The Brief
The owner wanted a catback exhaust to wake up the VR30 on his NISMO Z. The factory exhaust is restrictive for what the car is, and he wanted something that sounds the part without being over the top for daily use.
The Build
Straightforward catback swap. Factory system off, HKS Full Dual Muffler on. We went with this system because it’s a clean bolt-on catback designed specifically for the RZ34 platform, with stainless construction, titanium tips, proper fitment to the factory mid-pipe, and a sound level that suits street use without droning on the highway. Everything lines up to the factory mounting points with no modification required.
The Result
The VR30 sounds like it should have from the factory. Deeper tone under load with a clean note through the rev range, and no drone at cruise. The titanium tips sit well in the NISMO rear diffuser and the build quality is solid throughout.
