I was talking about this to a friend of mine who works at Nissan. For one, we both think the car is loud enough and sounds great as is. But to be honest, the exhaust is not the best out there. He was telling me you can easily upgrade the intake and full exhaust and get quite a bit more power out of the car. He was talking about 30-40 more HP. Either you want to change the car or dont! Plain and simple.

Cars today are made conservative for a reason...It opens them up to a bigger market, plus its less hassle for nissan down the road legally and warranty wise. If you want a louder exhaust get a new one. In my opinion the 370z doesn't have the sports car sound it should but thats why we have aftermarket parts...While i'll be the first person to bragg that my 370 is a nismo, i'll say that its also an exspensive brand name and that because its nismo doesnt mean it is the best...The exhaust is a prime example of that! My first mod and BY FAR the most important in my opinion. I couldn't be happier with it and everyone that hears it cant help but

Franco, just get the AAM Shorty Tail Exhaust. They will make it louder and you can eliminate the weight of the muffler. Nuff said!

Nikkolai · 04-03-2012, 04:38 PM

Be like me and probably 1% of the people here that leave their Nismo alone. Ok not really leaving mine alone since I'm about to install a Z1 Motorsports oil cooler, installed better brake pads, Z1 stainless steel brake lines and ATE Type 200 race brake fluid.

The rest is factory...I think that counts.

Actually the members on this forum that have given you very sound advice from the question you posted are far from that. The answers you are looking for have already been answered. What you need to do now is learn a bit about the Z's exhaust system, read over the great advice given here and thank someone that you feel gave you the the tip for helping you get the exhaust sound you are wanting. HFC's, test pipes and shorty tail pipes have all been suggested. It's time for you to say thank you and make up your mind. Thank YOU!

Just take the muffler off.. Sounds perfect. If you like it,you can run straight pipes from where you took the muffler off, out the back, or leave it like it is.. Sounds great, better gas mileage, drop about 50lbs all for free..

Will it pass smog?

Nizmo0533 · 04-05-2012, 11:45 AM

i cut off the rasonator. it should be better with HFC

curqleez · 04-05-2012, 12:19 PM

I'm sure.. still have the cats on..

forza370z · 04-07-2012, 01:50 AM

Changing the STOCK cats to AFTERMARKET HFC or TP is still called STOCK?? Well, this is just beyond me...

FuszNissan · 04-08-2012, 06:43 AM

From what I hear,(no pun inteaded) if you add HFC's w/ a Nismo Exhaust = wrasp.

roplusbee · 04-08-2012, 09:04 AM

So the first couple of pages were productive.........I am not sure where this went wrong. I had my F.I. TDX before I owned my NISMO because I knew that the car was more docile sounding than the previous model Z. Just a word of advice, don't call the people trying to help you retards!

Any sound clips of non-resonated test pipes on a Nismo with stock catback?
