Borla vs Nismo headers and cat-back exhaust

[robert47]

I have a 2006 350Z Track Model that I would like to add headers and a cat-back exhaust system. I would like to know if anybody out there knows which set-up would be better between Borla and Nismo. Any comments would be helpful.

The Borla system sounds great, but the Nismo S-tune won't void you're warranty. Power gains is the same. Are you going for forced induction later? Take that into consideration, cause you might need different diameter piping, would suck to have redo the exhaust system again.

Actually, the Borlas have shown to be consistently underperforming headers on the VQ. Go with the Nismo units, or something similar like the DC ones.

You could spend more on long-tube headers and have better performance, but they're pricey for a few more HP.

The NISMO stuff sounds and performs great. I'd go that route.
