I asked one of the parts guys and he explained what the differences were..and he was saying some crap about how the Nismo parts are actually better than whats found on the stock Nismo. He also said that the Nismo was mainly built for appearance. I do not understand this whole thing since the Nismo has an extra 18 hp! Can someone please explain! I think the dealer was backwards. I just want to know why my NISMO exhaust looks different from the one on the REAL 370z NISMO!

That confirms what I was told as well. I mentioned it somewhere on another post a couple months back but some people mentioned that it wasn't the case. At the time, I only knew that the 350Z nismo aftermarket exhaust was different than the one on the 350Z Nismo stock exhaust.

Yea...it has been confirmed. And aparently the parts you buy from Nissan are better than factory parts..somehow..I don't know. Don't care anymore..I'm going in a different direction. I have Nismo S-tune exhaust and stock exhaust to sell before I'm able to buy what I now want

So is there a difference in the two ?

Yea.. Genuine (?) Nissan parts are stock parts. Nismo S-Tune parts are better for performance. ( so I was told)
