Talk me out of it? Into it? I like that it won't affect the warranty and should fit well, and I do not want a super-loud racing type exhaust anyway. But a little louder than stock would be good.

Have any of you guys or gals heard one? Unfortunately I have not had the chance to hear one in person. I miss the "burble" of the 350Z on the highway a little. That's the only thing I miss, though.

hi davey

i think the nismo catback is only slightly throatier. if you want sports car sound, you will probably want to get something else.

i would get the nismo if my HOA complains my Z is too loud when i start the car at 7am on sundays. so far my neighbors have been very tolerant. the fujimura muffler i use sounds great, it is not quiet but not super loud either. cold start is on the loud side as the rpm's are high. i try to back completely out of the garage within 7-8sec of start up so the sound does not resonate so much inside amplifying the sound.

if it wasn't the fujimura i would get the greddy catback.

Good day and weekend to all. Nice day here. Will be motoring the mighty Z later on this evening after the rush hour is over. That will start my happy hour!

hi mr.DLSTR-

yah, i think im pretty much set on the FitSport 5MT(cheap with utility) this time again. and going with silver. yes i will have 3 silver MT cars.

not that i want another silver car, the blue one i want is impossible to find in MT in my area. i need the car like "now" since i have biz trips planned this month and i dont feel like parking my G in the outdoor extended parking at the airport.

I called the ERZ/CNT, the makers of my test pipes, to order the proper gaskets instead of making my own again and they told me they dont sell replacement gaskets

WTF!!!! So Ill be making my own once again, ugh.

Good morn everyone. Its gonna be a stormy Friday here in the North East. Kinda sucks because now my hot tub installs for the day will be cancelled and Ill have to sit around the store all day. Sitting around the store is the WORST!!

mr.alchemy- sorry to hear about CNT not having replacement custom gaskets. thats sucks... we would all expect exhaust manufacturers to keep them at all times as service parts. wth to do when you sell the exhaust? the next person has to make his/her own gaskets again? that is f-ed.

sitting around in store =

hey there, mr.alcheg - thanks for all the suggestions.

while i could give the wife my dd hypothetical cvt impreza-hatch in 2yrs, i think having an AT car to drive all through winter with my G&Z (both MT) hibernating in the garage is going to suck big time. i just hate AT.

yah, ive had 2 subaru's ive bought brand new and both had factory build problems. one was bone stock, AT (i got it for the wife), and it was so unreliable i decided after 3yrs when the warranty was up, to just sell it and get the FitSport since i had such success with previous honda's (except for the 06 civic EX i had built in ohio

was in the shop for a week for warranty repair under 1k miles).

ms.blackcherry -

ive been pretty transparent about this dd search this time. she's aware of all the cars ive looked at or test driven. i think this is wat she feels out of the few left on my short list.

my goal is to keep this dd for 5yrs minimum:

Impreza hatch cvt - 0% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
Impreza hatch 5MT - 50% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
FitSport MT - 60% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
MS3 - 70% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
Juke - 80% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
Sonic - 100% confidence i will hate it in 1wk.

Morning ken-chan!! I was wondering when tou were going to show up!!!

Anyway, I was washing my Z the other day and her son was very exciting and offer to help...

During the wash, he said to me, "I will buy a Nissan. I like uncle's car very much..."

"Oh.. great, uncle likes this car very much too, this is very nice car...."

"You can buy a Lambo... Lambo is cheap too...."

I was like.....

"Lambo...? Lambo is very expensive... "

"Lambo is cheaper than a Bugatti... so you can buy a Lambo... no?"

I just couldn't hold it and laugh out loud!!! LOL

"Lambo is cheaper than a Bugatti, but it is still very expensive....."

^^ still trying to hold my laugh....

"oh.. I see.... okay... then I will buy a Nissan...."

You know... children... they are funny as heaven sometimes....

This is him.. enjoying the bonding time with the Z:

Nephews can be very cool.

One of the beauties of living here in Sacramento is that it takes at least a day for any of my relatives to get here.
