For further commentary, comparison dynos, detailed reports, see the aforementioned thread -- easy to search for.
In short: I would NOT spend the money on the S-tune, even used; buy a Nismo OEM take off for better results.
I have no special opinion on the sound difference -- they both sound fine. Louder than stock, but not enough to wake the neighbors.

Well I got the OEM Nismo H pipe exhaust on this weekend and I must say there is definitely a difference from the stock exhaust. Not sure how much I gained in HP but the engine does rev faster and it has a deeper tone but not louder. Very happy with it but only intend on using it until I get my FI 18". I'm wondering if it would be cheaper just getting a less restrictive muffler and still give me the gains an aftermarket would? But hey for $200 it was worth it.
