The Nismo exhaust for the new Z. Is it worth it?

[nms1s]

Just wondering what everyone thinks of the Nismo exhaust for the new Z. How much would this option have to cost for you to check the box or would you at all?

Here are some samples for people who haven't heard it yet.



I personally think it does well at adding some depth and aggressiveness to the it but I'm sure the aftermarket will have much louder alternatives.

Nismo Exhaust ranges from $1700-$2k as noted in other threads....https://parts.nissanusa.com/p/Nissan_2023_Z/NISMO-2023-Z-RZ34-Cat-Back-Street-Exhaust/120610280/B0100-RZ34S.html

If other aftermarket companies retain pricing similar to outgoing 370z/Q60RS exhaust, expect a 5% increase over current offerings for Z. So around same price as Nismo variant.

I think majority will go for other aftermarket vs Nismo

I would definitely consider this exhaust option. Factory 6spd manual is to quiet.

Wondering if this is the best option for an exhaust upgrade since its OEM, installed by the dealership therefore under warranty, available right away no need to wait for an aftermarket solution to come out and it sounds much better than the 6 speed standard exhaust. If the price is right I might just pull the trigger.

For the price you could get something that will sound better and offer better performance from aftermarket exhaust makers (Fast Intentions, Z1, HKS, Motordyne, ARK, etc.). I wouldn't waste the money on this exhaust unless you're headstrong on keeping the car 100% OEM.

Would rather go aftermarket. You'll get better performance over the NISMO.

I was hoping FI would use the 10" sport mufflers.

Billy Boat exhaust is in Mooresville, NC.

I'll bet they'd be interested in getting hold of a Z34 to fashion a set.

I have one on my Z32 and it makes sweet Porsche sounds. Not too loud, not too quiet.

bruh......I think ill pay markup on Z just to have this exhaust back in my life

BBE really bailed on the VR30 platform, they did make a cat back for the Q60 in collaboration with Concept Z Performance which has since been discontinued. To your point, it sounded great.

It’s That Good huh??

I might be biased..but I'm 1000% sold on it from my previous experience on the 370z. Listen to the Q60 Red sport exhaust.

I personally love the deep, rumble of the nissan vq/vr so this option was the loudest you could get without changing cats (which exemplifies the notorious vq hiss).

Quick clip of mine from years ago.
