FI CF CBE installed on 2012 Nismo!

Yes adding a mid will make it sluggish, when you're done with breathing mods, get a tune and you will be amazed at how much power you have on tap now.

This exhaust on a Nismo just looks sexyyyy!!!!!! I've been debating between two setups....

Resonated HFCs paired with 12" resonated Xpipe
or for the added gains
Resonated TPs paired with 18" resonated Xpipe

I am also getting ready to pull the trigger on this. I have a 2012 Nismo and just installed the Stillen Gen3, Swifts and 15/20 H&R's.... I talked with Tony (great guy btw) @ FI and he sold me on the long tube headers and TDX pipes (thinking 12" res. will be perfect) He said you should gain back a lot of lower/mid with this setup... If anyone has this PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND BE HEARD.. LOL.

Talk to the guys at Specialty Z too.. The guy knows everything about Z's.. We had a long talk about headers.. After all this is done, you will need to get your car tuned anyway!! Make the call bro!

I had the same thing on my Nismo. Berk cats first with Nismo cold air intake and uprev tune. I then added the FI exhaust weeks later and had dyno pulls done, and not retuned as they were booked up. It did lose power on low and mid range and labored as you noted. The dyno sheets showed it and I felt the power loss. So you really should get uprev to tune it. It can't adapt that much.
