I noticed on their website that they have an option for nismo now. i don't recall them having that when i ordered mine a couple of years ago. does this mean that the tips extend out more? it fit perfect on my Z but i got a 2015 nismo and swapped it to that but the tips don't come out all the way.

I'm #1320. Had mine installed couple weeks ago. I tried but couldn't break some nuts loose. Nothing I say hasn't been said before but figured I'd give them F.I. some well deserved appreciation. I also ordered the oil cooler and installed it too. These guys were amazing through the whole thing! I would buy every part I could from these guys!

First is the wait. No lie, no sugar coat, it freaking SUCKS! Especially towards the end. I just ordered it and forgot about it. I would do it all over again.

I have Non Resonated Carbon Fiber. I am so freaking glad I went with this. I paid good money and waited an eternity so I could hear my exhaust and I would have been extremely disappointed if it was any quieter! For me personally I can't imagine going with resonators. Only if you were going to change the Cats then maybe and MAYBE if it's a daily. Everyone's different. I will admit it does have a tiny bit of drone ONLY at certain RPM's in certain gears. 60 MPH in 6th = drone. 80 MPH in 6th = 0 drone. Basically my experience is lower speed, higher gear, lower RPM = a little tiny bit of very tolerable drone IMO. The sound is addicting! I am in love with my car now. I think I burn twice as much gas now just because I'm living in high RPM's. When I first called Kevin asking about the drone I told him that I was the guy who turns the radio off so I can hear the exhaust and he was like "you definitely need to go with Non Resonated." Point is, just like everyone else has said, if you like to hear your exhaust go with Non Res. If you're worried at all about the drone, go with 18" and call it a day. My wife hasn't complained 1 time about drone and she really does have a vagina! Just sayin!

Give these guys your business, you won't be disappointed!

I'm sure you will love it no matter what you ordered. And what little difference there is you'll probably never know because your sound will drown someone else's out anyway. Good thing is you can always increase volume by getting their HFC's or Test Pipes and you'll gain another 10HP. I didn't care about the cats because I hope to slap their turbo kit on someday anyway. Also if you're not happy you can usually find someone who would be willing to trade your 18" resonators for their Non Res setup. Non Res is obviously not for everyone or everyone would have it.
