While there is no shortage in exhaust options for the Nissan GTR, finding one with no Titanium burn is another story. In steps this beautiful full exhaust from UK manufacturer Milltek. The full exhaust system is comprised of Milltek’s Y-Piece complete with flex joints, connecting pipe, link pipe, rear silencer assembly and 4 x GT127 tailpipes. While the tailpipes are considerably larger than stock, the fully polished finish gives a cleaner, less flashy feel than most titanium offerings. No performance numbers are available from Milltek as of now, but with the company’s great reputation, you can bet that this exhaust will be a great addition to any GTR.
