Also, I thought the Nismo does have a slightly higher rev limit as well -- I could be wrong on that one.

I also remain convinced that the Nismo has slightly different VVEL tuning as well -- although that is yet to be confirmed (hello, GTM?) -- after viewing these dynos I've been accumulating from various folks (all dynojet, BTW).

However, I agree 100% that picking up any Nismo exhaust new is not needed -- get one used for modest gains and good sound without any unexpected rasp or fitment issues.

Z= 332hp @7,000rpm
Nismo= 350hp 7,400rpm

Buying the exhaust separately from Nismo, they claim 5-8hp gain with their exhaust. Not sure if i can float with Nismo getting all their power solely from an exhaust considering their claims on the independent exhaust

We're talking about the Nismo OEM exhaust, which is good for well over 10WHP in most cases.
