I was wondering if you guys think it is worth it to get the nismo Exhaust through my work for $770. And i was wondering if some1 likes it why and if they noticed any gains. i work for nissan in sales and i get nismo parts at a good discount. i sold my stillen because i was going to get rid of the Z but the guys did not want to buy it and bought another Z instead i still have not got to change my si. thanks guys.

performance gains- i don't know, it was installed by the dealer with about 8 miles on the car
sound- i can't compare it to stock, but i really like it. it has a nice sound when you go wot but can be quiet when you want it to be.

 

Yes...

NISMO exhaust is the best exhaust you can get for the money...

It is a FULL cat back while other exhausts in that price range except a one are y-pipe back... NISMO Exhaust includes a Y-Pipe...

 

Jason, how much could you give me the exhaust -plus install- for?? (pm please)

 

thanks guys i think i am going to purchase this system then maybe i will try to get a sound clip or 2.

 

Even though I have the Borla TD, the Nismo sounds damn fine, I like it.

 

for that price i would jump on it......and ship one to me too.....77379 thx! lol...jk

 

nismo sounds like stock but meaner and more growly - deeper maybe, definetly louder

9 lbs less than stock, 6hp and 4 tq gain

the exhaust tips IMO look the best out there out of all exhausts

 

I went to the nissan dealership today to buy a nismo exhaust system. They quoted me at 1100 bux including install. I'm gonna go for it. But they have to order it so waiting is going to suck...

 

Hey Jason, is there less backpressure in the Nismo exhaust than the stock exhaust?

 

1100 + install is rape

 

I agree on the tips. Best looking by far. So fantastic looking. And the polished muffler sticking down with the word NISMO stamped into is really cool.

My only gripe out the Nismo is the loudness. With stock cats it's not bad. It can get a little bit of a drone on the freeway around the 3K rpm mark, but it's not too bad. However, if you use high flow cats or test pipes with a Nismo exhaust, watch out. The sucker drones really badly at that point.

 

some people's drone is another person's growl

I have all major NA mods including HF cats, nismo exhaust, headers, intake, plenum, cams etc and love hearing the sound coming out the back of the car instead of only the front

 

I agree that the Nismo has a really cool growl, especially at full throttle and high rpms. Very, very good sounding exhaust. I have numerous friends who positively comment on it all the time. However, when cruising on the freeway, there is most definitely an interior cabin drone from about 2750 rpm to 3100 rpm (give or take a few). With high flow cats or test pipes, it's actually quite a bad drone.

 

yeah, guess i don't know, i have the 3.9 final drive and my highway rpm's hover around 3300-3500 rpms

 

I have Nismo CAI/headers/cat-back with stock cats. I have to that this combination gives an absolutely perfect sound to my ears. The mild drone is completely gone with the addition of the headers which also adds a bit more of a powerful depth to the overall sound but makes it a bit quieter over the stock exhaust manifold. When you hit the gas, you get a rich, exotic, powerful tone that puts a huge grin on my face and makes me want to shut off the music so I can hear my beautiful car.

 

I also want to get the nismo exhaust. The finish on it is just amazing and it I love the look of the tips. Most people I talk to tell me that it drones really bad and to get the borla. I like the nismo, but everyone tells me to get the borla. I dont know what to do.

 

Its a great looking exhaust, and it sounds amazing.

 

I also have NISMO CAI, Cams, Headers and Cat Back Exhaust. The combination is awesome, but the idle is a problem now as you probably know. Did you re-flash? If so AAM or TS? Are you running on 91 or 03?

 

but only minimal power gains

I love the way the Nismo sounds.. but perhaps a true dual would make more power, also replacing y pipe with h pipe.
