Default NISMO Vs Fast Intenions Cat Back?

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.

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
