The single-canister duel-exit is very popular. Difficult to tell.

Someone told me that it might be a Nismo knock off, It sounds good but I wonder what performance gain it gives to the car?

I wouldn't say it's a Nismo replica. The Nismo tips are rounded at the end of the exhaust pipes IIRC...

Got under the car and took a good look at it and I belive it is a Helix. Just need to get rid of the OEM y pipe and I will be in business. Ran it WOT today and it sounds real good. Got any recomemdations for a Y pipe or are they pretty much the same.

I think it looks a lot like the Fujitsubo System, http://www.g35parts.com/9083/osc/pro...roducts_id=539 . But not sure, the Invidia system is similar but true dual exhaust all the way back. I thought I heard at one point that Invidia made a single pipe back system.

I'm not sure, I looked into their test pipes cuz they sounded really good, like a hfc. But I didn't know they made exhausts, but if it sounds like their test pipes I'd imagine it would sound sweet.

Sounds real good and there is no drone to it. WOT it has a high pitched wail kind of like an formula 1 car.
