Nismo or Borla Exhaust ?

Okay Guys. I know I am asking for a bias opinion. But I want to see what the vast majority prefers and why ? I am sorta taken away by the Nismo, but 1190 seems a bit out of rmy range. I found the Borla for 720 shipped. What do you guys think is a better buy ? Ive heard people see that you pay a little extra for a better exhaust. Do you all agree? THANKS GUYS !

Neither! I have the borla and it is okay but I saw a guy with a B & B performace true dual exhaust and it looked and sounded awesome!

LOL, everyone has a different opinion. AFAIK, B&B does not make a true dual exhaust. Personally it was too loud and ricey sounding for me so I got the Borla instead. I do prefer the tips on the the B&B (the entire exhaust looks awesome) but could not handle the sound. You might want to check out Fujitsobo, its basically the same as Nismo and a little cheaper.

How do you like the Borla ? Can you notice a difference at low RPMs?

B&B is Billy Boat Motorsports, they make the Tri-Flow series which are awesome systems! You can see a vid of a 350Z with the B&B system here:

http://www.bbtriflo.com/av/350z.html

It's a single inlet, dual outlet setup, like the OEM exhaust. The can B&B uses is smaller, hence the reason why its hidden, and the tips they use look similar to those found on the Nimso system.

Re: Nismo or Borla Exhaust ?

I say you go with the Fujitsubo. DUC I listed to your sound clip and I thought sounded perfect. Are any reasons your not suggesting the Fujitsubo besides maybe the large tips?

Re: Nismo or Borla Exhaust ?

Oh I love the Fujitusbo, would recomend it to anyone in a heart beat. I was just answering the what's B&B question....

And regarding the large tips of the Fujitsubo, I think they look great! They're among the largest of all the aftermarket systems for the G, without looking too out there or out of place. I'm not a big fan of oval, rolled, angled or sleeved type tips, so the Fujitsubo's simple polished straight round tips really work well in the rear exhaust slots of the coupe.

Re: Nismo or Borla Exhaust ?

IMO im going with the Nismo over the borla.. The borla has way to many parts and crappy clamps which can be a problem anytime in the future with leaking.. The sound isnt much diffrent at all.. The Nismo noly has 3 pieces and sounds a lil louder then stock but with the same sound as the OEM exhaust. They are both pretty much the same as far as performance is concerened.

Hope this helps.

Did not know B & B wasn't true dual but it looks and sounded really good. My borla is a little deeper than the stock and no worries about the clamps. Make sure if you or somelse puts it on, they know how to do it.

Re: Nismo or Borla Exhaust ?

Alright I found the Nismo exhaust for 899.95 from perfromacenissan. They are based about 30 min from here so I can pick it up and not pay sales tax.
Ive heard a couple say Fujitsubo is a ripoff of Nismo ?
