The standard, non-Nismo, Y pipe is kind of small. When I swapped in my second-hand Nismo exhaust I was impressed by how much larger (particularly the H pipe) and less constricted it was and how its pipe diameter (larger) was a better match for the stock cats. You can often find take-off Nismo exhausts for about $400, just make sure it isn't dinged up. Since the Nismo exhaust is stainless steel it lasts practically forever too. It has nice large "Nismo" logo tips and if you take care of it you can sell it for what you paid if you ever go F.I. If you're into that sort of thing, it makes your Z "Nismo Equipped" too.
Spoiler alert: It's not very loud but you can always do the 'washer mod" for a bigger sound.
