Nismo Exhaust:
Install took me approx 4 hours including an oil change.
Stock piping
Bringing it home in my Z from Performance Nissan
Comparison of stock exhaust vs Nismo exhaust
The scene
Taking off the stock exhaust was a pain in the butt.
I bought a steel pipe from home depot, 1" dia, 18" long. This totally saved me during this part since all of the bolts seemed to be fused on there. I didn't think it would be since my car is still so new but the first time I tried to break the bolt I broke my wrench instead..
The pipe helped in giving me the extra leverage I needed in order to break the bolts loose.
the aftermath, notice the can of liquid wrench and WD40.
stock exhaust is now gone, i resisted the temptation to turn on the car at this point.
Nismo piping installed
Look at how shiny it is!
