NISMO Cat-back Exhaust System

dave11

I drove a 2020 Nismo to compare the exhaust sound with my stock exhaust. There was hardly any difference in sound. The Nismo they offer as an accessory for $1850 plus installation is not the same as the R-Tune. The R-Tune is a true dual exhaust with an H pipe. It also has two mufflers going across at the rear instead if the one shown in the brochure. The R-Tune is what I have. It sounds much different than the Nismo I drove. The R-Tune is louder and has a much more melodic sound under acceleration.

There's currently 4:

OEM from the complete Nismo car. H-pipe configuration by Autetech then HKS

Nismo S-Tune. Y-pipe and if I remember correctly the construction is stainless steel, and the pipe diameters make it a questionable upgrade for the money.

Nismo R-Tune. H-pipe setup. 2.5" diameter. Seems likewise to the Nismo OEM setup except for the nicer muffler/silencer section and stainless construction

Nismo Titanium. I don't think we got the full story, but it advertises the "Nismo" fitting as a less expensive package (not that it's inexpensive even then). From the product picture it looks like it therefore just replaces just the mid-pipe and muffler. But it's worth every penny. Car sounds like a V8. You'll run 11's, get 11's in your car, everyone at the Starbucks meet will be dying to know you.

That R-Tune is the AAM S Line rebranded. doesn't really count imo.

I just looked at the AAM line. The R-Tune I bought through Nissan's Nismo aftermarket company is very similar to AAM's S-Line system. There are some differences as well as similarities. There are enough differences that I don't agree with you that it is just rebranded. There are differences in the shape of the pipes. I also think the welding is better on the Nismo from what I can see from AAM's pictures and comparing to what I saw when mine were installed. I listened to their sound video. I really can't tell you how mine sounds outside the car, but I really enjoy the sound mine makes.

Nice spread, Spartan. A good cross section of what is available.

I was thinking of doing the same as you with the Nismo true dual, then decided on the INVIDIA GEMINI cat back. Bought it on Amazon for $876.97 to my front door. Sound is awesome and quality is really good. I cant give you any numbers but definitely a nice HP gain. Just my 2 cents.
