Nismo air system/Nismo Pipes

Guard Dad

Forget improved mileage, you just won't see it.

If you want a power bump for a good price I would suggest the stock exhaust from the Nismo Z. It has a better sound, larger pipes, nice tips and perfect fit. Clean used ones should run you $400 on the private party "parts for sale" section of this forum. This exhaust is well built from stainless steel so it will last longer than the car. It is worth maybe 8-12 horsepower, not as much as some of the aftermarket units but good bang for the buck.

As for intakes, I went with the Stillen G3 long tube intake. It is CARB 50 state legal which means it is certified to meet or exceed factory emissions specs and is good for about 18 horsepower. It is beautifully made out of polished aluminum. My dealer has been fine with it for the last 2.5 years.

The two together should get you to 350+ horsepower at the flywheel for a total of about $1,000 if you do the install yourself.

carb just means its cali legal, everyone outside of cali could care less about carb honestly and having the Nismo 370z, it does NOT sound any different than a regular, sure its design is better than a regular 370z exhaust since it is a true dual setup but as far as sound goes, it isn't any different from a stock 370z

if OP really wants to save money, OP could get the Topspeed Pro1 Exhaust, it should make about the same as every other exhaust out there since its a true dual 2.5in setup although there are no dynos i have seen for this exhaust
