Thanks to Nissan safety engineers

I know in the past when I totaled my 2009 370z the insurance company allowed me to remove my exhaust as long as I replaced it with the stock. They said I could remove anything I wanted as long as it was replaced with an equal part. So I went to the body shop with my own tools and removed the exhaust. Dumped the factory one in the trunk as it wasn't required to be attached. Removed the K&N drop in filters and replaced with factory ( I had removed the factory when they were still very low mileage and the pack rat I am I never threw away). I removed the rear trunk shade and inner consul tray as those were options, not standard equipment.

I then bought a 2010 NISMO and used all those parts on it. So just check with your insurance adjuster and see if they will allow you to make a swap. Assuming you have all the factory parts
