opinions on my exhaust

fairlady_z34 · 05-08-2013, 06:16 PM

i just got my car from the dealership a week ago and it came with a nismo exhaust from previous owner. my question is should i just stick with the nismo exhaust since previous owner already installed it or should i go with another exhaust? from the research i did i know there is little hp gains differences but is it really worth it?

I didn't buy the exhaust for HP gain. I bought it to bring out the beautiful sounds of the engine.

Go to a meet and check out other exhausts. Compare and price what you like. You already have a custom exhaust so no rush to change and HP change would be minimal at best. There is a great thread in the exhaust section with sound clips etc.

if you like the sound of the exhaust, i'd keep it. nothing wrong with the nismo/s-tune exhaust.

As mentioned, it really depends what you are looking for out of the exhaust. If you like the sound, I say keep it, otherwise do your research & find the exhaust that makes you smile

I like the tone of the nismo exhaust, its nice. I bought my car and the p.o. installed an Amuse Titan Silent. I really enjoy that, it's subtle but sounds nice. I wouldn't spend the money to get one if I didnt have it already, but I love walking up to my car and seeing the blue exhaust tips.

Buy exhaust not for hp gain but for the sound and look... If you like the sound of Nismo then keep it.

For me, Nismo exhaust is too quite and not sexy enough. I Just grabed HKS Hi Power. Can't wait!

Here are the list of the exhaust I'd recommend(for the look, sound and quality).

Berk is also a great option. When paired with the berk high flow cats its quiet in the lower rpms but really opens up and sounds amazing after 3k. Here's a good video.

Berk w High flows is my next purchase. The nismo is a perfectly fine exhaust though. If I had a nismo exhaust, I would be hard presses to drop 2K into the Berk setup.

Not a huge fan of nismo exhaust. A little sissy when left stock.
