Nismo exhaust would be louder without resonator??

If you want it louder and to sound good at the same time your going to have to replace the muffler. If your going to do that you might as well just swap the whole exhaust system and pick up some horsepower at the same time. My NISMO was way too quiet and I'm much happier with my FI exhaust.

Yeah I've heard good things about F.I exhaust systems. Has anyone had the long tube headers (LTH) installed, if so how was the install and what do you think of them?

I got the LTH's. Everything is easy up to when you do the driver side header. Removing to stock header is a PITA. give yourself a couple of extra hours for that side. The heat shield is the hard part about it. If it wasn't for that. I could of had the whole exhaust done in about 5 hours. Look in my signature for my build thread. It has the pic's in it of the install. Love my set-up that I have with the exhaust. Little on the loud side.

Thanks for the link to your install it was very helpful. Is it true that if you go with the LTH that it eliminates the cats? Also do you have video/sound clip of what is sounds like? Have you had it tuned yet?

Yes the LTH's eliminate the cats. I do believe F.I. is offering a CBE now that has HFC's in the front section for those of us that are running LTH's. As far as the sound goes it's just plain awesome. The only thing you need to be aware of is LTH's paired with a non-res FI CBE WILL give you drone from 2-2.5k RPM.
