Default Exhaust Question.

Will this muffler give me a slightly better tone at idle and create no drone. I have a 2010 Roadster and I don't want a loud exhaust. The top will be down most of the time. I have a Jeep with a Hemi and a Corsa exhaust so I get my jollies off that. Just looking for a little bit of deep rumble while it's idling and at throttling. I can sort of hear it now but just looking for a little bit more, but noticeable.
Nismo 370z HKS Muffler Will this bolt right on?

I ran a NISMO OEM Cat-back on my base 370 for a few years. I had the entire system though. The NISMO exhaust has a little more growl, which is slightly noticable at start up and under WOT. It has no drone and really isn't noticable under normal driving conditions. The entire system breathes a little more freely then the base exhaust. Because if which, Nissan claims it is responsible for half of the additional HP the NISMO produces (approx. 8hp). I don't know how much of a difference this will make without the rest of the CBE though.

Will the Nismo catback bolt right on with no modifications?

It will bolt bolt up to a standard OEM exhaust with no modification. But in my honest opinion, it is no louder than the standard muffler as far as sound is concerned. Actually, I found the stock Nismo exhaust is quieter overall than the standard which is idiotic on Nissan’s part. Found this out when comparing my 2016 Nismo with my friend’s 2010 regular Z with no mods. He also agreed his was slightly louder. Weird!!!!

But, it is a straight-through design which may give you a few ponies.

I agree with that. When I was looking for a CBE I went to the dealer and drove a new Nismo. I couldn't tell the difference in sound volume between my car and the Nismo. I wound up getting the R-Tune. It is louder than stock and much nicer sounding. A true dual exhaust.

Well I guess I'll stay stock. I don't want an aftermarket one because I think it will be to loud in my vert.

Megan Racing Axle back is your friend. Zero modification needed to install. Zero drone and not obnoxiously loud. I guarantee you'll be happy with it.

Nismo tips are also longer then non-Nismo tips.

And also look nicer, although that is subjective.
