He wants to put a cat back exhaust system on it, but only if it doesn't void the warranty. I think that would ruin the appeal of the sound. I like the fact that it isn't too loud at low revs (I listened to one idle on YouTube). I imagine that if one were 'soft pedaling it', one could pull away from a house in a residential neighborhood (when most people might be asleep) and not wake anyone up.....and then enjoy the deep throatiness of the exhaust at higher revs once on the interstate or in a rural canyon.
Modding a GTR is like modding a Ferrari. It was designed to be a perfect balance.

More power to you for owning one in the U.S. and hanging on to your DL. I don't think I could do it. I think I might have to be in Germany .

Last time I was pulled over, the cop asked me, did I know why he stopped me.
I responded, cause you thought I was an 18 year old in daddys 100K car!
As I handed my license, and AARP card!! He laughed!!

P.S.
My hair is below my shoulders!!
