NISMO Exhaust or not

SE · 05-08-2010, 08:27 PM

I didn't really have much of a choice seeing as how mine comes with a Nismo exhaust stock (although different from the s-tune configuration, but probably same sound/sound level).

Test pipes really opened up the sound at higher RPMs/throttle, but hopefully with long tubes I should see a slight difference. I hate super loud exhausts, but even with test pipes it is slightly tamer than what I'd like.

If anything I might do some custom piping back to the mufflers or remove the resonators.

I'm wondering if the stock Nismo exhaust might actually tend to be a little louder/deeper than the S-Tune version due to the fact it's an H-Pipe vs. a Y-Pipe. Thoughts?

As some have stated, this is going to end up being all about your personal tastes. There are two Nismo exhausts. One is the S-Tune, which is the aftermarket one available from Nissan dealerships, and the other is the OEM exhaust that comes on the USDM Nismo cars. The latter exhaust is a better exhaust, IMO, as it is comes with an H pipe instead of a Y pipe.

That said, you should probably test drive a Nismo or listen to one, if possible, so you will know if the exhaust is what you seek.

Since going with twin turbos, I have an OEM Nismo exhaust for sale. Less than 200 miles on it. PM me if interested.
