He then proceeded to tell me that the biggest clog in the exhaust system in the Z after the cats is the stock muffler. Then offered me to remove the stock exhaust, install 2 glass packs, straight inline with the existing pipes to the tips. I also wanted to keep the stock tips which he did. The price he quoted me was $400 total.
I figured, it was worth the risk. If I didn't like it I wasted $400 but I could still order the FI. I have got to say, almost 3 years after installing, I am so happy that I made that decision. Saved me $1,500, sounds great, no drone, butt dyno immediately told me increased performance, almost 2 miles more per gallon and it looks great.
As some has mentioned, it maybe worth checking out some custom options that are much less expensive.

I hate to be this guy but you could have done the same thing but half the cost going with the topspeed axle back(can be found on ebay for around 260, 230 if you get the G37 version which is the same thing) for a little more then half the cost, the only issue you would run into is the tips sticking far out if you have a regular 370z, since they were designed for the nismo bumper they stick out farther
