no headers yet, I'm patiently waitin for nismo's QR headers (and intake)... I don't wanna play with the spec-v's unless they don't make new nismo headers for our coupes... I wanna keep it as nissan r-tuned as possible... I'm goin nismo QR cams next, along with the Eibach springs.

[theoctopussi]

its comin! I'll film tonight...

[theoctopussi]

and thanks! and no, no lights have come and the car sounds and drives perfect... I've had lots of exhausts on my nissans since 98... and this straight piping is the best I've had! sound and performance alike.

[tommy314]

How much to get this done?

[Robs_altima]

The headers aren't on Nismo's development schedule yet....

[theoctopussi]

LOL 100 bucks!

[theoctopussi]

yeah, i know, it hurts my heart lol I doubt they'll make em... so I'll have to customize that as well - or go with the best aftermarket brand - any recommendations Rob?

[D-Roll]

Looks great, cant wait to hear it

[theoctopussi]

thanks mang..

[IrishUSA]

Isnt just a header?

[SniperJoe]

Can't wait to hear the video ... Watch the review mirror ...

[team_work]

yea how loud is it since its just straight pipe no muffler??

[JLAUDIO85]

**** that looks good man...i always wanted to hear straight pipe on 2.5

[theoctopussi]

it's raspy and throat when idling at a stand still... between 2 and 3 x1000 rpms it gets really deep then fades to a raspy howl lol and when the car cuts on it rumbles a bit... its sick. I'll film tonight and post the vids at night or in the morning.

and the rest of you thanks for the feedback!

i heard my 3.5se straight piped and it sounded bad ***! didn't get to drive it or anything though, the guy at the muffler shop just reved it for me to hear and then put the muffler on lol

if you guys are really anxious about hearing how it sounds, someone did the same thing to a 2.5 A/C a couple weeks ago (kept the stock resonator though) and posted a vid.

ya that was me lmao its on youtube, and the cams dont fit our qr, they changed something with the motor in 2007 so the guy at nismo said nothing for the qr will work, i even called jim wolf and they said the same thing , o and here is my car

[JLAUDIO85]

ohhhh thats sick...i must have totally missed that threadk um i have noob questions...can u fit a X pipe?? if so, will it sound different than straight pipe?and is it bad running w/o mufflers??thanks lol

[mmadore118]

well we cant have an x pipe due to us only having one header, you would need at least a 6 cyl, now i seen some cars with one header and it splits out in 2 so they can do it, but not us as of now lol, we can only have a y-pipe. umm as far as the no mufflers well.. its not bad, idk what the laws are in different states with sound and stuff but its ok in CT were lucky with our cars cuz they sound great with just the resonator on...alot of 4cyl sound raspy or rice, but ours has a nice deep tone

[mmadore118]

video soon... pulls like a *****, low and high end is sexy... sound is sexy. **** is just sexy. lol to each their own - I kept the stock tips for, um, the stock look lol just wanted to post this...

if you put closed tips on it, it will sound deeper, cuz the stock ones are open in the back and you lose alot of the sound and tone from that...but looks great

[ADKSaad1387]

straight piping is badass! my parents would never allow it though

powergains from straight piping?

[niztec]

sometimes it might decrease HP, since there is no back pressure right??? but thats in some cases....

[SniperJoe]

OK - dizzy now looking at the video sideways!!!

Lets hear a road test ... scream by the camera a few times

[Hussain]

no that's torque. the more free flowing it is, the more HP you'll get (to a certain extent). but if it's too free flowing (like having no muffler) you'll lose back pressure which means you'll lose torque. so pretty much, in the 1/4 mile or when your racing someone it'll be faster at the higher RPMs. but if you try to pass on the hwy without down shifting, you'll actually be slower.

i thought about it before, 3.5se has more then enough torque for daily driving but then again it's illegal in Cali plus it would become annoying on a long trip or something...... sounds great when you're hauling *** though! lol

[Mr_Coupe]

u know r tuned is not covered under warranty right? s-tune is the legal one

[theoctopussi]

that's we kept the 2.25" pipin to maintain a steady flow since no muffler was there to restrict anyway...

[theoctopussi]

no torque loss... beautiful launches and it pulls more at low rpms and the high rpms are smooth and a bit more powerful - best exhaust mod of all my cars for real...

[theoctopussi]

you're right, but it doesn't bother me lol
