Also, the Nismo has an H-pipe, so make sure you buy the correct piece!

Changing to AAM shorty tails AKA muffler deletes will make the car sound AMAZING, but it will drone at 100% of speeds, lol


The best, least "raspy" test pipes will be the Motordyne Art pipes, but they any cheap... But with an OEM system, you should be quite ok with and shítty TP's


Also, have you had a car with test pipes? Do you know HOW BAD it smells???
No. I have never had a car with 'test pipes' so I'm unfamiliar with the smell. I'm coming from GT-R's and M3's that all had mid-pipe replacements. I definitely don't want a bad smell, so what is my best option for an exhaust replacement between the down-pipes and the rear muffler? Test pipe, H-pipe or High-flow cats?

The smell is TERRIBLE

Get Berk High flow cats and get a new exhaust...

The Nismo IS better than the stock one, but not better than aftermarket

Not to stir the shítstorm/bucket, but unless you DIE for the body kit, don't buy the Nismo, it's a waste of money
