Nismo muffler on g37x coupe
From what I understand the 370z Nismo and IPL muffler are the same. They have the larger tips but should fit.
From what I understand the nismo muffler isn't much different sounding than the stock muffler. That's why your better off with the sport accessory muffler, it sounds better and is fully polished.

Ha, thanks!
It shouldn't be a problem about the s/n as long as it is an authentic part. Compare all the detailed bits in the photo. But yeah I'd go with the one with the S/N first... I doubt ppl are running around stealing mufflers though!
I bought mine out of NJ but I think the Carfax showed it originated in Va.
The bolts on my muffler were seized so badly I couldn't turn them with a breaker bar. I eventually used a torch to heat them up to break loose and had to reaheat them every quarter turn.
Not so bad once I figured that out.
Then I cleaned the threads with a wire brush on a drill and put some antisize on before reassembling.
In retrospect a good impact wrench probably would have made short work of the whole job.

I rather pay a muffler shop to struggle with the bolts than me cursing and yelling at my car..lol

I just can't see myself spending over 300 for just a muffler... at that point I would just do a muffler delete, but that would be a little too loud and I know my wife will bitch....I would rather have her bitch to me when i get that motordyne exhaust

yeah true, but for 50 bucks installed I think I rather shell out the cash. Plus I would need to by all the tools and equipment...I doubt I have a blow torch in my garage
Go for it. Get-er done. Post up how it turns out!

LMFAO..thanks my keyboard is all wet now.
I think you have a little bit too much time on your hands...
I sure will. It should be fun.
If I remember correctly, its four 10 or 12mm bolts.. That's it. No other tools besides a wrench needed, maybe some kind of lube laying around the garage to spray on the hanger to slide off the rubber hanger easier. Windex, shampoo, spit, doesn't matter lol
