Man ,this is more than what I expected. So apparently, after buying this from a local seller, that Nismo discontinued this exhaust. Lucky me.

Heres a couple video clips. Honestly, it sounds so much better in person, the video doesn't do justice. I am hell of satisfied. I've yet to drive it around alot more to notice any power differences. I really just did it for the sound, and it met my expectations.

Thanks guys I love this thing, and its my first ever aftermarket exhaust on a car (the first two were not worth an exhaust)

Czonin- All I have is a Takeda intake and now this. My next mod down the road will be a Stillen Pulley, painting the wheels, and Tein lowering springs.

Dunno if I'm gonna do headers or not.

Congrats, it would be even better with an intake and headers.

Well I have an intake. Just really need headers, but I dont think I want it that much louder.

If you do a header on the 2.5 (say, Stillen ceramic coated catless header)... it will do WONDERS for a lot of things. I did one on my B15 Spec V... that is by far the best performance mod you can get for the QR25. I had a catless header, stock test pipe (includes a cat that isn't monitored by the ECU - don't know how the AC is setup) and an Apex'i WS2 catback. The car growled a lot more but wasn't really all that much louder. Gas mileage was a good bit better on the interstate at cruise - I managed 34.2mpg overall on a 7 hour trip from BFE, Mississippi. I was running the stock intake too.

I don't know how loud the Nismo is in person, but if you have a test pipe with a cat in it, which I think you do, it won't get all that much louder... just a bit deeper in tone. You'll get a chunk more power too. Kinda like the y-pipe in the 3.5.

I heard the header causes one of the dash warning lights to go off, anyone know why exactly? and can the header void the warranty?

If you use an O2 spacer on the second O2 sensor on install, it won't throw the SES(check engine) light. I had to do that on my Sentra.

As far as warranty... searches are your friend ;)

Only thing that would cause the o2 sensor to go bad is if you He-Man the crap out of it when you take it off the header. Otherwise, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
