I have decided to buy an exhaust system for my 2007 Z. I have it narrowed down to two systems HKS & Nismo, but have only heard them on Youtube. If there is anyone in the Danville, San Ramon, area has one of these systems, I would like to check out your car and listen to what it sounds like before I drop a bunch of money. Thanks

 

I can tell you that my experience with the HKS matched up with Injen CAI & Berk HFC sounded nasty and raspy.

 

Fixed.

I'd guess either would make a satisfied customer. The Nismo laser etching on the exhaust looks cool. Worthless, but nonetheless cool.

 

^ lol. I'd go with HKS.

 

i got a nismo exhaust with an HR Y pipe and cat delete pipes and it sounds real good, you cant even hear it when its just idling warmed up, i'd go nismo if not just you dont screw up your 5/30,000 warrenty

 

Nismo is a beautiful exhaust, it's like the stock exhaust on steroids!

 

I should have been a little more clear... On my 2008 HR with my combo sounded nasty. For some reason on the DE motor the HKS sounds better.

I have not tried the Nismo exhaust yet.

 

the HKS sounds sick on my friends rev up, not sure about the HR though...look into bassani true dual and AAM tP

 

I have NISMO on mine with the NISMO Headers, and Vortech S/C. I like the sound...Say no more...
Hks amd Nismo both have excellent reputations though. Oh yes the etching doing look nice, but nothing to do with the sound and have to bend down to see it.

 

ascotflyer, go to local meets I guarantee someone will have one or another. . .Nismo exhaust in youtube videos don't really sound the same as in person. .

 

The Nismo system sounds awesome to me. It's the perfect note at the right volume. The HKS system is too loud for me.
