Really? Um, not to sound outdated, but what does that look like? how much was it? I never wanted to replace my stock becuase Nissan made that "special" muffler to increase HP.

Although I don't know what the intake looks like, that special muffler is in a way a marketing pitch. Aftermarket systems like the GReddy Evo cat back is dyno proven to increase the HP over the stock sytem. Although it doesn't increase it by much, it is an increase and one that is throughout the entire range. Although the exhaust system coupled with an intake does provide noticeable gains as people have said on the .org.
