I think the Nismo s-tune v1, for the DE version, is the best oem looking and functional body kit.
What do you think?
Ps. The only body cosmetic aftermarket part on my car is the Giacuzzo diffuser, although I also have the S-Tune rear spats.
Ps2. Yeah, I need to relocate the 350z logo. 😝.

Hey guys,
I’m trying to diagnose a persistent issue on my 2006 350Z RevUp (VQ35DE) and would appreciate some input from people with similar setups.
Current setup:
- Tomei V2 JPN headers
- Berk resonated test pipes
- Amuse R1 Titan Y-pipe
- Amuse R1 Titan muffler
The car runs well, but I have a noticeable hissing / air-leak type sound during deceleration (around 2500–1600 rpm).
At the moment, i have Berk gasket between header and TP, chinese gaskets between TP and Y-pipe and Y-pipe - muffler.
Important note:
When I previously ran a full Tomei exhaust setup (Y-pipe + catback included), I did NOT have this issue.
My questions:
- Do you think this hiss is more likely a small exhaust leak rather than a design characteristic of the setup?
-Could upgrading to OEM Nissan (Headers-> TP) + CZP thick gaskets realistically solve this issue?
- Or would it make more sense to replace the Berk resonated test pipes with Helmholtz-style resonated test pipes (like Helmz / ART type) to smooth out the sound?
Any experience with similar setups would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance 🙏
