Hmmm..., the bottom image is of the CBE that I have, off of a Stock NISMO 370Z, and is a dual exhaust.

If the dealer showed you a NISMO with a y-pipe on it, he either put on all aftermarket NISMO parts and is trying to sell it as a stock NISMO or maybe you didn't get as good a look at it, as you thought...






Also, I believe, under the heat shielding where the pipe has an "H" appearance, there is no physical connection other than the shielding. They are two (2) separate pipes that happen to be joined by heat shielding.

Now, it is true the NISMO exhaust is a single muffler, but with two (2) separate chambers, therefore maintaining a dual exhaust set-up.

Hope that helps!
