I've been back and forth about what type of exhaust to get for my '16 Nismo. I was absolutely set on getting a Tomei exhaust, but after thinking about it and doing plenty of research, I've changed my mind. I want to go with a Motordyne Shockwave.

I honestly think the Tomei would be WAYY too loud and I don't need more reason for the po-po to pull my *** over. I also think the Motordyne exhaust sounds the cleanest, and keeps the true VQ engine tone. I would buy an ARMYTRIX exhaust if I wanted to spend $3k on an exhaust, but the $2k price for the Motordyne is fine by me.

Does anyone know if I need to buy a mid pipe, (Y or X) for the Motordyne (it may come with an x-pipe)? I know that you need to buy a y-pipe for a Tomei. Also, does anyone know where the best and cheapest place to purchase the exhaust would be?

Thank you for your help! Comments are greatly appreciated!

 

Tomei is extremely loud and will need the y pipe
Motordyne will come with the full catback. great sound and vband clamps are a nice touch
ARK which is another option has a pretty nice x pipe which i prefer but no vbands
HKS is also a very nice sounding exhaust
