Has anyone done this successfully? I've done some searching to no avail.

I'm concerned about the length of the tips when installed on a non Nismo Z as the bumpers are significantly different.


Any pictures or advice is much appreciated.

Thanks!

 

YES it has been done - no worries on the tip length

 

You don't happen to have any photos, do you?

Thanks!

 

If you're talking about an OEM system taken off a Nismo Z, all the pieces bolt on and are interchangeable. The OEM Nismo muffler is stainless, and has larger tips, but it's otherwise the same. No benefit/change in sound/performance, either, so I'm not sure I'd bother.

The Nismo S-Tune system is quite different. The S-Tune muffler will only bolt directly to the S-Tune mid-pipe, unless you fabricate an adapter to mate it with the original mid-pipe. But, the S-Tune mid-pipe will mate with an HR Y-pipe. I just went through all this last week:

Something is wrong here. You drive a G35?

 

haha

It's for a buddy of mine.

Thanks for the help dcains!

Take care

 

Who, me? No. Look at the angle and length of the input pipe on the two different mufflers.

 

He was talking about me I believe.

 

The OEM Nismo exhaust (not S-Tune) is a direct bolt-on, but the muffler will be tucked higher up. Not sure if that would affect anything on a regular Z. If you look at the first three mufflers in this thread, you can see the difference between the Fujitsubo Muffler (Exact same as the Nismo S-Tune) and the stock OEM Nismo muffler. Muffler placement is the only difference. If the muffler can hang higher, with no clearance issues, you are good. Tips will be in the right location as well.

 

Can anyone else confirm or deny that the OEM Nismo muffler is internally the same as a stock Z??

 

^^ Yeah it's the same except the Nismo is stainless and has larger tips.

 

great feedback guys... thanks! fujitsubo looks surgical!

 

Can't say I've ever sliced them open, but if you compare the welding marks on the outside of both, they're in exactly the same spots.
