Nismo, Injen or Borla, that is the question??? Which one is right? Duals or Y-pipe?? The dealership mechanics say Y the street guys say duals. I want to keep my low end torque & gain power. Yea, I know, I want it all & for a cheap price, too. Which one if the best way to go, price not being a factor on the exhaust?

 

I would go Inejn the quality is superb. Also it has a very nice sound, and good performance gain.

Thanks Glen

 

I'll also go with the Injen.

 

Go for looks and sound not power. The gains or losses on all three are comparable and the differences are probably within the margin of error of the dynos and environment.

You can hear sound clips and get a look at them from the SportZ Shootout done last fall:

http://www.sportzmagazine.com/exhaust.html

Don't let the single-Y/dual pipes throw you - the Nismo pipes are larger than the Borla or Injen. The Nismo exhaust is effectively 60% larger than stock, Borla is 100% and Injen only 40%. The bottom line is that you're probably not pushing 40, 60 or 100% more air then exhaust through your engine anyway.

Personally, I chose the NISMO for the sound and the fact that it has a lot fewer pieces than the Borla (3 vs. 17).

 

I went with injen, I wanted more sound. borla had everything against it, too many peices, not enough volume.

nismo, though I agree with dave, gains are well within dyno error, and individual results will vary, but injen on average is more power, I mean on the scale of <1hp. not really even worth mentioning.

but anyway, sound and looks, if you want lot of sound and dont mind the aftermarket look go injen, otherwise go nismo. unless you absolutely dont want more sound at all, and the cheapest, go borla.

 

You cannot go wrong with either one.

1. sound : go for Injen
2. performance : Borla, Injen, Nismo all within 1 - 3 hp
3. price on the low end : Borla
4. price on the high end : Nismo
5. Quality : all are top notch

All are damn good and you will get props for any.

If you can snag a good deal between ebay and anyplace, jump on it.

Flip a coin and decide.

 

I don't think qality of Borla and Injen are top notch. Especially if you compare them to RS-R, Greddy, APex'i, Amuse, Fujitsubo or other JDM exhaust.

 

Really did you ever see the Injen up close? The quality fitment is perfect, and the welds are superb. Almost everyone on here agrees Injen is one of the best, i have not heard otherwise yet. So if you dont think the quality is good, your one of the few that would think that.

Thanks Glen

 

I would go either Nismo or Fujitsubo.

 

For sound, performance and great quality APS Dual System.

The thread is not related to RS-R, Greddy, APex'i, Amuse, Fujitsubo or other JDM exhausts. They are excellent products also.

 

Thanks for that info.

 

Nismo and Fujitsubo Y pipe. WHy not go with stillen if the nismo is in your price range though? Stillen makes the best Exhaust. IMHO

 

Thanks for the info. By the way, what carwash are you going to? Nice attendant.

 

Thanks to all of you guys for your responses & advise.

 

Stillen for most power and torque!

 

I went with the NISMO and i lovve it. It has a very clean sound. The Stillen exhaust is 10 lbs heavier than the NISMO. FYI - Performance Nissan in Duarte,CA is having a sale on NISMO Exhaust for $839. I was going to go with the fujitsubo, but the Y pipe is sold seperately from the exhaust ($450 extra). The Y pipe is included in the NISMO exhaust pagage.

 

. . . since the Stillen exhaust is 10 lbs heavier than the Nismo, the small extra HP from the Stillen is offset by its heavier lbs.

 

The stillen is 20 lbs heavier than the nismo.
