Looked around, but does anyone know if a magazine or similar has done back-to-back-to-back dyno comparisons of at least say..5 exhaust systems for the Z33?

I'd love to get a lot of data on this before I change mine out...(before the first oil change even!)

Found this:http://www.stillen.com/media_f...7.pdf

but I am looking for some more so I can narrow my choices to say..the top 3 performing exhausts, then nail them by lightness, cost and looks..

Looks pretty good!

I like the ones that have stock looking tips like that v/s the ones that look like 2 aftermarket 240sx mufflers.

The high flow cats do a whole lot for power gains from what I've read and herd.

Dealer gave me a deal, 1k installed with all hardware for the nismo S_tune exhaust..so I anted up..

the sound is super sweet..like a more agressive, stoutter sounding version of stock, but it retained the nice warbble sound I love so much...

Not as much HP as the 1200+dollar system (which woulkd have set me back 1600 installed...), but it keeps factory warranty, looks totally sweet (NISMO etchings on the tips, and a NISMO palte you can see in the SS muffler from the rear!) and sounds absolutely beautifull..

now..onto the intake, and my performance mods are -done- until I get another job promotion or whatnot..haha

Fred,

It won't allow me to do attachments.....I can in other forums? Maybe this one doesn't like me or something

I got 4 shots of it installed, I need someone to host them, or let me upload/attach them!

Looks really good, i think after it all i'll end up with the nismo. This warranty crap and the hks is more than i want to deal with.

Kinda off the topic but Greg @ Injected Performance has a used exhaust for sale. It is a Blitz Nur spec along with a Tanabe y pipe. The exhaust was used for around 400 miles. Not a scratch dent or ding. I will see what he wants for it.

Sounds like something Fred might be interested in, if the price is right.
