High frequency sport sound right after acceleration. Not too loud while cruising. Quiet at idling. Exhaust system that links with drivers' mind.

What HKS has found about "sound"

There should be a performance sound quality whether idling in the morning or at night, daily driving, or during spirited driving. HKS utilises the latest sound control technology to develop exhaust systems that are tuned to the driver's desire. An unprecedented exhilarating sporty sound from the SSM begins the moment the accelerator is pressed.

Super Sound Master (SSM) for Z33 VQ35DE



Layout designed for appearance & sound quality

To control the exhaust sound, all pipes layout after the engine must be taken into consideration. This exhaust system controls the sound by the inner structure of the silencer and lengths of the exhaust pipes. The SSM for Z33 VQ35DE has such a unique horn-shaped round layout. Tig-welding and a fully polished finish improve its shiny appearance.

Overcoming a weakness of the Z33 VQ35DE

The VQ35DE engine for Z33 has unique exhaust pulsation sound. This pulsation can be reduced with the SSM, and soft and comfortable exhaust sound can be presented.
