Nismo plays it SAFE by yielding low hp gains because it works in conjunction w/ the factory warranty and Nissan is liable for any dealer installed Nismo parts.

The only hp-factory parts in my experience is Honda Type-R. Civic type R cams, header, etc. make real HP for Honda cars.

Would fitting an aftermarket system invalidate the totally invalidate the warrenty?

only if your exhaust causes the problem like if it is too close to the car and starts a fire they won't cover it. I usually go into the dealership i'll have the work done at and ask them first before i bring the car there because different dealerships decide it differently.

Excellent advice, I have mailed them and hope for a favourable reply.

Making the decision on power/torque figures is asy 'cos you can look at dyno figures. Trying to decide on sound is difficult. You can listen on U-Tube but all the recordings are taken in different conditions - bit pot luck.

Mail is nice if they send you back a letter that is favorable then you can hold it against them later. I'm going to say that they are probably not going to send you a letter that actually says they will allow it though as they know it can be held against them. I usually end up going in and asking the service manager if he cares or reports that kind of thing when they file a warranty claim.

Yes but how loud? Will it set everyones car alarms off? I want a good sound but not draw attention until out of town.
