I spot a Tomei titanium exhaust. It looks like gold in person, beautiful, light weight and amazing sound note. Great choice on exhaust mod. For single exhaust setup, Tomei is all the way, I would not buy anything else.

They were actually Work wheels. Not sure why a lot of people thought they were Varrstoens. Thanks Bmurray!

Nah they werent. He must've lied to your local crew. I used to talk to TJ often on facebook until i called him out on it one day and he blocked me because i embarrassed him :/ He also had some CE28 rep varrstoens and he claimed they were authentic volks as well. lol.

Didn't know that man. I could've sworn those were Works since when he got them it all had the official Work wheels box.

As for the stock vs Tomei. The rear Nismo muffler section was 27.5 lbs, while the rest of the rear section of the exhaust before the y pipe weighed in about 10 lbs. So roughly around 40 lbs gone. It definitely woke the whole car up.
The reason I choose Tomei vs Amuse or any other JDM brand is because of the affordable price on full titanium constructed material exhaust and no long wait. Also, I like their slip joints design makes it easy to install and adjust the exhaust for clearance issue. Most important, it makes power.
Are you running their y pipe too, and PPE LTH? If not yet, these should be your next mods. Trust me, you would love the sound even more.

Right, that is exactly why I went with Tomei. Didn't have to wait 3 months for it to come in overseas. I'm getting the Tomei Y Pipe soon. Still running the stock y pipe and stock cats. I plan on dynoing it once I get the car back from warranty work. Then I'll dyno again with the y pipe to see the difference. I've thought about PPE Headers, but for right now I just want to get the y pipe and drive the car some more. haha

Assume this is on an HR, right?

I am so addicted to the sound now, I just want to step on WOT when I got a chance to drive it on the street. On the track, it's heaven.

Yup, he's the other white nismo to my left in that above picture. Haha, that was me when I was in the tunnel on the way home after the install. lol
