Nissan Downpipes – Catted & Decat Performance Exhaust Upgrades

Nissan Downpipes – Unlock Your Engine’s Full Potential

Nissan performance downpipes are one of the most effective upgrades for turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines. Whether you drive a Nissan GT-R R35, Skyline, 350Z, 370Z, Navara, or Juke Nismo, upgrading from the restrictive OEM downpipe to a high-flow Nissan downpipe delivers more power, sharper throttle response and an aggressive exhaust tone.

Why Upgrade to Performance Nissan Downpipes?

The stock Nissan downpipes are designed to prioritize emissions and noise regulations, limiting exhaust flow and turbo efficiency. Installing a performance Nissan downpipe offers multiple benefits:

• Increased horsepower & torque – improve exhaust flow for stronger mid-range and top-end performance.
• Faster turbo spool – reduce lag and achieve sharper throttle response.
• Enhanced exhaust tone – catted downpipes give a refined sporty sound, while decat downpipes unleash a motorsport-inspired roar.
• Lower exhaust gas temperatures – improve thermal efficiency and protect turbochargers under high load.
• Perfect for ECU tuning – essential for Stage 1, Stage 2 and hybrid turbo builds.

Types of Nissan Downpipes

We offer a complete selection of Nissan downpipes designed for every tuning setup and performance goal:

Catted Nissan Downpipes

Catted downpipes integrate a high-flow sports catalytic converter, balancing emissions compliance with performance. Perfect for daily-driven cars in regions with strict emissions testing.

Decat Nissan Downpipes

Decat downpipes remove the catalytic converter entirely, maximizing flow and performance potential. Ideal for off-road, track builds or areas without emissions restrictions.

Material Options: Stainless Steel & Titanium

Material choice plays a key role in durability, weight and performance:

• Stainless steel downpipes – strong, corrosion-resistant and cost-effective.
• Titanium downpipes – ultra-lightweight, motorsport-grade and excellent at heat management.

Nissan Models Compatibility

Our performance Nissan downpipes are designed to fit a wide range of models and engine configurations:

• Nissan GT-R R35 Downpipes – optimized for VR38DETT twin-turbo engines.
• Nissan Skyline GT-R Downpipes – engineered for RB26DETT-powered R32, R33 and R34 models.
• Nissan 350Z Downpipes – enhance performance on naturally aspirated VQ35DE/VQ35HR engines.
• Nissan 370Z Downpipes – optimized for VQ37VHR setups with improved flow.
• Nissan Juke Nismo Downpipes – boost turbo response for 1.6 DIG-T engines.
• Nissan Navara Downpipes – designed for diesel torque gains and enhanced towing capacity.

Performance Gains with Nissan Downpipes

Upgrading to a performance Nissan downpipe brings measurable results:

• +20–40 HP with a downpipe upgrade alone.
• +50–80 HP when paired with Stage 2 ECU remapping.
• Improved torque delivery across the rev range.
• Reduced turbo lag and a sharper throttle response.

Choosing the Right Diameter

Choosing the correct pipe diameter is essential for maximizing performance:

• 2.5-inch downpipes – ideal for Stage 1 setups and mild builds.
• 3-inch downpipes – perfect for Stage 2, hybrid turbos and high-boost applications.
• 3.5-inch downpipes – recommended for high-performance GT-R and motorsport builds.

All Nissan downpipes are designed for direct bolt-on installation, ensuring seamless fitment without cutting or welding.

Build Quality & Engineering

Our Nissan performance downpipes are built to motorsport-grade standards:

• Mandrel-bent tubing for smooth, unrestricted exhaust flow.
• Precision TIG welding ensures durability and leak-free operation.
• OEM-style flanges for perfect integration with stock or aftermarket exhausts.
• Available in stainless steel and lightweight titanium.

Perfect for Tuning & Motorsport

Nissan downpipes are essential for tuners and motorsport enthusiasts:

• Support aggressive boost targets for Stage 2 and Stage 3 builds.
• Enhance turbocharger efficiency and reduce exhaust backpressure.
• Deliver a motorsport-grade exhaust tone with decat options.
• Compatible with ECU remaps, upgraded intercoolers and hybrid turbos.

Daily Driving vs Track Builds

For street-driven cars, catted downpipes maintain emissions compliance with performance gains. For track-focused builds, decat downpipes maximize flow, top-end power and deliver an aggressive exhaust tone.

Conclusion

Upgrading to Nissan performance downpipes is one of the most effective ways to enhance power, improve turbo spool and unlock a motorsport-inspired exhaust sound. Whether you choose catted for refined street driving or decat for full performance, our selection guarantees premium quality, seamless fitment and proven results across all Nissan models.
