See, the FI exhuast on a regular Z is good for about 15-18hp while the NISMO exhaust is only good for about 7hp over a stock regular 370z. So it stands to reason that the FI exhaust on a NISMO 370z will only get you about 7-10hp. The car does pull stronger, especially in the mid and higher rpms. Thas what I noticed at least. And it sounds ten times better than the NISMO too.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! I'm driving a Sport Touring that the original purchaser ordered with a Nismo exhaust. As I understand it I should be able to realize a 15-20 gain by swapping out the exhaust and getting a tune. It's on the edge of being worth it.
