Hey guys, I'm planning to change my stock exhaust and after reading hundreds of posts I'm finally down to either Invidia or a Nismo cat system. I know Invidia sells complete systems for AWD FX35 which is not the case with Nismo since some modification will be needed in order to fit the FX.
Anyways, what would you recommend me to go for?
I'm not only looking for a more aggressive sound but also some increase in performance.

thanks !
 
Nismo is not a true dual I believe but Invidia is. as for sound, I have heard Jbakers Nismo exhaust and i can easily tell you'll love it too. If you ever plan to add turbo down the road, Invidia is the way to go. also, the Nismo exhaust might need some mods to fit on our FX.

The only reason I like the Nismo better is because it retains the stock sound I like so much but more aggressive sounding. Ive heard the Invidia before and it really sounds different.
 
I have the Invidia and love it, but the thin wall tubing worries me, especially at the pricepoint that the exhaust is in. The Invidia is true dual and can potentially make more HP down the road, especially if you go FI later on. Sound is quite different between the Nismo and Invidia, listen to the youtube vids on them and see which one suits your tastes and style more.
 
I've been listening to some youtube vids and both of them sound quite different. The Nismo is more like the stock but louder but I think the Invidia sounds more aggressive.
Now one of you guys said something about the Invidia thin walls in the tubing. Do you think that could be a problem? they all come in stainless steel so rust is out of the picture.
I'm also thinking about pricing. the Nismo right now is selling not less than $1150 plus shipping whereas the Invidia there's a guy here in IS selling them with an special discount for IS members.
 
Invidia should bolt right up with no issues. Nismo needs midpipe extension, tips extended, and you would need to do something with your y-pipe being AWD.

I was the one, thin wall tubing saves weight. But at this pricepoint I would have rather had a little more thickness as it can bend/dent very easily and can crack with extreme heat. I had my tip dent from my MTB pedal hitting it. You will not see the extreme heat cracking factor.
