they both sound good, but the nismo takes the win because of its appearance.. the ap is for the jdm fanboi's who like the fart can style exhausts, also for people who put stickers all over their cars and especially their front bumper
Who cares what it looks like, if it makes power, it makes power.

Z = sports car, not a show queen.

It's a great track car that can be tracked from the factory after you replace the inadequate (small) stock tires. Even with the power deficiency DE Zs give E46 M3s a hard time. Why not use it for what it's meant to do?

There are a lot of options that make power. A single still looks fine, just take care of the other bumper opening.

comparing my nismo withi PIKESPEAK350's AP exhaust, both retain the VQ sound. His is a lot louder and deeper but sounds awesome like most singles on this car. Look wise, the nismo is a bit more of a grown up, classy look. Welds are nice, metal doesn't get rusty whatsoever, just over all quality. AP is nice as well but you lose that symmetrical look out of the rear.

Default So pumped

Well after a long MI winter, I was finally able to get the Motordyne Exhaust Installed. Street Legal Customs in Ferndale on Woodward (used to be in Royal Oak) hooked me up - if you live metro Detroit I highly recommend this shop.

First and foremost this exhaust is WICKED!!!!!

The sound is pretty much exactly like the video of the coupe driving around town that I posted originally;it much louder and deeper than stock and it is exactly what I was looking for. I highly highly recommend this exhaust!

It's been a few days now and I still haven't turned on my stereo. Thanks to everyone for all of your help.

Vids and pics to come shortly....
