Bro keep these videos up man!!! Our vq community will much appreciate it
Thanks man!
I was thinking the same thing and was going to say it too.
@@SpeedCultureStudios Woke The Last is right on point with this comment. We do appreciate it, I certainly do!
Hey man, just wanted to say I’ve been a fan of your exhaust system and videos ever since i got my Q50 almost a year ago. Thanks to you I’ve been learning a lot about my car and soon I hope to get your setup because I am ADDICTED to its sound, ideal sound I was looking for. Much love from CA, keep the content coming!
Really appreciate that Jalen! Thanks for following along!
After driving a 2018 Freightliner all week getting to drive my Q again is almost orgasmic 😆
And your Q still sounds mean 👍🏾
I can imagine!
Always drop videos at the right time! was just watching your other ones!
I appreciate that! Sometimes its early, sometimes it's late--but I always get them out!
Just bought everything for this setup but it with the bigger resonators. Can’t wait to get it installed. Found a shop to do it for $180!
Fantastic deal!
Sounds great 👍 I’m patiently waiting for my parts to come in, the exact same as yours (except I still have my stock cats). Currently running a muffler delete and can’t wait to hear this setup!
Going to be awesome!
Hey man, the exhaust sounds great and love the videos. I just bought a 2014 Q50S myself, so these videos are helping a lot in figuring out what works. Keep it up!
Thanks for following along!
LOVE THAT SOUND
VQ is definitely one of the best sounding 6s out there.
Gonna try this on my fx45. Running dr. Gas x pipe and 2 spintraps out back. Love the smoothness of this system. Great work my guy!!!
awesome!
Love the sound man. I’m going with your same set up. I have motordyne art pipes, 1320 performance Y pipe and tomorrow I have an appointment to have my custom 2.5 inch exhausts made including the borla mid muffler and flow master resonator with ark burnt tips. I’ll make a video sometime in the future and give you the credit you deserve! Thank you again.
Should sound awesome!
I truly hope so!
I need the girlfriends approval 😅
About to get this installed on my 2014 Q60 IPL, THANKS TO YOU!!! You’re awesome, keep up the great content!!
Should be a great addition to an awesome car!!
Sickk burnouts in the Q! Cool exhaust clips! Aggressive tone! #VQboyz #InfinitiBoyz
love your videos thanks a lot have a 2014 3.7 q50 super lance7 one love
Thank YOU!
Thanks for these videos. It's very helpful and I'm about to order the goods!
Thanks for watching!
Love the vids man! Got me wanting to go back to a 3.7 Q50 haha. Have you ever thought of installing an electronic exhaust valve in the system? Would love to get your thoughts on that
Lol I actually have thought of that. I don’t want to put one in my current system because it’s clean, but I may toss my old setup back in with cutouts just for fun lol.
Amazing sound! 👏
Thanks!
Placed my order for all of the speed culture exhaust.
Hell yeah!
@@SpeedCultureStudios I want to send you a clip here in a week. it’s a 2012 g37 I’m curious to hear the sound changes.
Please do! Send me a message on IG
Dope video!
Glad you liked it brother!
Sounds great. Always love me some vq. I got an old maxima
Hey SCS, I love the Channel! I’m getting this setup (waiting for the magma flow exhaust)! I don’t have Y pipes and I’m still running stock cats, how do you think that will fare? And should I just get Y pipes? Thanks I’m advance! Huge fan of yours!
This system eliminates the y pipe. Do you mean test pipes?
@@SpeedCultureStudios yes, sorry about that it was late 😂 haha but I know you are running test pipes with this setup up, and one more thing, I saw somewhere you dropped “spdcultr” decals I think they look dope as heck and would love to buy one, I know they aren’t listed in your shop anymore so if you have anymore I’d love to buy one or two!
You think that same muffler shop would do my exhaust for roughly the same price as yours?!
They are pretty busy now. They are always very reasonable with their prices so I’d just call and ask.
You dont have that hissing sound or are you not running test pipes?
