Louder NISMO

FrancoPhoto · 04-01-2012, 10:17 PM

i just got my nismo 2 days ago. I love it
I'm still breaking it in but I'd like to know if where is a way to make the nismo exhaust a bit louder.
This car already turns heads but I want the sound to go with it now. That's the only mod I'm looking to do .

Can anyone shed some light ?

Headers or test pipes

the NISMO exhaust is actually kind of crappy in terms of performance and tame in terms of sound. The first week of ownership I swapped out the exhaust for fast intentions with 18 inch resonators and carbon fiber mufflers. Much better in sound while not annoyingly loud and gained more power too. Test pipes, high flow cats, and headers are another way to go while keeping the stock NISMO exhuast. Personally headers is too much trouble. With high flow cats there are still people who have issues with throwing a CEL. And with test pipes you have to worry about swapping them at time of smog. Changing the exhaust was just easier. I mean the other mods aren't that big of a pain but having come from doing years of modding of my 280z and 300zx I wanted to go more low key with my 370z.

This is what I would do . Can you explain a little more in this ?

Get a set of F.I. HFC's and 18" resonated F.I. exhaust and call it a day! No codes and great sounds. Just call and talk to Tony.

I really don't want to change the exhaust I want the car to be stock . I bought it as a nismo so I didn't have to do work to it

Sorry.. but if you dont want to mod the car the exhaust wont be able to really be made it louder... +1 for the fast intentions exhaust, just leave the cats stock and you will not have any smog problems

I put a set of Berk HFC's on mine and left the rest stock. I think it maybe added a little sound but really just a little. Felt a decent seat of the pants gain but that could just be a placebo justifying the money spent.

just get Hi Flow Cats (test pipes if you have no emissions testing), then it will be louder. This will net about ~10-20 whp too.

There is always the exhaust washer mod

What do you mean by emissions ?

How about removing the resonator ?
