FI CBE - 2015 Nismo

brewops · 05-13-2016, 03:17 PM

I inquired FI about the fitment of the pre-15 CBE on my 2015 Nismo and was advised that the fitment had to be adjusted by 2.5" to accommodate the larger Nismo bumper. Does anyone have any pics of a 15/16 Nismo with an older FI CBE installed? Looking at purchasing locally but I want to be sure on the fit before committing.

Thanks!

So you have a sport/base model exhaust?

It will work but it isn't going to look right IMO. Maybe ask FI if they can build you a new axle back portion and sell the mufflers to someone who damaged theirs or still have a V1 system?

If so, this is what a sport FI exhaust looks like with the new Nismo bumper.

I don't have the FI yet, just trying to do all the right research pre-sale. As @terribleone suggests, I'll see if they can fab just the axle back.

I thought they already were making exhausts specifically for the new Nismo.

That's just what I was looking for actually. Definitely looks a bit tucked in vs stock. Seems like there might be issues with build up since it doesn't exit behind the bumper. Had any problem or noticed anything?

Yea they are and sent me pics. I just have an opportunity to pick up a non-nismo setup locally used which would definitely save the bucks and wait time.

So the picture I posted, gives you the idea of how it would look.

TerribleONE · 05-13-2016, 03:50 PM

I wouldn't do it unless you order a new axle back setup from FI and sell the original one. That really looks bad IMO

Can't tips just be extended at any muffler shop?

Thats an interesting idea, I have never asked.

TerribleONE · 05-13-2016, 04:44 PM

Yea I am sure it can be done I just wouldn't want anyone hacking up my FI CBE but that's just me.

Don't let that happen. This is a high quality piece and a hack job would look like crap.

I bet it would be harder too since its less than 3 inches. What I don't want to happen is to spend $$ on the axel back and never find a buyer for the old setup.