I have test pipes. Hissing sound is common. It’s very minimal for me.
So did you get test pipes installed at the same time as getting the exhaust installed? Also if I get test pipes does it shoot flames or do you need a tube for that? I would rather not shoot flames tbh cause I’m getting it installed this week.
I had test pipes installed before this exhaust but at the same time as tune. You need flame tune for flames
How’s the drone between 2-3k? That’s my only gripe with this same setup on mine. Although, I don’t have resonated TP’s yet so that’s the only difference right now
Minimal around 1900-2200 rpm. Anything over that is butter.
At the time of this video, were you running stock cats, high flow cats, or test pipes? Wanting to know what this setup sounds like with test pipes.
This setup was designed for test pipes 😉
@@SpeedCultureStudios have you had anybody boosted run this setup? I have the SOHO A2A SC kit on its way and already bought all the parts for the SCS custom exhaust and some Berks test pipes, haven't installed them yet. With the increased air flow due to forced induction, does this system end up having a deeper tone and would the 2.5 diameter be optimal in dual outlet form?
Sorry for the loaded questions.
@@robertwinters2966 several tuned 3.0t guys run it. The only recommendation is to run 3” diameter rather than 2.5
How loud is the idle? I'm looking for a setup that can be quiet when I need it to be, but can sound aggressive when I want it to be. Would this be the best setup for me?
It has a nice low idle. I believe I stated all of this in the video.
What’s the exhaust setup on this I love it
Love the sound but seeing lots of people saying that the Borlas blow out with burble and flame map usage... What was your experience like with them?
If you’re constantly running flame map you’re going to blow out any mid muffler. Exhaust systems are not built for flames lol. I’ve had the system for over 3 years with occasional flames and it sounds as good as it did day one. There have been a few people that have had issues because they do it too often. There are over 800 of these out there with no issues
Good to know! You think if I put a standard x pipe and 18" resonators after it with flowfx in the rear and resonated test pipes it would sound similar and hold up better to a burble map?
@@ryanr5812 might sound similar. X pipes can act as echo chambers resulting in additional rasp or some “tinny” noises but the large resonators right after might help tone that down
@@SpeedCultureStudios ok thanks for the info! Last question: I know you mentioned not spitting flames much but do you use the pops and bangs/burbles that some tuners give at all? Because I use that a lot more than full on flames
So when you do your exhaust you take the catalytic converters off right?
Only if you have test pipes to replace them with
I wonder how this CB exhaust setup would sound on my VR30....
I think there was one person going to try it that I know of but haven’t heard if he’s done it. I think it would sound good honestly. The big resonators will bring that higher pitch tone down and give it more of a rumble. I’d love to hear it!
Speed Culture Studios I was thinking of getting the non-res CB exhaust by Fast Intentions but I really love how your VQ sounds.. You said you built your CB exhaust for under 500$? If that’s the case, then I’m truly considering this setup instead of spending 1500$ on a whole CB exhaust! Thanks for the quick reply, as well!
Shieet im getting tempted to get the same setup too just dont know if it would sound just as good on the vr30 as well
Hey what have you done to your headlights? I know you did the eyelid, and blacked out the side amber. But did you also buy some tint for the highbeams or blackout the inside? And if tint what %?
Nope nothing else done to them.
Has your intake or exhaust caused your check engine light to come on? I just picked up my Stillen intake and will be getting ARK Grip the end of April.
Tune will take care of the check engine light.
@@SpeedCultureStudios Thanks, if needed I’ll hit up Z1, they are just far as fuck from me. Went this weekend and it was a long ass drive lol
Hey man just wondering if you’ve seen the Velossa big mouth rams for the q50. If so what’s your take on it? Thanks.
I’ve seen them but can’t imagine any performance increase. I’d test them if they sent me a set, but I’m not going to buy them.
Speed Culture Studios Yea they’re pretty expensive too. I might get some but it’ll mostly be for looks honestly.
