I'm thinking about testing that out to see how it sounds, and then I'm going with the obvious tune, uprev
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.

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

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!
