Default Went in for an oil change and left with a Nismo Exhaust!!!!

Hey whats up folks i had an intersting experience to share. i went into the Stealership for an oil change, ( now before you all blast me for taking my Z roadster in the dealership for an oil change, hang with me ) !! so as im waiting for my car im in the waiting area thats adjacent to the parts counter so i ease over and just for fun ask if and how much the Nismo exhaust would be for my 04 Roadster? The parts guy says "yeah we got one and its been sitting around for a while, i bet my parts mgr would like to move it" . so i say "get him up here" the parts mgr shows up and looks it up and says its "$1,195 retail" " how does $780 sound" i was like WOW !! so i said "put it on " lol an hour later im rumbling out of the service bay it was a good day

hehe. Not to sour your victory but the August special for Westcovina nissan is $750. BUt hey you saved yourself S/h!!

How much did they charge you for the install? I was quoted $175 at first but like a dumbass I forgot who to ask for so the next time I called they laughed at me and told me install was at least $500. Either way your in for some fun milage with your OEM quality exhaust system. congrats.

$500! Yowee! I checked with Midas the other day about putting on my Bassani and they said, "Probably no more than $75". Of course that "probably" could swing wide. If someone told me $500, I'd be climbing under the car with it on jack stands.

Great deal. I would have done it myself for the sake of saving the cash but good for you not voiding your warranty!

Thats a great deal, especially from the dealership. However, I would have pushed for free installation or at least half.

Congrats !