I got the vr30
So if I have a 100% stock engine and stock cats and just looking for a nice sounding exhaust that’s a nice sounding volume would running the magnaflow muffler and the resonators be a good option or do you still recommend only using one or the other?
If you kept stock cats, you could just do a basic x pipe and use the flowfx resonators out back.
@@SpeedCultureStudios what x pipe would you recommend?
@@bigboizayy4500 amzn.to/3xeV4vt
Currently running Berk HFC's. I assume my setup done identically would otherwise ne a slight bit quieter?
Hey man Im getting a 3.7 soon and I was wondering if this setup will still sound good with stock cats since test pipes are, well, illegal and Im not willing to risk it
It sounds good but it’s quiet-sounds stock. You might as well just save the money and do a muffler delete
You can do with high flow cats
Hey Speed Culture Studios, question for you, did you leave your Catalytic in the exhaust, and run this setup back from that? Or did you take out the cats?
Test pipes!
Speed Culture Studios , ok I take it that you are running test pipes as well. Lol. Where did you buy yours? So the flow goes, test pipes, borla, resonators, exhaust tips?
Mike Warren correct!
Test pipes 360Performance.
Speed Culture Studios resonated or non resonated?
What cats do you have on it? That thing is WICKED!!
Thank you!
Hey i wanted to ask you so if i installed all 3 of these parts you put on ur links description i can go get it tuned after to have the 5 different set ups/tunes you got? Also how much does it cost to tune it?
Check out the complete exhaust video. The car also has test pipes. I wouldn’t tune it if you don’t get test pipes or high flow cats. And yes you can get the various maps tuned. Plan on $1000-1200 for tune and dyno time
@SpeedCultureStudios dang that's dope! Thank you for responding. I appreciate it a lott! Love your channel. I've prob watched some of your vids like 40ea not gonna lie haha just to get ideas of something or to install things. Ur q50 is dope I like the rims you had on it ive always liked those typa rims myself but I want something more like 5 or even up to 15 spoke type look...I just dont plan on doing crazy driving in my q since it's my daily. Going for a clean look blacked out like yours basically, and I want it to sound aggressive... I have a remark axle back on it sounds pretty good but I want it to sound more mean/muscle type and a nice deep tone loud while it's in park and when driving I rarely go above 55mph. 45mph even...
@@joshsandoval7691 really appreciate that man!
@@SpeedCultureStudios appreciate you more! Thank you for everything!
setup didn't work on 3.0 red sport, well at least the shop said it wouldn't really work so I just installed the resonators and did a muffler del. VR30 definitely much quieter than VQ37 so even with muff delete still fairly quiet. Any suggestions?
I don’t know why it wouldn’t work. You may have had to remove the cross brace but I’m pretty sure it would work.
Do I have any suggestions for what?
Please do a flame map at night plz!!
I need someone to film!
Speed Culture Studios just place it in a tripod or just have it laying on a curb
So im confused...you dont really mention test pipes? Your other video you only link muffler and the braided pipe and the flowfx muffler? Would that give me similar performance boost and sound quality with just those parts? Or should i also get test pipe like yours for the same performance and sound you have?
That’s up to you. Test pipes give the most power, but you need a tune.
Speed Culture Studios which ones do you have?
supererik123 top speed. But I’ve used manzo as well.
@@SpeedCultureStudios resonated or non resonated? i’m about to build this exhaust on my awd 3.7
@@jamisonstiebeling803 my preference is resonated because it helps with drone but either is fine
I have 2014 q60s coupe awd ,,, do I need test pipes for this set up …………?????? I want same exact sound
To sound the same, yes
Do you think it would sound the same with the magnaflow muffler? The borla one blown on me 3times😒 and i dont have a clue why
The magnaflow is smaller so it’ll have a little rasp
Do you have test pipes or long tube headers?
Would going with a 3 inch add any performance or make it louder?
No and no.
I’ve talked about this in other exhaust videos-check them out!
