If you are looking at price you can't beat the Nismo, I think it is around 800-900 and includes the y-pipe, and the fujitsubo is that without the y-pipe, so if you go for the Fujitsubo it will be a little more.

I have the Fujitsubo stainless steel and just love the look, the tips are huge, and added the Japtrix y-pipe, sound is wild at WOT.

Well I didn't say it was the same exact exhaust but very similar. Fujitsubo makes them for Nismo and Nismo gave their Z exhaust a name Weldina. Japanese companies love giving names to everything. IT's possible Fujitsubo just gives Nismo the muffler specially made for them and Nismo makes the rest. Not sure but they are remarkably similar in sounds and performance. Get whatever looks nice to you essentially.

Plus I think the y-pipe from Nismo is not the optimum in shape still very similar to stock shape.

Top is pic is Nismo, bottome is Japtrix prototype, production is not painted.

Not sure, I have not heard a Nismo, but mine is pretty loud at WOT, at the track there was a a 350 with a Stillen exhaust one time and my son said that mine was louder as we came down the front stretch.

I did not notice that the Fujitsubo was any louder than the stock when I had mine installed. The sound tone is different. The Fujitsubo has a more exotic tone to it. After installing the Fujitsubo Y-pipe the exhaust did get a tad bit louder at WOT. The sound Level is anything but intrusive.

I thought it was a little louder at WOT but not more than stock at idle, it really went up when I added the Japtrix y-pipe, it is definelty louder than stock now and noticeably. Specially around the 4K rpm and up.

So weldina is not a company?

Does that mean the spec V nismo exhaust that says "weldina" on it is made my Fujitsubo?
