Nismo: Single Exhaust
Borla: Dual Exhaust

Borla ofcourse is best buck for the gain. haven't seen complain from either Nismo or Borla yet. I have Borla. Love it

As for header, check out my thread about STRUP. I have my STRUP header install tomorrow with the STRUP test pipe. Will let you know the result.

My recommendation:

STRUP header/test pipe and Borla exhaust.

+1 for strup headers, i dont particularly like either of those exhausts but if I had to choose I'd go with Borla.

love my borla, its not as much on the bling factor but its under the car. as for gains, terrific best bang for the buck. for the sound, its very quiet without any other breathing mods, but gives a deeper more of a v8 exhaust tone. add an intake, test pipes or hfc, maybe headers and plenum spacer you have a monster when it comes to sound, but still enjoyable. some exhausts are so loud by themselves. you add more breathers to those, they become unbearable.

over price. You will get the same gain with other like DC or STRUP but at lower price.

if u want to pay 500 more dollars for nismo just to say u got it thats fine
but the rest of us are more economically efficient
afterall if u do have nismo headers, u can say "i got nismo headers!" on ur mod list

they can only void the warranty on the headers and/or the exhaust components
also NISMO Headers are R-Tune so they dont carry warranty anyway...

NISMO headers are R-Tune bro..
note the R = Race (or whatever it might mean?) and R-Tune products carry no warranty and if it breaks, cause other failures its your fault

they have no idea what they are talking about. Look here:

they will not VOID the warranty on the whole car if you just replace your exhaust, tp, header etc. Let say you need to fix your rear axles, they can't say because you replace your header and we can fix the rear axles for you.
