Stay tuned!

You can't go wrong with that combination. If you have any questions please let me know.

Most gains will come from swapping out the cats with either HFC's or TP's.

I don't know what the FI exhaust is going for, but my guess is that if it's, say, a few hundred more than someone's used OEM Nismo H-pipe cat back, the gains/sound will only justify the price differential if you have money to burn.

If I were you, I'd just get the HFC's.

Hmmmmmm... I disagree... The S-Tune WILL for SURE make more power than the OEM Nismo exhaust
I have an S-tune exhaust. It's much better than the OEM Nismo, much bigger piping. 2.25", but most other aftermarkets are 2.5"

Dynos? I found virtually no gains over TP's alone.

However, I don't have a clear comparison of standard, S-tune, and Nismo H with cats or same replacement for cats...

Nothing but FI

What can one do to achieve awesome sound without changing the whole exhaust? Will adding HFC's or Test Pipes to my stock Nismo exhaust increase the groan?

Resonated HFC's or resonated TP' or LTH's.

When ya stall the car starting off at a light with the radio turned up rocking to some music, the exhaust is just too dang quite. Just sayin.

This is the most incorrect/misleading thread I have seen in a long time. S-Tune makes more gains then the OEM Nismo?! There seems to be a lot of confusion about what exhaust is what and a lot of people are using many different names for the same thing.

Stock OEM Z, Y-Pipe design, what the base and sport package come with.
2.4" Y pipe
Cross Section Area 3.52 sqin

S-Tune Nismo, Y-Pipe, not found on a Stock Nismo 370Z
2.4" Primary pipes, joining into a single 2.5" y-pipe, then splitting back to two 2" pipes, through two resonators which stay 2" inside then back up to 2.4" out the back and through the muffler.
~5 whp stock OEM exhaust.
Cross Section Area 3.97 sqin

OEM Nismo, "R-Tune", H-Pipe what comes on a Stock Nismo from the dealer.
1.75" Primary pipes that stay true dual throughout the exhaust. They increase to about 2.25"-2.3" later on down the pipe run near the mufflers. There is a H-configuration crossover near the engine.
~10 whp over stock OEM exhaust
Cross Section Area 4.8 sqin

FI Exhaust
2.5" X-pipe
~20 whp over stock OEM exhaust
Cross Section Area 9.8 sqin

IMO the biggest concern is cost a used good condition Nismo exhaust can be had for 500. A FI exhaust will be hard to find used and a new one will set you back over 1,200. For a difference of about 10 whp.

Got my Nismo for $250 locally, hard to justify that much more money for even 20whp.
