If you're familiar with the NISMO cat-back for the 350Z, you'll be glad to know it fits the Coupe and the Roadster and bolts on in about 15 minutes, two man....30 minutes one man.

It's sounds better. It's a Ricer-Rally. No where near as throaty as an aftermarket like HKS or Borla but definitely not stock. The mid pipe is almost an inch larger in diameter as the stock pipe and the cat is a touch smaller. I've got pics of the install.

Here's before....

Removing the stock was pretty easy. Nismo of course has it's own gaskets, bolts, flange nuts. The piping is a three pieces set (Y-pipe, mid-pipe with resonator and the cat-back dual tip with laser-etched NISMO logo on each pipe and the cat). All that's needed is a torque wrench, large flat head, 10mm box wrench, ratchet wrench, lube and 10mm socket. No cutting or drilling necessary.

You can see here the difference in the stock and NISMO cat.

The Y-pipe even looks better.

Check out the girth on this mid-pipe. I still have to measure the two pipes to see the difference.

The one thing we noticed about the tips is that they seem to point up a little more than you'd think. But still cool.

Here's the after. I know it's a bad shot but after being in a 110 degree shop for twenty minutes I was ready to get out of there.

The finished product is a car with an additional 6-9 HP and 3.5 to 5 lb-ft. Your car is 9 lbs lighter plus you're styling.

nice work jayson. did you have a problem with the pipe conduit that runs across under exhaust ,about where the saddle tank is, hitting the exhaust at all?

Looks nice, how about a sound clip?

Post by **SDRonEbay** » Fri Aug 08, 2003 4:23 am

There were actually no problems at all. Before they put it up there was some naysayers who said the midpipe was too long and would push the cat 'back' too far but once it was up we saw that was just an optical illusion.

If I could get a sound bite I would Big J. It's worth hearing.
