Well, installed the Nismo exhaust last night, took maybe 2-3 hours. Here's a little tip. Those rhino ramps are great, but I still had to crawl like a soldier to get the ypipe off haha. If you have a good floorjack and some good stands, use those.

Removal of stock stuff: It was a little tricky since I couldn't use air tools in most of the tight spaces....no biggie. I just used some muscle and a 10" breaker bar. Amazing how rusty some of those nuts can get after only 2 years and in FL!

Anyways, on to the Nismo unit. Upon removal from the box (poorly packed, thanks Nismo!) the pieces looked great. Of course, they were still wrapped in the plastic. After removal from the plastic, it was quite apparent the quality was in the parts. Welds were obviously amazing, but the materials quality was bar none. Fit and finish was excellent.

On to the sound. AMAZING! Excellent sound in normal driving, not overpowering, and no drone. Almost silent at cruise. Freaking beautiful! Haven't been able to butt dyno it to a tee yet, but it feels good with the Nismo CAI

 

Congrats! I want that exhaust so bad, but don't have the funds at the moment. Does the exhaust look different from stock from afar?

 

I am leaving for Korea for one year, and that is my first goft upon returning. I will search long and hard throughout the year to get the best deal. Florendocruz you listening, hope you have some within 8-12 months from now,

 

I have the Nismo Cat Back and it is awesome.

The fit and finish is as good as it gets. Remember, it was disigned for the car by Nissan's racing division...

Performance. I definatly feel the difference! at all rpms but the most noticible
is at around 4500 to redline it pulls nicely... The sound is also SWEET!

Quiet when you want it to be and it gets aggresive when you get on it.

The warranty is cool as well...

If you're not going 400+ FI, I think it suits the need.

I heard a SC (VORTECH) 350Z with the Nismo Cat Back exaust and it sounded SICK Truly a one of a kind exaust note...

Highly recommended...

I just got mine installed recently and I think it rocks.
The sound and everything is improved over stock and to me the car feels faster.
Im not sure if thats true or not but i know the sound turns heads every time i go through the neighborhood.

 

I got lucky and bought my car with it already installed! And yes, it sounds great...

 

Doesn't look that different except you can see its stainless steel and you can tell it has bigger tips than stock. Also it sounds alot louder from afar than a stock Z does. Especially mine with headers and HFC's... sounds awesome.
