But...the replacement of the mid pipe would be great and still help the exhaust system a bit.

Didn't have this problem on my Nismo. I originally had an 09 touring sport and after it was totalled I replaced it with a 2010 Nismo. I transfered over my FI 18" resonator carbon fiber muffler exhaust over to my Nismo in just 45min. The hangers all lined up with no problems. The tips look great and don't stick out too far, nor are they tucked back too far. Looks good, sounds much better than the stock nismo exhaust, and there is definitly an power increase.

Sure an H-pipe replacement would be nice but if you are going to upgrade the exhaust you might as well go for a full cat-back

Understood.....its just that I have the Amuse Nismo version exhaust back there. Kind of would like to keep that.

Just need to have a H-Pipe or an X-Pipe fabricated WITH flanges that go from the cats to the mid-pipe. So far, I still have not seen another company other than Sunline and Amuse with a replacement piece for that section only.

If Tony at F.I. is interested.....I am in when it comes out. Though, if they can run resonators in that section, it would cut a lot of rasp down as well.

Someone help out Tony please so he can help us out in return. I am definitely too far away.
