Im completly baffed at the above comment. I read the same thing somewhere else too. I find that the only difference with the nismo is that its louder under 3k rpm. If you have it in say 5th gear for us 5AT guys and floor it it sounds deep, then as it gets a little passed 3200 it sounds stock. I havent had anyone drive my car past me since I just got it on but Im not sure how it sounds like WOT going by. Im sure better than stock. But so far i only tell that its louder under 3k.

 

i agree, nismo is definitely deeper at low rpm's, sounds pretty stock up top

 

I don't uderstand either statement because I can definitely tell the difference no matter where in the RPM range it is. Less difference in low rpms without HFCs but definie difference.

 

I plan to get HFC's next maybe. I've never had aftermarket exhaust on any of my cars but I dont think its loud enough for me. Its sounds silent when cruising.

 

I got nismo and test pipes, and i NEVER forget about it

PS: I recommend Resonated Test Pipes

 

Agreed - the posters above must have gotten used to it and haven't heard a stock Z in a while - definitely louder than stock all around. Enough to draw attention, but not enough to be annoying.

 

i just installed mine today, i have testpipes i cant hear my supercharger anymore or my RFL BOV... its fing loud

 

NO, the nismo is DEF less loud in the low RPMS than stock

when your going 2k with the NIsmo, all you hear is...the slight sound of air blowing. with the stock, going in 2k rpm you can clearly hear the distinct VQ sound.

ABOVE 3k RPM, is when the Nismo is loud.

Accordaleer, you said that under 3k is when you think its loud? which is strange to me

oh yeah, the nismo DOES NOT retain that VQ note i have no idea why everyone says that. AlvinHuyn is one guy who understands what i mean

 

, am I the only one who found this funny? haha, I laughed for like 10 minutes!

 

I know what you mean, (stock) everbody at my house used to hear me pull into the driveway when I came home. (nismo) they couldn't hear me anymore, but it definatly makes up for it in higher RPM's. I still love the stock VQ sound and I love mine, especially with the HFC's.

 

I just put mine on last week lol. My point was just that i thought there was a much bigger difference down low than high rpm's. I definitely agree about the quality of sound though

 

What is another exhaust comparible to the nismo just louder. I like the exotic sound that the XO2 gives but heard the quality isn't great.

 

NISMO EXHAUST = JUNK
but what do I know i've almost owned every exhaust made for the z. Haha except the more expensive titanium ones.

Im not a big fan of dual exhaust on our cars anymore. After riding around with a single and then putting the stock back on for a while. The pipes just look to close together to me. Im rolling my bumper up next weekend to take care of that second hole. Single exhaust ftmfw.

 

LOL, yeap I tought it was funny too. Made me smirk.
