Has anyone tried the NISMO/Weldina exhaust?
Has anyone tried the NISMO/Weldina exhaust? I'm planning on installing it this week, I'm jusut reaching out to see if there are any negatives (besides cost) out there. Haven't found any on a Z, but a buddy just installed one on his G35C. It sounds great! He says that he absolutely can feel a difference. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

make sure you post a buncha pics and a review!
I'll try to borrow a digital camera, Ive been wanting to post some pics anyway.
how much did you get yours and how long did it take?
Paying $1800 for exhaust, air freight from Japan, customs & installation. It took about 10 days, 3 for shipping & about a week to clear customs.

I haven't seen it yet but I'm told that the Z exhauast has the third piece (Y-pipe) as well.
The Z is on another part of the island being repaired. We were banged last week by a little old lady on the freeway. I should have the exhaust installed by the end of the week.
I'm guessing that noone else has this system yet, I've posted and asked questions on other threads but never received replies. We'll see how it goes....

For the price, is the Nismo a Titanium exhaust?

Finally, got my exhaust installed today!
No digital cam...no Pics
No technical savvy...no sound clip
No scale...no weight
I do have a dyno though....Butt Dyno!
This is what it looks like:
3 pieces: Y-pipe, middle pipe w/cat, muffler assembly.
All stainless steel looking simalar to stock but much bigger diameter pipes. The catalytic converter is smaller though. The exhaust tips are slightly ovate and each has tie NISMO logo etched on the side (kinda like the Stillen), looks really nice. The muffler has NISMO embossed/stamped in it and a small metal Weldina "label" with S/N & P/N welded (really clean) in the corner.
There wasn't a scale available, I can't even give y'all shipping weight as to it was shipped with other stuff in a crate. What I do know is that it is lighter. When we took off the stock system and compared it you can definately feel the diff. Most of the savings was in the muffler assembly, that stock one was really heavy. I realize it a big gap but if I were to guess, I'd say 7-13 lbs. lighter. I'll try to get numbers from NISMO.
O.K. so it looks good..........
When I first started it up I thought it was quieter than the stock, bummed out a little... Then stepped on it to check for any leaks (there were none) and it came to life! Sounds much deeper not necessarily lower and much sportier. In my opinion, by no means, ricey. My G35 buddy says it just gets better as it breaks in. Only have about 10 miles on it since install, I was late for work. It does have more sound at start up since the first time (chow run).
O.K. so it sounds good........
After I installed my Injen intake, it felt like I lost some of the low end torque/less power from stop but stronger after about 3500 rpms. All of the torque is back and then some! There was plenty traffic on the way so I wasn't able to run hard all the way to work, but she wanted to run. the few times that I was able to open up there was a noticeable diff. ButtDyno doesn't give numbers but I was pushed back into my seat harder than with the stock. I'll try to remember to post back in a couple of weeks with more info, pros &/or cons.
Yeah, I know it was expensive, I was worried & even had remorse before even receiving it. But now, I'm really happy with my decision. Getting something (Y-pipe on back) from the mainland would't have been much cheaper for me anyway. By the way, how does a titanium set-up sound anyway? I wouldn't think it would have a growl or would it?
Haven't decided whats next yet. Wish list, probably like everyone else's:
Chip upgrade
Headers
Suspension upgrade
Torque converter
Brake upgrade
