Default having really doubts on coming set up help me!!!NISMO?AMUSE??

hello i live in belgium and i own a 350z sunset orange 2004/11 with 65000km,now i want to do a few mods on my z but i have serius doubts about wich parts i want to use.
NISMO LMGT4 silver 18-19?

NISMO S-Tune Shock & Spring Suspension

NISMO R-Tune Header

NISMO Cat-Back Exhaust System or the amuse r1 titan.this is the fact that i really doubt about because the amuse is way more exclusive and gives a better performance than the nismo.but i take everything nismo is this worth to take the amuse

CRAWFORD High Flow Cats does nismo have this part?

friendly grtz
btw we dont have enthusiast,performance,touring,nismo... here you jsut have the base model that comes with everything nav,leather,brembo brakes,rays engeneering rims...

NISMO has high flow cats yes- they are very expensive (over $1000 per pair)

in the end it really is your choice what to use obviously, depending on your style, budget, etc

there is no meaningful power performance difference between NISMO and Amuse exhaust - Amuse is titanium, so much lighter, but also much more $

How do you manage to save $600 in shipping? Unless you're trying to get it shipped overnight, full Nismo exhaust shouldn't cost more than half that to get shipped.

Is the Amuse exhaust located near you and the Nismo would have to be shipped half way across the world? We ship international all the time, if you have any questions e-mail me and we can figure out proper shipping to you.

Internet doesn't mean you're not getting ripped off on shipping. If the exhaust box isn't over size or over weight we could ship it via USPS for under $300. I've shipped Subaru exhausts from Skunk2 for under $300 to Belgium.

I can tell you first hand the NISMO exhaust is far beyond USPS guidelines and is oversized 3 in UPS's system - as I recall its 70x30x15 ish and ~70 lbs

all depends on your exact address, etc

we send these exhausts for example to the UK all the time - under $300, door to door. To other parts of Europe, it can be a bit more. The good thing is the box is so large you can often fit other parts in it and shipping costs won't go up

The subject crosses several forums: wheels, suspension, intake exhaust. And nothing that you have listed is new. Nothing that has not been discussed in detail. Great reading here.

I have no opinion of them as I have no experience with them. We use Ultimate Racing cats at our shop - they've worked out very well for us over the years. I have no experience with any other cats for the Z
