This thread will be dedicated to all aftermarket exhausts available for the new Z34. I will be trying to focus on products that either have not been introduced to the community yet; or at least shed a little light on products that have not received a lot of exposure here at the370Z.com.
The first exhaust that I would like to focus on is from a company called MCR. This is an amazing exhaust that deserves to be the first product posted on this thread. Many enthusiasts, especially Nissan owners, have at least heard of MCR.
MCR is a relatively small company that has won a few awards in the past; one example is during Touge runs on Best Motoring International DVDs with their famous R34, and they are always looking to push the envelope in order to see what can and what cannot be done.
For this particular exhaust, MCR sourced the services of Nippon Steel; Nippon Steel is the company that fabricates the exhausts for Amuse/Ericsson, Tracy Sports, and a few other reputable companies.
The Front pipe portion is fabricated from SUS304 stainless steel; the rear section is full titanium. This exhaust saves 13.4kg (29.54 lbs.) in weight. Obviously an exhaust of this quality will be providing significant power gains, how much exactly I am not sure at the moment. The exhaust is fabricated with the main piping diameter being 60mm then flowing into two 115mm tips (double tube finishing).
As I mentioned earlier, this exhaust by MCR and all of the Amuse exhausts are fabricated by Nippon Steel. Of course each has their own unique sense of purpose and functionality but they are all quite similar. The reality is that we try to keep our inventory as versatile as possible and one of the most effective ways to do so is to feed off of the opinions of the members of communities such as the370Z. Please let me know what you think.

Here is another exhaust fabricated at Nippon Steel.
I have seen this exhaust scattered throughout the forum boards, but I would just like to shed a little bit more light on this unique product.
This exhaust is designed by a pioneer called Powerhouse Amuse. Powerhouse Amuse was one of the first aftermarket car companies to source the services of Nippon Steel. Amuse is an extremely versatile company that tunes wonders with many different cars, ranging from S2000's, to 350Zs, to the new R35 GT-R. To this day Amuse is still standing strong as one of the leading tuners in the industry.
With weight savings being among the best that you will see, power gains being extremely significant when compared to other exhausts; this is top notch. When customers purchase an exhaust from Amuse, they are offered different options to modify the appearance of the exhaust via gradation finishes in order to express their personal tastes.
Here are a few pictures including dyno read outs. Please let me know what you think:
