I guess I am wondering if anyone has taken apart the mufflers themselves. I found it surprising that the NISMO muffler would be so much heavier than the stock, unless it is actually quieter to reach a similar decibel range but more efficient due to the "true dual" H pipe setup. One of the complaints I have read on the forum was around the sound output being virtually the same with the NISMO vs the stock. Where I am going with this is in regards to the weight vs performance vs sound. I would have presumed that the NISMO system and more specifically the muffler's weight would have been lighter than stock, not heavier.
