Hi everyone, is there a comprehensive thread about all available downpipes, midpipes, and exhaust systems for the GT-R? If not, could we please start one here?

I've read many threads here and seen many videos on youtube, but can't get a good sense of what I should order with the sound I want from my car based on many of these threads and videos showing owners' cars with combinations of available parts.

What I'm looking for from my overall exhaust sound:

1) Quiet cruising with almost no drone.
2) The most high-pitched sound possible on moderate to full acceleration.
3) The least possible rasp.

From what I understand, many of you with full exhausts are running catless downpipes.

Some are you are running catted midpipes, and I think this is for reducing the rasp of the exhaust and/or downpipes?

You all seem to be running a wide variety of exhausts: Meisterschaft, Password: JDM, etc.

My main questions:

1) What exhaust gives the most high-pitched sound?
2) What down pipe and mid pipe combination is best for reducing rasp? I've read Cobb catless downpipes and catted mid pipes are a popular combination.
3) What downpipe/midpipe/exhaust combination would give me the high-pitched sound with little drone and little rasp?

Thanks so much (in advance) for you help. Just to reiterate, I'm asking these questions here because I have not seen install reviews or videos of exhaust sounds with otherwise stock cars and only one of the three possible parts listed above.

I look forward to your assistance...

high pitched sound? The GTR has turbos and will not sound like a Ferrari.

True, but the Password JDM and Meisterschaft exhausts have the highest-pitched sounds of available exhausts, correct?

Could you please answer my other questions as well?

Thanks in advance.

Is anyone running AMS 90mm catless downpipes and AMS 90mm catless mid-pipe with resonator on a cat-back?
Does it produce a lot of drone? is it actually loud?

thanx for any help

AMS catless dp and mid with HKS exhaust. It's loud and raspy. I love it. There is a little drone and you also get to listen to the turbos spool better.

Is your mid pipe resonated?

Maybe would any of you guys recommend other dp and midpipe which is not that loud and raspy but has 90mm diameter of the pipes

I think the best midpipe for cutting out drone is the HKS or AAM ones. I am not sure you can do downpipes without drone?? Maybe the stock catback helps here??

I had a non-resonated midpipe with catless downpipes and stock exhaust and it was raspy and droned, I hated it. I got the HKS midpipe and it was much better. Later I got the HKS exhaust.

Catless. I wanted to stay with one maker's product or package so there were no fitament issues along the way.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I have a 2016 Premium and I am about to install a AAM non resonated mid-pipe (rest of exhaust stock). However, down the road I plan to do down pipes (most likely catted due to state inspections) and a tune. I guess my question and I realize this is subjective to each persons desires but I really like the look of the stock cat back...I know it is heavy, etc...but from what I gather there is not much HP difference going to an aftermarket cat back exhaust while staying with the stock turbos...so I would think the catted down pipes and non-resonated mid pipe will give me all the HP I can get (say up to 700).

All that to ask others opinion about how (include videos please) would my GT-R sound with this set up Catted Down pipes, non resonated mid-pipe and stock cat back as follows:

1) Loud or not
2) Will this set up sound pretty good (again subjective)
3) Drone...don't mind a little...heck it is a fast car but don't want it excessive

Any other opinions welcome...THANKS!

The car will stay pretty quiet with catted downpipes. Not much different sounding than a stock car with a midpipe. Did you get an adapter flange for that midpipe? You'll probably need one, as I know the 90mm midpipes will typically leak when mated to the stock exhaust if an adapter isn't used. I have them if you do need one.

If your looking for a true 700 horsepower, you'll need a lot more than just a midpipe though.

Here I'll PM you, I can help you sort through a lot your questions.
