I am in the near process of getting a Nismo exhaust on my stock '06.
The only thing I have on it now is a JWT pop charger.
My question is, once I get the exhaust, is there a need to keep the pop charger on for the noise or will the exhaust noise overpower the pop charger's? I was thinking I may go back to my stock air box if it doesn't make any difference and to avoid any 'heat soak' problems in the future.
Thanks for any help!

 

Initially I had the PC'er and just the stock exhaust. At 4,000 rpm and up, the PC'er woke up and drowned out any exhaust sound. While driving under 4,000 RPM, I couldn't hear the stock exhaust note much if at all. Basically the stock exhaust is like a sewing machine.

When I added the Nismo exhaust, I found that the exhaust note was most noticable below 4,000 RPM, where on the other hand the PC'er was quiet.


In other words, Keep them both on, if you want to hear nice noise from 1,500 RPM to redline!!!! The compliment each other nicely. Below 4,000 I hear the Nismo and above 4,000 is a wet dream.

 

Thanks for the info.
I'll keep them both on for better sound like you said.
Can't wait to get the exhaust now! Damn!

 

jus combine both for a great VQ sound.

 

I love the way mine sounds together....gas mileage has suffered from it LOL

 

I've got the PC and the Nismo cat-back and the sounds really is nice from 3k on up while under load. For the first few month that I had that setup I found myself just holding off shifting until 3.5-4k just to hear that sound.

 

2 different noises... one comes from the front, one comes from the rear. If you like them both keep both.

 

You will def enjoy it..but as mentioned earlier, its hard on the fuel economy...

 

Not to hi-jack the thread. But i was wondering i want a stock looking exhaust. Debating on Nismo Vs. Apex WS2. What do you guys think?
