Default NISMO Exhaust Alternative?

Hi guys,
Looking for an exhaust that sounds like the nismo exhaust. I love the sound of the nismo but can't find them for sale used so trying to find one closer sounding to it and maybe on the cheaper end as well. If u know of one that does tell me what it is.
Thanks

I believe there was a thread created in the last two days with someone selling a used Nismo exhaust. Search for it?

If you want a NISMO sound you're best bet is to buy one. Forget about cheating out on this. You can get them used for less than 600.00.

just keep looking for used nismo exhausts to pop up on the classifieds. As said before, don't buy a replica, their garbage, I don't care what anybody says, especially the jackasses that were saying the replica is better then the authentic.

New ones go for $1200, you can usually find used ones popping up for $400-$600.

The Invidia Gemini Titanium catback or the Invidia N1 sounds almost like the nismo exhaust. But nothing beats the real thing, here take a gander and turn up the volume. I can't find a video with someone that didn't put test pipes on it though.

The invidia doesn't sound anything like the nismo, especially the n1. I had the invidia and it was too loud. I heard the nismo is a little louder then stock. I'm looking for a nismo also.

Hey man, I said "almost". I also meant the titanium one not the N1. And the Nismo is slightly louder than stock, it sounds a lot more deeper and it almost sounds like my Z is an exotic.

OP if you want a NISMO you need to just spend some time in our marketplaces

There are always versions popping up for sale on the forum you just need to be patient

Nismo all the way, the etched "NISMO" on the tailpipes looks great too.

1. motordyne
2. Borla or Stillen, yes it's a tie
3. ARK

The top 3 I would buy. I own #1. Then, for a street car that I just want a little more sound/performance , the above followed by.
1. Tanabe hyper medallion touring
2. Nismo
3. Any other OEM style aftermarket system.

SGM put thier long tubes on a nismo, not exactly apples to apples but you'll get an idea.

Also, like what others have said hang out in the classifieds. Motordyne use to have a setup like the nismo. There's a video of it on YouTube, Motordyne vq exhaust or something like that.

Haha my bad dude. I didn't mean it in a bad way. I just wanted to make sure he didn't get the n1 because that is one loud *** exhaust.

I had a Gemini and loved it!!!! I won't go nismo because true dual is the only way for me. I will buy a motordyne next or go back to the Gemini. A
Nismo just popped up in the so cal marketplace so check it out.
