Well, finally bit the bullet and went to Perf. Nissan and got the Nismo exhaust installed on my coupe. Thanks to Jason for warning me about the exhaust tips sticking out less than the stock tips. Didn't bother me that much, but I would've preferred having them stick out more.

Anyways, initial thoughts- it's pretty freakin loud. Louder than I thought it would be... and it makes these popping noises which kinda bug me(which I found out later is normal for more free-flowing exhausts). I'm HOPING that after a week or so that the noise level will die down a bit, and the popping will go away, but I always hope for the best and assume the worst. I may swap the muffler back to stock and sell it if the sound stays the same... (anyone interested in buying it if i do?)

Butt dyno can feel a difference though. Can't complain about that. Anyone else here have this exhaust? Any advice/comments?

Thanks!

 

Have any pictures? Sounds good

 

I just got the nismo exhaust myself last week..but I got rt cats along with it. My impression..first few days it was LOUD.. it annoyed me. Everything changed when I installed the pop charger, now the sound is just like stock, only more aggressive which is exactly what I want. it sounds perfect. Give it a week or two and see if it changes

 

ordering mine this week. I debated way too long over which exhuast.. what i really want is the amuse Ti but the price is outta this world for some mere gains.

The nismo exhuast sounds real exotic. I heard one on a Z and it did in fact sound like a ferrari driving. Add cats and you will get some head turns from people who know their cars.

 

I'll be interested in buying it from you if you decide to revert back to stock. Let me know how much you want for it.
