i think the FI exhaust and a simple JWT pop charger (short ram how you like it) will net your over what the nismo can do... WITHOUT a reflash.

If you can't feel 18whp you need to get your butt dyno re-calibrated! It's not a huge difference, but it's noticeable.

On a separate note, is the Nismo exhaust on the Nismo Z the same as the one sold for the regular 370Z? I remember the Nismo 350 with the CBE is different than the Nismo exhaust sold for the regular 350Z. When I asked the parts guy, he told me he didn't know. |

My question isn't whether the nismo Z has a different exhaust than the standard Z. I was asking whether the Nismo Z exhaust is different than the Nismo exhaust aftermarket add on for the standard Z. I'm wondering because the parts guy told me they were different for the 350 and that he wasn't sure about the 370.

g96818, I love your current and future improvements and if I were looking for bigger gains, that is how I would set it up. Though Steve's FI CBE is pretty pimpin also. But I do not want my front bumper removed and I do not want to deal with any potential emission/state inspection issues. I now realize the need to find a performance shop somewhere nearby in case I do not use the dealer for a Nismo CBE install. There has to be a place where the lobster boats go to get their aftermarket go fast parts installed!

One of the things you should do is find online or go to an emissions shop and ask what the state requirements are. Depending on the answer might give you some confidence in what you order.
I would look at through the exhaust section here on the boards and see what exhaust you like the best.

I did and it's between Stillen and Fast Intentions. Don't care for any exhaust that is too loud. Low profile and simple works for me, that is why I originally thought the Nismo CBE was perfect. But it appears that no one likes it, which tells me that anyone who actually purchased the Nismo 370Z must be scratching their heads?

Problem with Nismo exhaust is it is over-priced since it is an OEM item from Nissan. In the end you can get more from aftermarket without being to loud. You will be happy with a CBE, good gains and nice sound change.

The NISMO Z, despite having 350 HP, is not super crazy fast compared to the standard 370Z. The extra weight from the add-ons pretty much negates the extra power.
I'd like to see what the NISMO Z really puts down so we'll know what sort of "tuning" was involved. As for CBE upgrade, IMO, the Z hauls a bit harder and becomes lively around 500 RPM sooner.

yep, i agree with modshack as well... my Z will be hibernating in a month or two anyway so do not plan on any major mods until next season.
![]() i think the Z with sport package runs pretty good in stock form... i may not do much to it other than an intake for some VQ noise. |

Modshack, great advice and that is what I'm going to do. I'll let you southern boys work out all the kinks with the various mods while I'm snowed in up here. Grew up in the Jacksonville area which isn't to far from you, my father was a career Marine. Thanks for everyone's help!
