What I am saying is that for the money spent there are better options. My stock NISMO exhaust is hanging in my garage while my fast intentions is on my car. Sounds better, lighter, and performs better.

Remember, the NISMO exhaust isn't the only thing giving the NISMO extra power, there is also a better tune and higher rev limit. Those who did the swap but in 2009 when the car first came out only say 7-8hp gains on a stock regular 370z.

This is all pretty much false.

Rev limit identical, tune has slightly different base fuel table data that is tuned out as soon as the car learns fuel data. The exhaust is the only mechanical (engine) difference between the 332hp base Z and the 350hp Nismo Z. The exhaust is good for over 15+ WHP, if tuned or given time for the engine to adjust.

The exhaust is a great option if you don't want to spend too much money.

Buying it NEW is dumb, buying it used for cheap, is very very smart.
