- If I were to install the exhaust, what additional parts would I need (rubber hangers, gaskets, etc.)?

- Would it be recommended to have the car tuned after installing the exhaust (not planning on any other additional drive train upgrades)

Thanks for your help!

I cannot confirm if there are deltas on your 15 but judging how the Z has been about the same the entire model run, I am going to presume the exhaust mounts are identical.

I posted info in 2010/11 time frame in a thread you may have seen. The OEM NISMO exhaust has a subtle tone change, nice but not usually loud enough for what people want. I ran with it for a year or so on our 2010 roadster.

I have kept the H pipe and since upgraded to an AAM S and muffler setup which is a good volume for my tastes.

The driver side mount on the NISMO is different the a regular Z from my experience. In order to reach the OEM hanger setup, I had to fabricate a bit of an extension using some bolts and another hanger. The plate to use for a mount was a $200+ part from Nissan, so I went with my $10 solution.
