Also, I read that the Nismo muffler is heavier to quiet the exhaust more than the non Nismo muffler. Maybe a Nismo H pipe and mid pipe with non Nismo muffler is the answer? Thoughts?

HKS Hi Power is a nice quiet exhaust that performs better than the stock Nismo. And by the way, aftermarket tunes in California are being banned by the EPA so it won't pass smog.
