My question is, I've been told I'd get better gas mileage with an upgrade to Nismo Pipes and Nismo intake. I know it'd sound better. Also I don't want to void the warranty. For around 2 grand. I don't want to me it crazy fast or anything. Guy at Nissan also stated it would bump my hp up to around 350 and would be faster than the Nismo due to the weight difference. Any experts around?

Thanks,
Kip
IMO unless you're buying a full Nismo 370z exhaust(not the Nismo Stuned exhaust) i wouldnt even bother with a nismo exhaust

as far as intakes goes, the Nismo intake is practically the Injen intake with a bypass valve(to ensure the motor wont suck up water if you happen to submerge your normal filters) but it isnt really worth the $600 price tag associated with it

now if you want cheap power, the factory air box is already a cold air system so you can just do drop in filters and HPS Post MAF tubes and make about the same as most of the CAI out there
