Stock Nismo Exhaust Needs More Growl
Hi Guys,
Looking to get a little more growl from my stock 2010 Nismo exhaust. I'm not looking to spend over 1000 on a crazy exhaust system yet, I'm thinking something closer to $500. Growl is good, HP is a bonus.. So with that in mind, are Berk HFC the best option? Also something pretty straight forward (bolt-on), that is also not going to be blowing engine lights/codes, or causing me other problems. Remember this is a Nismo stock exhaust.. Thanks

HFC is a great option, definitely add some needed growl and a nice performance bump.

HFC or Test Pipes... With test pipes being the much louder option.

Well Berk seems to be the brand of choice I've noticed on here.
My only concern with playing with the Nismo exhaust, is that I understand most of the HP gains over the base Z's is the Nismo exhaust system. So although my goal is not really HP gains but more growl, I also don't want to lose HP in the process. And a side note, are the Berk HFC the same part number for both base model and nismo?

Aren't they just straight pipes that replace the cats? I'd like to at least try and be able to pass the emissions test LOL, at least the visual check

Yea a Test Pipe is a straight pipe, not cars no resonaters nothing. The ones Fast Intentions sells should keep your CEL off, you wont pass a visual but I have never failed from a visual inspection. Its rare

Berk buys from a 2nd source, they do not fabricate their own pipes. The wait time is excruciating. I got lucky when I bought mine. I think the current group buyers have been waiting since April for their exhaust. If you don't mind waiting (it sounds like you want the growl NOW), it's a great choice.

Is it really that bad getting them.
I saw them in TheZstore.com, you think there's a long wait with them also. Although saying that, I've ordered a couple of things from Z store, only to be told my order is 8 weeks backorder. I just cancelled my orders with them LOL
