Nismo muffler is QUIET!
 

Finally got around to installing a Nismo exhaust on my Z (only installed the muffler - waiting on installing h pipe once I install everything else ready install for a tune) and man the car is so quiet now. Rev matching is now nearly 100% quiet if I'm shifting into under 4k rpm. Pretty eerie actually!

Sooo... Nismo owners, I imagine your mufflers are incredibly restrictive (basing that just off of sound). I'm imagining even with the h pipe it still won't be enough of a 'racey' sound. Should've just gone with Fast Intensions! Maybe some HFC's will help out?

On a side note, I turned on the car without any muffler, and it sounded really good! I love the 'pop' sound on throttle lift off.

Just thought I'd share.

Remove the resonators and go with HFC's or TP's. It would be plenty loud then :tup:

If you wanted loud you should of just went aftermarket period. Getting a Nismo exhaust is a slight upgrade but as far as sound there is no OEM exhaust that is loud unless your in the exotic car class.

oem nismo exhaust with h pipe flows amazingly but it isnt loud at all. Replaced mine and it still isnt loud lol (ark dts with resonators removed) but i like it subtle had an rx8 with cats removed and exoticspeed exhaust and that was loud and flames would come out the rear so i grew out of it lol

LOL!!!
C'mon... This isn't exactly new news


Fast Intentions FTW

:iagree: LOL!

Haha I agree! But I got a good price on a local pickup for the used exhaust. I was trying not to spend too much money modding the Z, but now I wish I had spent more. I've read those other threads but ill probably pull the trigger on that resonator delete and hfc's. not worth it anymore to buy a whole other exhaust.

Tips look great though!
