By 13 I am assuming that you mean 2013 NISMO? From a performance standpoint, the NISMO exhaust is an upgraded version of the stock exhaust! It is also heavier than the stock exhaust. If you really want to relieve the back pressure and utilize the full performance potential than you need to put on a good aftermarket exhaust.

That being said, thank you for inquiring about our exhaust system. We have many options available. The (Standard) pricing starts at $1,100. Options for the CBE are as follows:

Non Resonated X Pipe: (Standard)
This X pipe comes without resonators and will be your loudest option. Very exotic sounding and slightly higher pitched. With stock or high flow cats the rasp should be very minimal if any at all.

12" Resonated X Pipe: +$130
The 12" resonators will go in line inside of the x pipe. They will smoothen out the exhaust note and quiet down the interior noise. This option is our middle of the road option in terms of sound level.

18" Resonated X Pipe: +$160
The 18" resonators are our quietest option. They will cut the most interior noise out as well as give you the smoothest exhaust note. Even though this is the quietest option we have, it is still a large improvement over the stock exhaust note.

NOTE: The resonators are strictly noise canceling devices and DO NOT hinder the performance at all.

Polished Stainless Steel Mufflers: (Standard)
This is our standard option. The mufflers will have a mirror finish to them. Given the angle that the mufflers sit, they are very noticeable from behind the car.

Carbon Fiber Mufflers: +$275
The upgrade of the Carbon Fiber mufflers will give you three changes.
1) They are a combined weight of 6 pounds lighter than the Stainless Steel mufflers.
2) The overall decibel level is higher by roughly 5%-8% over the Stainless Steel mufflers.
3) The aesthetics are completely different. Where the Stainless Steel mufflers attract a lot of attention, the Carbon Fiber mufflers blend in much more. At night they look black.

I think that this covers it all for now. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Thank you, Tony

I can see the benefit of a lift but I don't know if I trust a chain muffler shop like Midas doing the install on my new "Z".

Also wondering about the labor cost of the installation?
I would appreciate any feedback and maybe a vote of confidence in a place like Midas or suggestions.

The installation is very straightforward. There is no cutting or welding required. Everything will bolt directly into stock location. We will supply you with new hardware, gaskets and installation instructions. The entire install should not take more than 1-1.5 hours.

Here is a great DYI video below that one of our customers was kind enough to create and share with the community.

If you have any further questions or would like to place an order, please do not hesitate to call me directly.

Thank you, Tony

Fitment, sounds, and availability have been answered several times and most of your questions are answered on the first thread ....

I'm sure your next question will be if anyone gas any sound clips... Lots of people have covered this.... There is a reason why this exhaust is the most sought after and why people are willing to wait.

probably wouldnt be a bad idea since the typical wait time is 10-12 weeks from when the order is placed. well worth the wait though trust me

I only wish I started researching exhaust systems earlier on... Driving around with stock system whilst waiting for your FI order is no fun at all!
