if your so sure, show me some dyno sheets from the mfg. website.

and yes "meaty" does have specifications. you have much to learn...like the meaning of the ol' saying, "you get what you pay for"

We had ribs Friday night, and my wife and I both thought they were "meaty", but we didn't measure them.

You and Bruno should go to some Civic meets with your fake exhausts that you both say are just as good, if not better than the authentic exhausts. Such ricers on my350z I swear this forum is going to **** now that these children buy a $10k Z and think their badass and buy shitty cheap replica parts.

I was going to do a custom exhaust setup, but piping is piping. If it's a replica exhaust made of the same material and configuration I highly doubt it's much different.

Here's the video clip, I think it sounds amazing! No drone in the cabin and it has a really deep note at low RPMs but really screams up top.

Sounds and looks pretty damn good, especially considering what u paid for it.

As long as the welds hold up, I'd say you got a nice, fun, inexpensive setup.


btw, on your photo, hard to tell, does the exhaust not quite line up symmetrically with te rear body/bumper?

I'm missing a hanger on the pass side that I didnt find out about until I removed the stock cat back. Gotta call Nissan tomorrow and order one.

I wanted a little rasp after quick revs but normally driving it produces a very deep tone.

Sounds nothing like the Nismo S-Tune, but if you like it, that's all that matters.

Keep in mind I do have a y pipe, and HFCs. The Nismo can get pretty raspy with those supporting mods.

Tips dont line up at all to the bumper and sounds like crap compared to my nismo. But enjoy as you said the nismo is not worth the extra money!

I bet if you got the XYZ pipe from motordyne with the resonator attachment it would clean it up nice, my brother has a Nismo S-tune with test pipes and it definitely has a ton of rasp.
OP do a video after the car has properly warmed up and under load as well, free revving doesnt do any exhaust justice in my opinion.
Place the camera down somewhere on a straight side road and do a wide open throttle fly by through a few gears.

He has HFCs not Test Pipes, it shouldn't rasp at all.

Ehh HFC may as well be testpipes though lol
Plus i think the way the video was shot kind worked against OP
Low RPM free revving with most likely a cold engine recorded with what seems to be a phone.
Heres a video of my exhaust.
Test pipes, XYZ pipe w/ resonator, rest is Nismo s-tune . (wish i had a more subtle video lol all mine involve me doing something stupid) Those first couple Revs at the beginning sound like a$$ compared to what comes after.
But we will never know unless OP gives us a fly by video or something





*I dont know how to embed videos on here so im sorry if it doesnt work

I was missing a hanger and come to find out I took it to a muffler shop and $109 later they fixed a small leak and straightened my tips

New videos will come when the rain goes away and I have some light.
