Exhaust weight and other questions
 

Does anybody know how much the stock Nismo exhaust weighs? Is there a significant decrease in weight when considering aftermarket exhausts?

More generally, what are the easiest ways to shed weight from a Nismo?

Not trying to be a jerk or anything. But I found that in one google search.

Now, all you have to do is google the after market exhaust you want and compare.

Nismo Exhaust

Stillen weighs : 65.3 lbs

Fast Intention weighs : 47 lbs

Nismo : 53.6 lbs

Titan: I could not find an actual weight, they say 40-50% lighter. To me that means nothing without a number. I am curious though, it looks nice!

Wow, the Stillen is actually 12 lbs heavier?!

Thanks for the info. Any other suggestions for weight reduction?

Search you're a grown up too!

There is thread in the exterior/interior section with tons of info on weight reduction. You really aren't going to save a significant amount of weight with any aftermarket exhaust systems unless you go titanium or a single pipe setup. On average, if there is any weight savings with an aftermarket stainless steel set ups it's usually around 5 to 10lbs. Like mentioned before, some are heavier than oem. Im not positive, but i think my brand new ark dt-s exhaust is heavier than stock. Little disappointed about that but I'm not going to spend 3- 4k dollars on titanium.

:iagree: Titanium is very bridal & doesn’t make sense to have on as a DD. It is worth it if you are looking to race on a circuit & want to save weight. At the end of the day the question you have to ask yourself is if you want to spend a huge sum of money on a titanium exhaust.

If you really want to save some wait on exhaust go single. He put the weight of the stillen he had and the single he has now in the first post.

Here is the Titan Exhaust weight.

5.8 + 13.6 = 19.4 lbs. Subtract that away from 46, you get...uh...26.6 lbs weight savings

Total is 19.4 lbs, awesome weight... Compared to 53.6lbs! I think I will go with TITAN even though they run around $1600.

Here is where I got the information.
TITAN EXHAUST

Sorry to burst your bubble buts its a little more than $1600. I believe for the entire setup its closer to 3k. Titanium isn't cheap.

The titanium is the only reason it saves so much weight over the others. Please price it out again your not seeing something, it's a bit more than 1600.

Quote from phelan who has this exhaust...

yeah i dunno. i can live with spending a hair under $4k once in a lifetime on an exhaust...$6k was a little harder to justify. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

If you want to trust ebay be my guest.

I promise it's not the amuse which was the original, this is a knock off.

Ok then here..

Maybe its just a copy not an original, but its still claims 40% lighter and here its only $1500

Yes, i trust Ebay.. Been shopping and selling there since they started. Never had issues. Just check their ratings before you order.

No where on there does it say it's made of titanium. It's says it's made from polished SUS304 stainless steel piping. The name is Titan exhuast doesn't mean made from titanium.

Sounds like you are paying for a Name.. Or does anyone know.. is Exoticspeed not using Titanium? If someone actually knows a difference that would be great. But if there is no difference, then why pay for a Name? Bragging rights?

I see... makes sense then.. thanks!

I could be wrong but most of the time if it sounds to good to be true it is. If you feel good about it, i'd say get it weigh it and let us know. You may have a very good find on your hands.

Yea, I know this.. I just did not know enough about the exhaust systems to even know about AMUSE... But I am learning. Only had my Nismo a few months and am not just looking up more and more mods.

Too addicting!

Armhunter, that is the exoticspeed exhaust, which isn't titanium and is sold by many vendors on this forum. The titanium exhaust you were talking about earlier is made by Amuse.

I tell you what guys, my old Agency Power exhaust was very light weight. I would say it was atleast 20lbs lighter than stock. My new Ark DT-S exhaust is much heavier.

I just cant believe how heavy the Nismo is compared to the rest.

For the money/power/weight/sound, fast intentions is the best option in my opinion.

Wow, that is insane! Did we ever settle on which price was correct? I'm gonna go do some homework now, but this is awesome!!

EDIT: Looks like Phelan paid $3k... but saw a 15hp increase at the wheels and a 27 lb. weight savings. Can anybody comment on if these values would stand for a Nismo?

Those numbers sound about right, 15whp might be a little optimistic but all in all I wouldn't see why it would be any different if installed on a Nismo. Question to ask is an exhaust really worth 3k+ dollars and a wait time of god knows how long since these types of exhausts are mostly special orders from Japan.

:stirthepot: Closer to 6k for the whole exhaust.

Here you guys go..... Amuse muffler section and mid pipes nismo version..... $4250.00
370ZTUNE.com

Amuse front pipe nismo version... $1795.00 - 370ZTUNE.com

Do the math and that's A LOT of $$$ just for an exhaust.

The noise it makes is probably worth it.

Good deal, thanks... so actually, that's the silenced version which I don't care too much about... the regular Titanium STTI is $3350, but still... ouch.

Here's the non-silenced version:

Thats too much for just an exhaust..

Just got my Powerhouse Amuse exhaust super excited to get it installed... :p
