I plan to do the tune eventually, but will probably keep the stock intakes w/ post-MAF tubes and drop in filters... and already have HFCs; probably won't do the LTHs. I've heard horror stories about the install.
The driver side is a PITA! Drop the exhaust from the cats back took about 45 minutes. The right side header took about 1 and a half the drop the cat and factory manifold together, and install the FI header. The left side took about 5 hrs overall. The factory heat shield is what makes it hard. Only 3 bolts hold it on. Once you get them off. You have to turn/twist the heat shield upside down to remove it. That took about 3hrs to figure it out on how to do it. Once I got that out of the way. The factory manifold and cat was out in an hour. The FI header took about an hour to install. Now if I do it again. I could cut that time by half. :tup:

Do u mean the carbon fiber cans? If so then it does change the sound compared to the SS cans.

Sounds like you had a rough time lol only took me like 15 min to drop the exhaust but the cats and those damn demon bolts took me about 3 hours total to drop em. Test pipes went on easily and the cbe portion took maybe 10 min to bolt on

Just finished my install of an 18" CBE. Went well except the first bolt had to be the demon!
Sounds and looks great so I'm happy. My only issue is side to side alignment of the drivers can. Couldn't get it centered no matter what I tweaked. Anyone had this problem or know a fix? I've let Tony know too.

Oh, I wasn't aware that they changed the sound. Just the weight.

Lol, exhaust usually quiets down a little bit after it breaks in.

What is everyone doing with their stock exhaust?

dmhenderson 10-07-2012 08:36 AM
I'm selling my nismo exhaust to a kid in my car club for cheap.

Mine is in my garage for when I sell the Z in case someone wants it back to stock.

Z-Girl 12 10-07-2012 08:51 AM

I'm keeping mine too. I'll go back to stock before I trade mine in. The FI will probably still be worth $700 or more when the time comes.
