Hi guys, I have a quick question for the Nismo owners. How happy are you with you Nismo Cat back? I have an 04 roadster and I am going to just do an intake (most likely a pop charger) and cat back exhaust. I am either going to get Nismo or Fast Intentions. I am getting a 50% split of opinions either way. I am thinking the FI might be a bit loud though. Is the FI worth spending the money on over Nismo? I have hear some say the Nismo is great but others say it is not much better sounding than stock?

I am in Australia so I can't afford to make a mistake.

Hear from you soon.

 

Are you referring to the Factory Nismo exhaust or the Nismo s-tune exhaust?

The Factory Nismo exhaust is just a muffler with the standard piping on all '07/'08s. It sounds nice, but not much different than stock and you aren't gonna get much of a performance gain.

The Nismo s-tune exhaust is the full cat-back 3" system. I had it on my previous car and liked it. Yeah, it's not much louder than stock, but it deepens the tone and sounds really good.

If you're talking about the s-tune exhaust instead of the Factory Nismo exhaust, you might be better off posting this in the intake/exhaust sub-forum.

 

I believe it is the S-Tune Exhaust I am looking at. Sorry I thought the Nismo exhaust was the same on the Nismo model.

 

fast intensions for sure.

 

+1 atleast over the nismo. check out aam true dual exhaust. don't have it on mine but i do have a custom set up that sounds nice. the aam from what i've seen in person and from i've heard in person is awesome all the way around.

 

Stillen All The Way!!!!...way Better Quality, Highest Rated In Terms Of Performance!!! And Better Sound...does Not Sound Like A "rice Burner" Like Nismo.

 

I heard the Stillen is really heavy. Even worse than stock. Is that true? I don't think the Nismo sounds like a rice burner

 

I would say fast intentions but it is a Nismo Z so stay Nismo...you would be taking away from the essense of the car.

 

The only Nismo products i would buy would be exterior body parts and or clothing.. Nothing else

 

I don't own a Nismo Z.

 

LOL - few would say that.
