My set-up is K&N FIPK, Berks header, Mugen AP2 exhaust. This combo doesn't sound like the g35 note due to the placement but it does sounds really deep and it growls. I love this note because it's not obnoxious at all and it gives you the sporty tone. Honestly, IMHO it sounds better than G35 exhaust note.
Do you have any videos by any chance?

No videos. It really doesn't do it justice even if I have a video for it. But i'll see if I can make one asap.

No worries, I've just always been partial to the deep, smooth tone of Mugen exhausts, so if I ever went with an I/H/E it would be a very similar setup as yours. Every video / sound clip I hear just makes me want it that much more

NOTHING you do will sound even close to the VQ engine so don't even waste your money. well unless you swap in a VQ and get a nismo exhaust...

i think the vr6 and VQ engines have the BEST note in the market followed by subaru. s2000 probably isn't the best but when you're in vtec it sounds pretty damn good.

350z too.

Distinct, yes. The tone is clear. However, every time I hear one, it sounds like an asthmatic water buffalo wheezing through its mouth. No thanks. It doesn't help that it's usually paired with a lackadaisical upshift from an auto-tranny.

I'll take 2 tightly wound liters of fury screaming up to redline followed by a snappy upshift through one of the best manual transmissions any day of the week.

I prefer the engine to drown out the exhaust.
