(couldn't find it on SEARCH or YouTube.)

Somebody from NW forum explained the difference (Pacwfu?) between NISMO vs NISMO S-Tune vs Weldina exhaust. The latter having a smaller dia tip? I can't find that thread where he explained it.

Also, there's no posting of just the Nismo exhaust w/out any CATs so its hard to gauge the sound accurately. I know the Nismo retains the VQness sound, but just a little louder, no drone or rasp and doesn't lose power on the bottom end.

Looking to buy from West Covina Niss soon. Any help is appreciated.

 

The Factory Nismo has the same 2-1/2" piping that is stock on all z's. It's only the muffler that's different. I don't know if the internals of the muffler is the same as stock, but it pretty much just looks like a factory muffler with stainless steel instead of the satin black paint of stock. The outlets on the muffler are a bit different due to the way the tips are positioned. And of course the tips are huge.

The S-tune y-pipe has a 60mm inlet and a 3" outlet and the rest of the exhaust is a single 3" pipe. Muffler is angled different so you can actually see it (bling factor) and the tips are about the same size as a standard 350Z's, but oval instead of totally round.

The s-tune exhaust is a very good exhaust. If you drive normally, you probably won't even know you have an exhaust on the car. When you drive with a bit heavier foot, it sounds like a properly tuned performance car should. A bit deeper, and tiny bit louder, but sounds right. Lower your voice a little, and say "whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr". That'll give you an idea.

 

What you need is the Nismo S-Tune.

I never heard of a regular Nismo exhaust, except for the Nismo muffler that comes on the Nismo edition Z. I think you are referring to that. Someone put that on a regular Z and the tips hung down so low that it looked very dissoriented.

If you are going to get a Nismo exhaust, get this one:

$1k for exhaust? Fukc, these cars are expensive to mod.

 

you can find it cheaper than 1k but you need to look

 

Amuse R1 Titan = $3100. Yes you can pick it up much cheaper, if $2700 for an exhaust is cheap these days...

 

No the S-Tune Exhaust is under $800.

so these are Nis S-Tune? or Nismo mufflr?

Thanks for the clarification. "whirrrrrrrrrrrrrr"? you mean this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3YQrfOOC1o

 

any of these good for the price? http://hopupracing.com/exhaustsystems3.html They're just down the street from me.

 

Nismo S-Tune is definitely what I'm interested in too. Just itchin' to push the "buy now" button at West Covina Nissan

If someone local in the Bellevue area has one I could hear in person that would be awesome. PM me to set up a meet

 

Shipping to WA is $150 I think.

 

If you're going without cats (what I got from your first post)... I don't think you would want the Nismo exhaust. I heard it rasps like crazy with test pipes. Hi flos or stock cats should sound orgasmic with it though

 

Yeah, if you click on that nismoshop link and enter your zip code, it's around $112 shipping to the Bellevue area.

I love the youtube clips of the Nismo with the Berk HFC's, I downloaded every one of them I could find and listen to them daily. But there's are lot of people saying that the Nismo exhaust will eventually cause TP's or HFC's to crack. So I'm a little leery of going with the Nismo/Berk HFC combo. But it sounds so awesome, I might just have to do it.

I'm also considering the Bassani, there's a GB for $890 shipped.

The Bassani sounds awesome from what I can tell, but the muffler sits a little off center and has single wall tips, those are the only two things holding me back on the Bassani.

 

Check out the Borla TD? Has double wall tips and sounds awesome with test pipes

 

Maybe the HKS TD or EvoTT. But they're for F/I? for N/A is it better to go w/ Nismo S-tune or JIC full Ti?

 

JIC FULL TI!!!!

You might want to hold out till the end of this week or early next week. Hydrazine is debuting a new exhaust system by Motordyne called "Shockwave". Motordyne's previous products have been nothing but spectacular, so I would wait to see what the real deal is, especially since its only a few days.



edit: HKS TD is not for F/I ... it is a very good N/A exhaust.

 

just go with a 2.5" true dual exhaust. Nismo is a single exhaust if I remember right.

 

yeah looks impressive, but it aint gonna be cheap....

you will be surprise.

 

I can't imagine it costing more than ~$800 ....
