WOW, WOW, WOW!! Did I say WOW! My car sounds awesome!

First let me thank Jason @ Performancenissanparts.com for going above and beyond the call to get me these parts in time for my installation appt. He more than took care of me and I recommend him for any performance parts you need. When you deal with suppliers (as I do in my work) it's so refreshing to deal with someone who keeps his word.

Ok for the new Nismo & Cats, the sound is very aggressive. I'm 37 married w/kid and have never had a car with an aftermarket performance exhaust so that will tell you my perspective. When I first started it up, my mouth dropped. It does sound something like an Italian exotic and slightly raspy. It is louder than I expected and I will be more conscious when driving in my neighborhood to keep the rpms down. It is loud enough at WOT that it creates a few slight rattles around my rear deck(not sure if it's the window). My dealer has heard and installed the Borla and said the Nismo has a more agressive sound.

The performance has definitely improved. I don't have access to a dyno in my area but from what I can feel it's dramatically different. It pulls so much harder. My butt dyno tells me at least 15hp!!

Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. I just need to get used (and my neighbors) to the aggressive sound. If you're looking for looking for a dramatic performance increase & exotic exhaust sound, you can't go wrong with Nismo & RT Cats.

congrats, is the sound bearable when you are driving? would it annoy the wife? I'm asking because I'm considering going with a different exhaust myself. Did you get a decent price? And did you get an infiniti dealer to do the install? Sorry for all of the questions, I'm just really curious.

 

Thanks tonio,

My wife hasn't been in my car since the upgrades. She did like the sound at idle though. She's really cool and was excited for me. The sound can get a little loud at certain gears and rpms. In sixth gear there's a slight drone that could annoy some people. If your wife is sensitive to sound I wouldn't take her on a long highway trip. Other than that, just drive less aggressively if you want to keep the sound down.

I felt like I did get a good price from Jason / performancenissanparts.com. You can get one for $899.95 from him. I did have my Infiniti dealer install both parts. What I understand is the Nismo exhaust warranty only applies when you have a Nissan/Infiniti dealer install it.
