So you're saying any 370z muffler should link up to the the rest of the Nismo's exhaust without any issues besides the one you pointed out correct? Is the problem that the muffler has a connecter to a hanger that's in another location on the Nismo? So the Nismo's muffler is suspended slightly differently then? What did you do to remedy the issue?

Yes, the mid-pipe to muffler connection point is the same NISMO or otherwise. As for the hanger issue, the position is the same, but I believe the rubber spacer is a little different. In another thread someone mentioned just leaving that mount off, but you could try just going to the dealer and buying the standard rubber spacer. Also, I don't know what the real term is for the part; I'm just referring to the rubber piece that goes around the exhaust hanger and is then screwed to something under the body of the car. In the below picture it's the visible hanger on the left.

I didn't notice the issue until I was in the process of removing the muffler-only section. It turns out the rubber spacer rotated and the hanger was rubbing against the metal portion of the bracket that held the rubber in place. That explained the rattling at high RPM.

Gotcha... sounds like an easy fix, just swap it out with the same part from the regular 370. This was exactly what I needed to know... thanks! =D
