07+ They come with the HR motor, which has dual intakes, increased redline at 7500 rpms, and header style exhaust manifolds. They are a good 20+ hp more than previous model years. Avoid the revup models, they have problems with burning oil. Avoid the first year models, they have tire feathering issues.

My favorite exhaust system is the nismo s-tune.

This is good advice. Avoid the rev-up oil burners at all cost. Don't necessarily give up on the 2003-2004 model year because of tire feathering. In 2004 or 2005 Nissan issued a new tech bulletin with revised wheel alignment specs and offered free tire replacement. I bought an '03 with 21k miles and a new set of Goodyear Eagle GTs. The prior owner had the wheels re-aligned at Nissan and the new tires are wearing perfectly 15k miles later. I should get at least 30k miles out of the set. Just make sure that any wheel alignment is done by Nissan making absolutely sure that they use the latest specs contained in the technical bulletin.
