My billet muffler is the one used on the V-6 Camaro and it's shorter than the factory muffler.
Good news for those who didnt know, I had three Maximas, two automatic and one Manual 05, 06 and the intake on the Max fits the Murano as if it were made for it. The bad news is you loose take off power by a lot. I don't know why but its a lot slower with the intake on it and it burns more gas, about two miles per gallon more. I went from 22MPG mixed city and short highway distances down to 19MPG with the intake on. Gas is not that expensive now so I may put it back on.

Now that worked fine; Remus makes a good muffler faccording to people I know that have BMW's who have their muffler systems. Not too many people have modded the exhaust of the Murano to get a good feel of how different exhaust systems will sound on our ride. I don't want mine loud, just a nice deep tone that wont drone into the cabin at cruising speed.

Wow Linky love that set up , it's exactly what i had had in mind .
Is there anyway you could be more detailed on the set up i live in the Caribbean and our resources down here are slim to none and i would need to order all my parts from the US therefore mistakes are a no no .
Could you please tell me if the resonator is a magnaflow and is it a camaro resonator as well and do you by chance know what reference / model # .
The rear exhaust what model and year camaro does that come from and do you by chance have the model # on that too ???
i would really appreciate the info
Thanks

 

[Linky]

sxmdaniel - the model number is in this thread and in my gallery. The resonator is just a generic glass-pack muffler.

As I mentioned previously, I would recommend replacing just the rear muffler first. If you would like it to be louder, then replace the center muffler.

 

[sxmdaniel]

Thank you Linky I will start by replacing the rear muffler first and see how it sounds based on your advise and if needed install the resonator , i have however already ordered a SS resonator from flowmaster with the muffler based on your reference model , i guess if i don't use it someone will be eager to buy it down here considering that they are not available here on island .

so

will the expensive exhaust systems on bespokevip.com sound better than a substitute? or are they just the same with no difference whatsoever?

I'm pretty sure there is a small difference at least right? and if so.. what is the difference?

thanks..

To really answer that i would say you would need to have them side by side . I think that what really makes the difference is price , i've surfed for hours and finally ended up following Linky's advice .
1 ) Are you willing to spend an extra $ 1000.00
2) Will their be such a difference in sound that will justify the extra cash
3) you can add s/s steel tips to the flowmaster set up that's most of what's visible if looks is what you're going after .
4) Horsepower / torque gain ? you probably wouldn't even notice it at this level of Hp and the cvt will smoothen that out anyways .

Whatever choice you make i'm sure will be fine , they will all defenitely change the way your Mo sounds

 

[verse214]

i agree

does anyone on the forum have the weldina exhaust system or another seemingly "overpriced" exhaust? The four points that you mention are the determining factors that will help me decide whether or not I am going to spend that extra 1000 dollars on an exhaust. The most important being your second point where the sound (should and hopefully would) justify the difference in cash. After going through the forum it has become clear that hp and torque gain is just wishful thinking with MO's. I don't really care much for the change in looks since you don't see the entire exhaust system unless the car is flying through the air. I emailed the guys at bespokevip.com asking them why the exhaust systems are that expensive and also if they would be able to provide me with an audio clip or an audio clip with comparable sound to an MO with the weldina. I'm thinking that the weldina exhaust (for $2047) would have a unique sound that wouldn't compromise the peacefulness in the cabin since bespoke does specialize in the "vip" feel for cars.. (someone correct me if i am wrong)...

Does anyone have an exhaust of this "quality" (notice the quotes haha) and if someone does do they think that it is worth it? anyone else think they know why the prices are so high? I've read the other thread but there isn't much about the higher priced systems and the thread concentrates on a satisfactory substitute.. and after seeing the extensive knowledge that most members here have I do not doubt that it would be a great substitute but i'm just curious if there is actually any physical difference between the exhausts or if it is just because of the brand name...

enlighten me =)

is this weldina the same as the other weldina? (one listed for 350z, another for murano)

if so.. bespoke vip is evil for overcharging like that..

I think the 2 main reasons for the price difference is the fact that all those high end Mo specialized exhausts are made out of stainless steel and as we know Ss means $$ and yes you are most likely paying a high premium for the brand name and let's not forget that their really is only 3 brands that i know of that make these specific performance Mo exhausts Nismo , Impul and prussian blue therefore they have the market too , take it or leave it deal .
As far a cabin noise i think you would have more noise coming from the engine compartment with a modified intake than you would with the exhaust and also remember that if their is an exhaust noise it's probably only noticeable on acceleration only due to the fact that tha Cvt will bring you back quickly to a low rpm level At which point you won't hear the heavy growl of the exhaust .
Food for thoughts .

Ok tomorrow's the day , got the parts in this morning and will be installing the rear muffler first , hopefully the muffler shop will be able to take me in , will keep you posted

Let us know how you make out, hopefully you can post an audio clip!!!
