Don't worry about the smell or rasp, its not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. With my set up I couldn't even hear the rasp/hiss the test pipes make, before the axle back I could but the car was a lot quieter with the stock Nismo muffler. As long as your exhaust is fully resonated(would have 4 resonators if you go with your setup) you won't get any rasp. And I couldn't smell the gas unless I was at a red light and had the windows down. People behind me on the other hand now that's a different story. I've had my friends complain about the smell when they would follow me places.

You wouldn't happen to have a video of the way it sounds would you? What exact set up did you have? Yeah I wasn't too worried about the rasp , nothing a resonator or two can't fix, the smell im not worried about. Its the performance and the sound. Those are the only things I care about.

but you have straight pipes :wtf2:

I kind of like the sound of that. I might just give that a try, thanks bro.

:owned::icon18:

But they are Fast Intention straight pipes. Not local muffler shop straight pipes. There is a difference despite the simplicity :twocents:

No worries bro. Glad I could help.

And your point is? In a few pumps of a jack and 4 bolts I got mufflers again. Go find a way to do that with any other aftermarket set up :tiphat:

Any thoughts on obx test pipes, they look crazy but haven't seen anyone with them? Anyone know anything about these?

A shop can fab that with ease, all you really need is the flanges from the stock exhaust :tiphat:

or buy them from Z1, or anther shop, online, or your local hardware store. yes it's not a difficult concept to make BUT no one else has them on/for FI :tiphat:

Look I'm with the original poster. I have plenty of money to dump into the exhaust but I don't want a 4k titanium exhaust I don't have a Ferrari and I accept that. I bought the car because it's what I wanted. However I want to tweak it just a little to be mine. I actually like the stock Nismo exhaust.

I'm just trying to get a 2.5 all the way through before I go have mine tuned. GL original poster here's what I've found so far

Garageline = TurboXS 500 a little louder than stock a lot of good reviews (out of stock) if you find this anywhere in stock let me know please :(
CNT 500 people give it decent reviews.
Top speed 500-700ish

Just a few I saw while looking for what I want. I'm looking for exactly what garage line and turbo XS make a 2.5 inch system I can bolt up to my berks back to my Nismo Muffler. Hope this helps some. Get what you like, not what others want for you!

Couldn't have said it better, difference is the thickness of your wallet. ;)


Jokes aside, im a fan of FI, Just hate straight pipes, so I like to troll FP :icon18:
