This is the future right here…Nismo surprised me by building an exhaust even more high end than Amuse (I didnt think it was possible). I still prefer the Amuse B tails over the Nismo finisher, but this picture right here is the most impressive thing I think any of us have ever seen on an exhaust…

For those wondering what you’re looking at:

those are sheets of metal welded onto the piping of this GT-R exhaust by Nismo. The purpose of the welding is to utilize air flow to improve cooling on areas of the exhaust that are most prone to high temperatures. The GT-R has exceptionally hot exhaust gases and managing exhaust heat is a challenge for companies. Amuse has STTI (a proprietary super tough titanium alloy) to combat durability challenges of the super hot exhaust temps of the GT-R, but nobody has been so meticulous as Nismo as to actually make all of these welded sheets to direct air flow.

Its no wonder this exhaust costs more than $20,000.00 Its a work of art (plus it comes with a new dry carbon diffuser).
