There's always room for improvement! Or change, since it's usually boredom that makes me want to change it up.

I've always liked the NISMO and wanted to stick with it to keep it OEM. The TDX2 was my second choice but I found my NISMO for a great deal. It has a nice low grunt to it and screams when pushed hard. I never wanted an exhaust that was loud all of the time.

Can't enjoy the car with a loud exhaust. Just a bit of gas and everyone notices you. Loud exhaust doesn't mean more power.

I should have said, I can't enjoy my car with a loud exhaust. I'm sure most teenagers love loud exhausts as well.

I'm certainly not a teenager but I like the raw feeling of a brutal exhaust note. Gets old sometimes then I remember I love it

And yes the Z was properly warmed up.
I think it sounds pretty nice. I like the OEM sound, and at least you know this exhaust flows better than OEM.

Thanks! Exactly. I can definitely feel the difference with the XYZ pipe. Along with my NISMO CAI, I'm done with upgrading the engine/exhaust system. This will always be my DD so I need it to be enjoyable at all times. I'm considering the NISMO sway bars, since I have a 2003, and maybe the NISMO suspension but that won't be till next year or so.

Oh I know. I've heard sounds clips and fell in love with it just as much as the NISMO, but without ART pipes. I know pairing certain exhausts with test pipes/hfc can really make the Z get too loud for my taste. But I have heard some combinations that aren't that bad at all, depending on what's been done.
