absolutely do not get test pipes and seeing u have the nismo exhaust get the berk high flow cats which are pretty much designed to work with the nismo and have the extra support and are not raspy as hell like test pipes and obnoxiously loud all the time...it will still have a nice clean sound and be loud when ur on it but able to keep quiet also

HFC cost more so if thats an issue then just go with resonated testpipes. You shouldn't have rasp at all. My friend had nismo exhaust with nonresonated and even that didn't have rasp. Also depending on which year Z u have u may have to get nonfoulers to avoid any CEL/SES.
