Nismo stock mid pipes vs aftermarket
Got another question for all you people that are much smarter than I am. I have the '16 nismo and this obviously comes with it's True Dual exhaust setup. My question is, do you think it is better to leave the mid pipes as is and only change cats/muffler? Or so you think changing the mid pipe, whether it be to an aftermarket H or X pipe is better? This is for both sound and power gains

the cats are the biggest power restrictor that can be addressed with bolt ons
this really isn't new ground if emissions are not a factor, a full long tube header that eliminates the cat + exhaust + long tube intakes are the best you can do a less invasive alternatives is stock header but test pipes (plenty of choices) and exhaust and an even less aggressive option is a resonated High flow cat like Fast Intentions + exhaust the exhaust is primarily for sound how you deal with the cat affects power more and then there's a variety of cold air intake choices there's nothing stock, nismo or not, that you're going to be keeping, the bolt on level replaces all that crap read the threads about these topics, there are many EDIT: is turbo is in your future, don't waste money on headers that will be replaced anyways with a turbo manifold

Good info here Nissan actually did a excellent job with their H pipe design and exhaust/muffler as far as design and being a “true” dual exhaust that flows well. The Nismo H pipe is manufactured by HKS and I would consider keeping it. The exhaust/muffler is more for sound really there is not a lot to gain there. The biggest restriction is the stock Nissan OEM catalytic converters and there is something to gain by switching in terms of power. The Nissan OEM headers are not a huge restriction in the exhaust system but, quite a bit can be gained by installing longtube headers if you have no emissions testing and have the extra coin to install them. Also a great way to remove restriction and be cost effective would be to install high flow catalytic converters or test pipes. Before purchasing exhaust you should listen to other people’s exhaust set ups in person on their Z or listen to exhaust clips on places like YouTube etc. I have had the AAM Competition HFC’s and test pipes installed they were a great bang for the buck.

I am looking at getting the Nismo R-Tune cat-back exhaust kit to replace the stock pipes. Is that what you mentioned in the above post? |

Yes Dave fantastic choice the Nismo R-Tune catback exhaust really has a terrific exhaust note a specially when paired with the AAM test pipes.
