Almost ever since I got my 06 GT Z, I have been planning on buying an aftermarket exhaust system for my Z to give a more powerful, exotic, and louder sound than what the stock system offers. So during my research of the different Z exhaust systems out there, my favorites basically came down to Amuse, Fujitsubo, ARC, and Nismo. I personally found myself preferring the Fujitsubo over Amuse due to it's more aggressive sound (plus Amuse seems to be hard and expensive to get ahold of), and ARC basically had the same problem to where it was just very expensive and seemingly rare.

So after hearing how Nismo is pretty much just a re-branded Fujitsubo, I figured might as well just go for the Nismo due to it's seemingly good sound, affordable price, and how it's easy to acquire. So basically before I go ahead and purchase this ($1,250 installed from dealer), I thought I would just get some opinions on this.

 

ask someone from performance nissan...http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=2515. they have it there for around $890-950 I wanted to buy from their group buy a couple of months ago, but i opted out cause I found a HKS for a price i could not resist.

 

maybe cheaper if u just buy it and install it somewhere esle for 40-50 bucks. dealer install is over paying.

 

$1250 is too much, buy it from PN and save yourself $250!

 

Nismo and Fuji are almost the same thing, but IMO sound quite different.

 

I love my Nismo exhaust. I think it's a nice balance between power gain and sound. It doesn't give the most power out there, yet isn't screaming loud. Just a nice throaty sound. Also noticed slight MPG improvement. I got mine through a group buy for $850, but I know you can find them used for less or pretty close to that price if you are willing to look around.

The install wasn't too bad, and the newer your car the easier it will be since the nuts/bolts won't be rusted as badly. It took me about 3 hours, but I had to use a breaker to get my bolts off and cut one off. The exhaust hangers require patience, but aren't difficult either unless you're in a hurry. It was going to cost me $160 in labor so I decided to try it myself. I'm no mechanic either. I can do basic stuff, and this is really just 7 bolts (inlcuding the ground) and three hangers. It's not technically difficult.

 

i love my apexi WS2. sounds great and i felt the power difference after i installed. also its not as expensive

 

we've got the NISMO if you're interested

 

im also concerned about this... bcuz im going FI and i would still want a deep exotic sound... yet i know its going to get toned down... so im still debating

 

I love the Nismo on my ride. Sounds great with the Vortech.

 

We have them in stock and ready to ship or be picked up.
