I'm getting sick of my nismo cat back and i know this would be a downgrade. I wouldn't mind going back to a stock muffler but i want it to be new not used.

That looks just like what is already in this thread:

You can't expect much for that price, maybe spend some time in the marketplace for something used

so you want something a bit louder correct? Why dont you add art pipes or hfc? That hks knock off is prob gonna be as loud as your nismo with hfc, but with a shitty ricer sound

To be honest i wouldn't mind going back to a stock muffler w/ hfc's. I just don't know if my muffler assy-exhaust sub pipe will attach to the stock Z muffler.

Stay away,this stuff is junk.
One area that you never want to go cheap is exhaust components.

seriously? that's the ONE area you'd never skimp on? It's just some metal tubing that moves air. I think if you're on a budget this would be one place you could cut corners.

Tires, Suspension, engine components, safety equipment: these are areas you should not go cheap.

OP if you want a stock exhaust why not buy one used on here, there are people selling these things all the time in very good condition.

I unfortunately bought that very exhaust. The clips on Youtube sounded fine, so I thought, "How can you go wrong with exhaust that cheap?!" Well it turns out, although it sounds decent on the outside, it DRONES so badly in the cabin, that you will get headaches and your ears will bleed.

To partially cure this, people weld in a Magnaflow X-pipe muffler (I had to). It makes it sound a lot better, *however*, it still drones badly from 2200-2600 rpm. The rear mufflers are garbage. My last ditch effort to control drone is going to be heavily lining the hatch with dynamat.

Bottom line: don't get this exhaust unless you want to modify it a lot to make it way quieter in the cabin. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the Megan Racing exhaust was a lot less droney, but I'm not sure. Spend a little extra so you don't go deaf.

Poor quality resonators/mufflers are what contribute to the droning.

To put it in perspective, the amount of drone I've heard out of these exhaust is similar to my custom exhaust with only two mufflers these replicas have 6 resonators.

im missing ur reason here..if u want ur exhaust louder then why not add high flow cats or test pipes or something, why would you want an oem exhaust to be louder

what exactly do you want to achieve op? Are you looking for a louder sound? Different sound? Your nismo is too quiet or are you just bored with it?

Nismo with test pipes or HFCs sounds nasty in my opinion, but it all comes to personal preference. I'm just not dropping $1500 on a catback.