The car does not need an exhaust larger than 2.5. Unless you’re going single exit, then 3” is correct. With a 3” dual you might make 1 hp more over 2.5 but you’d drop a couple lbs of torque.
Now if you’re a tuned 3.0t pushing some good boost, then 3” would be good.
What do you think about nissan cutting Infiniti?!?
They’ve been in trouble for awhile. They had to do something drastic to stop the bleeding -leave it to Nissan to make the wrong move haha
Where do I get test pipes? Which kinds should I get? Im looking for 2.5 inch
You won’t find anything other than 2.5” they are all decent except Megan racing
How can I do cat back or axle back without cel
You won’t get a CEL with an axleback
What exactly did you do to it ? I want to do it too
Check out my SCS Custom Catback video
Hey boss I have had this setup on my 2008 G37 for about a month now and I’ve noticed I do have heavy drone around 3rd gear and for some reason when I do rev I get a very high pitch sound towards the end. Any recommendations or tips you think I could do to try to match mine setup a little more to yours? I did swap for the upower instead of the flow master and I do have z1 test pipes
I’m not sure what you’re experiencing
Check for leaks at your flex pipes or your welds. A little leak could be a cause for the drone. Maybe get some j pipe resonator/helmholtz fabricated.
@@ekamvirk7599 The high pitch sound he's mentioning is a little curious though.
@@ekamvirk7599 thank you brother I’ll keep you updated if it’s not resolved
Is it louder than a muffler delete?
About the same volume but much cleaner tone
Would you say it sounds better than ark grip exhaust
@@gregwilliams5441 ark is raspy
Is this obnoxiously loud? Or wake up neighbors loud
No. Check out my other SCS Catback videos
so is it loud if i want to go for a loud exhaust?
Its loud enough
Do I need Borla
Not necessarily. I’ve been recommending the magnaflow alternative because borla has had some quality issues lately
Go single exit for the next setup, or be a cheap bastard like myself and get a used gtr titanium oem exhaust - chop it up and get it on,
Maybe...
how loud is this compared to a muffler delete? currently running a muffler delete and i wanna be louder while keeping the nice tone
Similar volume just cleaner tone
do you have your isr resonated test pipe on ?
I didn’t have isr test pipes but I recommend them
@@SpeedCultureStudios do you think it will be way more loud with the test pipe
@@jeremylemonde5960 yes
Is this the red sport one ?
No but systems works in the redsport
It’s still nice tho 👌🏽
would this sound good on the 3t?
I think so. Just waiting for someone to try it!
First!
Quick draw! Nice
What year is your Q50?
2015
I like the make of it
I just did the same setup and have lots of drone inside the cab why
No idea. You’re just not used to a good exhaust and have never heard what drone actually sounds like
Speed Culture Studios so you have it as well
Why did you tune it if you don’t have test pipes on it?
Also thanks for always responding. I’ve been a SCS member for almost 2 years now.
Love the content man!
Did anyone say I don’t have test pipes?
So I got the same setup but I noticed that they put the resonators literally touching the tip. They didn’t leave space between the tips and resonators.. it’s been about 2 days n I have to say it’s borderline too loud for me. No rasp, doesn’t sound like a trumpet my question to you is should I got back and have them space them out a bit or will it tone down by time ?
No moving it back won’t make any difference at all. I’m surprised you think it’s too loud lol.
I was getting use to stock exhaust with test pipes lol it doesn’t sound bad
how much would this cost
Parts plus labor. Check with your local shop for an estimate. Labor these days can range from $400-800
Can someone teach me how to do a proper burnout ahhaha
Only if you have tires you’re willing to burn up. If not, then you just have to do a couple small ones.
@@SpeedCultureStudios I have a new set of Falken FK510
Any cheaper alternatives to the Borla xs
the magnaflow that is linked. There are certain dual in/dual out mufflers out there of a similar design that are cheaper in price. The problem is that the packing materials are not the same nor as well packed so they do not absorb the rasp like the boral does.
