RagingKileak Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Gonna have to see what comes up!! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I don't think any will 'come up'. Most will be put up for sale and will be bought instantly. Why don't you just buy a new one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Coming from the person who wanted to strap a chavvy evo style single tail pipe to a zed The thing with lemmngs is that they do things in numbers. Vast numbers. And vast numbers of people can't be wrong about the Nismo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinGT Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 bugger you got me there i only wanted that cos it was CHEAP and would've been a good centre section. just every man and his dog has a nismo, aye its nice, but its a bit boring looking.

AndySpak Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'd go Nismo if I were you. Its the only brand of exhaust that is widely appealing to almost all prospective 350Z buyers (I say all because some people don't want any extra noise). Before I bought my Zed, I would probably have been sceptical about a DC exhaust but if it had a genuine Nismo on it I would have found it more appealing. Lots of Zed buyers make their purchase before they find sites such as this one and learn about whats good and whats not. Just my two pence worth...

AndySpak Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I haven't got one but I'm sure I read a post on herea while back saying that the standard zorst is something like 82db and the Nismo is 87db. Someone with more knowledge can probably tell you for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uneducated buyers can relate with the nismo kit and nismo wheels and therefore a nismo exhaust. Thats not saying its better than a DC but before I found these forums I would of just thought it was another chavvy halfords zorst You buy a Nismo for £800 you'll be able to sell it 2nd hand for £500 or so down the line, so it actually only cost you £300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yep go Nismo, but that's only my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 The problem with exhausts is that you are getting no power gains and noise is subjective. Picking an exhaust from a video clip is daft IMHO as cameras and mikes vary. Going to meet is a better idea but standing around outside the cars is only half the story because that's not what you'll hear. The only way to be sure that you like the sound of an exhaust is to get inside someone's car and hear it throughout the rev range and on the motorway at your usual cruising speed. Now most of us don't have that luxury so we come on sites like this and take recommendations before taking the plunge. On that basis, the NISMO is undoubtedly the safest choice as there are tons of owners with it and a clear consensus that its a fine sounding exhaust, not to loud, not too chavvy and pretty good quality (it has been known to split...). IMHO anything else you buy you take more of a risk with as the user sample is far smaller. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingKileak Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Wow, way to f*ck up my thread! lol.

shire350Z Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 i was thinking exactly the same mate which one to go for !!! heard the nismo and like the guys say not much louder than standard so went for a DC!! as thought there wasnt much point spending that amount on a exhaust to hardly get a difference !! in my opinion the nismo looks nicer but DC sounds better plus its quiet when you want it to be and loud when you want it to be with no droning!!! dont think about what the buyer might think to the system your buying it for you and you can sell the system before the car and make a few quid back!!! But thats just my opinion you could always come down to chesterfield, theres a few guys here with nismos and iv got the DC so worth it if your thinking of spending that amount of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD7 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Without trying to hijack the thread! Is it fair to say out of all the exhausts, Nismo is likely to be the one most recommended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Sorry, I wasn't very clear! It was a ? Most people will recommend the Nismo. Great quality, sounds ace and very very easy to sell on second hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingKileak Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 To be honest, ive done a fair bit of research on both. What I cant do is find any stockists really. Envy seems to have a dead website, I dont wanna buy from Nissan because they have displayed incredible incompetence in all dealings with them. And I dont really wanna spend 1500 or whatever on the DC from the place EVO went. If someone can point me at either exhaust brand new for £800 ill buy it now. Or either second hand for £500ish.
