I have a feeling this kit wouldn't work too well with a nismo exhaust setup. We also have the stabilizer bar in the front that may be in the way.

How so? I have not even done any exhaust work yet, and it looks like it is the same as the regular OEM exhaust.




Also, all cars have stabilizer bars...

just an fyi, that pic is of a nismo s-tune exhaust. The OEM nismo exhaust uses an h-pipe configuration.

sorry I didn't mean stabilizer bar. I meant the dampener bar.



Ron posted the nismo exhaust. The S-Tune has the y-pipe.

As for the dampener, I don't think it is that important as it can be removed and wouldn't cause any problems.

Ahhh, I see that is different then. Cell is right, the down pipe would not bolt up to that.


With boost, an aftermarket exhaust is always a good idea anyway because the OEM mufflers are usually baffled too much, and impede flow. I have cut some apart, and they are just horrible as far as flow goes.

The Nismo may be better than a regular OEM exhaust, but still baffled. A true straight through muffler is best for forced induction.

agreed. Just brought it up because it popped into my head.

When, ever you go into production with your kit, I may end up having you make a custom exhaust setup with the kit. That is if you do not mind.

As of right now I have CNT TP installed and had the resonators removed. Sounds pretty good to me throaty, little rasp at high RPM though. Now after this kit is installed on my car I would more than likley want to run a 3" all they way back with some type of resonators and a couple of invidia mufflers.

Update day 3:

So I spent a lot of time screwing around with this charge piping going from the turbo to the FMIC, and I can finally say that I am very happy with the way it is turning out.

The section of pipe in front of the driver side wheel stays the same:



It does change after that, making a turn running behind the radiator:



Looping through to the back:






I am very happy with the clearances, but an oil relocation kit will be needed. When the car is down, the clearance increases even more because the sway bar dips down another 1.5”.




I think the hard part is now done. On the back end the exhaust will go smoother because there is much more room to work with. Now I just have to wait for the turbo to arrive. In the mean time I will be ordering an oil relocation kit, and building the charge piping to the TB’s.

Where are you thinking of putting the oil cooler
