they also do not change the sound of the car

and i fully disagree with you, the nismo stune exhaust is only good for about 7whp while the Stillen and other CBE systems are good for 15-18whp

ya its lighter but so are other aftermarket exhaust systems and those are cheaper and give you more power and the Nismo Intake is literally the Injen CAI with a Bypass valve you could buy the Injen CAI for $100 less than a nismo intake and gain the same power

Nismo parts are a great example of paying for the name and not the part
