Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Performance numbers or objective reviews of aftermarket exhaust vs Nismo

I have an FI CF CBE on order w/ 12" resonators, but the more digging I do, the more I realize that I haven't seen any performance numbers on aftermarket CBEs vs. the stock Nismo exhaust.

I'm really interested in understanding if these exhausts are actually less restrictive, more restrictive, or the same as the stock Nismo unit. Further, with the conversations I've had lately with people that have said it's possible you could actually lose power with these exhausts due to them being overly unrestrictive, I'm even more perplexed.

Does anybody have any pre/post CBE numbers for comparison with the Nismo? I know they are commonplace for the base Z. If not, I'd love to hear what your seat-of-the-pants feel was after installing the FI (or really any other aftermarket) CBE.

Thanks in advance.
