Same.

Oh yeah I forgot to ask. Is it just the exhaust or do you have down pipes as well?

It's just the HKS exhaust for now. Still deciding about down pipes

Congrats on the exhaust arrived! Looking forward to how it sounds. I'm still deciding between HKS and Nismo Titanium.

I was in the same boat! I went with HKS based on build quality, burnt tips, and nice deep sound. Both are great

Is the HKS one better than Nismo Ti? Haven't seen anyone compared these 2 yet, that is the reason this is hard to decide.

It depends on what matters to you. Both are excellent. The HKS looks unique and retains that VQ growl whereas Nismo has a race car kinda sound and weighs a lot less and I guess retains warranty. I believe Nismo Ti is made in Japan too.

Yes, the NISMO Titanium is made in Japan, by special order. I could immediately feel the difference. The car feels more responsive and less constrained. The sound is refined; not too aggressive.

I have the same exhaust. Loving it. Tone is deep and it's not too loud neither. Just right!

Yea that special order for the Nismo Ti is something I wanted from a Nismo car, a specialty lol. And I believe all cat-back exhaust should not avoid warranty right? Although a Nismo part should stop dealer saying it's an aftermarket part or something like that. Just still wondering if there is any word that could describe the difference between the sounds from the 2 exhausts. And I bet the responsiveness will absolutely be better for both of them since they are both much bigger than the stock one.

Regarding the warranty, I think would depend on the failure point. If it's related to the anything connected to the exhaust, they probably will not honor it. However, if the failure is in a different part, I image it would be hard for them to claim it's not covered.

You can find videos that will give you an idea on how the exhausts sound, on YouTube.
