From what I've read on this site, there are other Aftermarket Exhaust Systems that produce more WHP for the Z than the Nismo Exhaust.
The reason why you can't find any "Nismo" stuff online yet or on their site is because from what I heard, "Nismo" is still in the process of R&D for this car...Also a friend who works at Nissan told me that "Nismo" won't release any aftermarkets for the 370Z anytime soon...Reason being is that if they were to offer their "Nismo" aftermarkets for the Z, then Nissan's sales of the "Nismo" would drop...this is supposidely an agreement that "Nismo" and Nissan made....makes sense...I mean why would you buy a "Nismo" Z when you could buy a base or sports package for less and buy the afterrmarket "Nismo's" later at a cheaper price then buying the Nismo package?

Thank you for the update. I figured that there's a Tune in additional to Exhaust that makes up those numbers, it's just that Nissan made kind of a big deal about the H-Pipe Configuration increasing HP, and all the aftermarket ones i've seen are X-Configuration or Y-Config. Personally, I don't know exactly what the benefits are. But I do know I would like to build up my car for performance while keeping in mind what I'm getting is the most bang for the buck. I haven't done enough research on a lot of aftermarket parts, but I just figured it's safer to stick with Nismo parts mainly because it sometimes fits and look nicer. (i.e. I like the canister look of the Nismo Z over those funcky diagonal mounted exhaust canisters - even though I know it performs better, it looks kind of tacky and not factory like)
Thanks again for the input.
