NISMO Cat-back Exhaust System

2string1 · 06-09-2020, 01:20 PM

Will a NISMO Cat-back Exhaust System fit on a 2010 370Z Roadster? If yes what does it do for the sound?

From what I understand, it will fit. Several roadster owners discussed it in this thread:
Nismo OEM exhaust compared to aftermarket...

I had an OEM Nismo CBE on my Touring Z for several years. According to Nissan it is responsible for about 50% of the power gains on the Nismo Z, which equates to about 9hp. Although a little throatier then the base exhaust, it doesn't really add much growl. The difference is a little noticeable at start up and under full throttle, but its very tame under normal driving conditions.

Yes, the exhaust will fit, however, the tips will stick out an inch or so further out the back than your stock tips do. You'll notice a slight increase in sound, not that much.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know.

What are you looking for and how much do you want to spend?

pretty much a stealth mode setup when it comes to sound.

And that can sometimes be a good thing.

Definitely get the Nismo. It's the only OEM replacement that is 100% legal. Clean sound and good looks too.

The R-Tune

Then you should be happy with the Nismo cat back system. When I was looking for a true dual exhaust cat back, I drove a new Nismo. The increased difference in sound in the Nismo was so minimal compared to my car, that I opted to not get that system. I wanted a little more sound than what it provided. I wanted less stealth.

Agreed.

I also got rid if my NISMO system because I wanted a louder exhaust. My FI / Berk set-up is anti-stealth.

Happy with Megan Racing Axle back for sound enhancement on otherwise stock system.

There are actually two Nismo exhausts available: S-Tune, and R-Tune. R-Tune is a true dual all the way. It probably is a little louder as a result. For some reason the S-Tune costs more. Neither is the same as the exhaust that comes stock on the Nismo model.

There are actually three maybe four. The standard Nismo exhaust that comes from the factory, the S-Tune, and the R-Tune. There is also a Nismo exhaust offered in the 370 brochure, but no one has been able to give me a definitive answer if that is the same system that comes on the Nismo or not. The system I got was the R-Tune.

No, R tune is the Stock Nismo, Then the Nismo one you can buy is the S Tune.
