With a JWT TT in the works (will be installed in the summer) what would be the best exhaust to go with? After a lot of research, I've narrowed it down to the Nismo, HKS or 3" APS. I know comparing the Nismo is like apples to oranges since it is a 2.5" and not true dual, but I do like the sound of it.

Any thoughts?

 

Nismo is 3" single, not 2.5"

I loved the sound of it, but it doesnt come close to the APS 2.5" for performance. My car gained 51 bhp over the nismo with remapping and raising the boost pressure by 0.5 psi.

 

If you going turbo forget about the nismo, you need a TD exhaust. APS 3" is just perfect

 

That's what I figured, I have read where the Nismo becomes a little restrictive when it comes to turbo apps.

baptist- is there a reason you chose the 2.5" over the 3"?

 

The 3" system wasnt out then, but Im thinking of changing now, as the 2.5" is too quiet for my tastes.

 

Thanks, is the 3" that much louder than the 2.5"? Kinda hard to tell from the website. Just slightly louder than stock while retaining the "Z" sound is what I'm looking for.
