I find it hard to believe they'd be different at all. Considering Nissan is making so many common parts, it seems like a waste of money to make different exhausts for different countries.

one's a left driver and the other is a right driver! Man I'm a smart azz. From the brochure I have I think they have a few more interior options, stuff like that.

JDM cars that are RHD have different exhaust manifolds (headers)...

The rest of the cat back system is the same...

Is it just me or does anyone else feel as though the JDM exhausts have more of a "tin can" sound to them??
