Default Test pipes on the Nismo Z, sound crazy?

I have an order in for some resonated test pipes, I just wanted to know if anyone has had any regrets based on how the test pipes sound with the stock exhaust. I had a full Fast Intention exhaust system including resonated test pipes on my 06 and I liked it. Just curious as to what you fellow Nismo owners are thinking.

Why not trash the warranty right off the bat?I do agree that the exhaust needs to be a little louder.If you have a buddy that is a service writer I say go for it.Let us know how it sounds.

Probably more on the dealer you go to. I've gotten work done on my car with test pipes before.

Test pipes + Nismo = loud

I do like how it sounds though, just was a little too loud for me on the interstate.

Do you get a check engine light when you install test pipes?Do you have to run a plug in sim to make the ECU read that the cats are working?

that is pretty loud but sounds good. Was you being in the building making the sound exaggerate or that's basically how it sounds?

What year do you have? 04.5+ need nonfoulers installed to not get an SES light. I have an 03 and haven't had any problems.
