nissan will void ur warranty if u add an exhaust.whether u get nismo or anything.
its illegal
yes i know.
howevr u can do wt i did,
i put the exhaust and removed it everytym i went for servicing lol
but eventually i got an impound so decided screw it..
its illegal yes..it voids ur warranty yes.
i asked unni whether air intakes are ok..and he said no.
so basically anything u touch related to the engine voids ur warranty
this is wt i have learnt for now
thanks for telling me!
I think i'll just stick to the cosmetic changes, at least till the warranty ends..
thanks Leroy and ashwin

You minght get the permission for bodykit in dubai ...but if your registeration is of Sharjah then everything is illegal whether you put above 30% makhfi, bodykits (+spoiler), exhaust or even Xenon.
best of luck !

If the dealership is ready to bring it for you then you won't be having any issues with the law.You might get pulled over for a loud exhaust but you will not recieve a fine if you show them your exhaust's invoice from the dealer.I can assure you of this because I do the same whenever I get pulled over for my Gibson exhaust on the Wrangler.This applies to any part supplied/installed by the dealership.

WHAT?!
so basically everything is illegal in Sharjah, thank God my car is not registered in Sharjah, I have AD Plate.. can I still get the permission for body kits? can I get it from Dubai?
WKZ, if I install the exhaust i will lose the warranty
this stinks, what about all the lowered cars we see on the streets and the cars with bodykits, exhausts and even vinyls.. are they all ILLEGAL?!
this can't be!

bodykits - as long as the car is recognisable as a nissan altima coupe shudnt b an issue..dnt know bout shj but dnt see it to be a problem generally..
aftermarket exhausts void warranty.
springs and rims void warranty too..but only ur suspension warranty. (exhausts void everything)
vinyls r allowed as long as u have registered the car with the color of ur vinyl.
this is all recent personal experience.
hacker.as long as its lips or minor changes to the bumpers u dnt have to get any permission.only color needs permission.
lips u can get from anywre no matter from dealer or anywre.doesnt void any warranty..its not illegal.

So guys I went to the Shj Police Traffic Department today to get final answers to everything in my mind, they told me that they do not have any permission for any kind of body work, so in the street you might get stopped or not depending on "how magnetizing" your car is
AND YOUR CAR CAN BE IMPOUNDED!
and all kind of exhausts, lowering and engine modifications are illegal. But the good news is that you can get a permission for adding colors or paint work to your car, and I think any car can look good if you paint it right... << A YELLOW Altima Coupe with BLACK RIMS and BLACK SPOILER!
but that's just my dream

I'd rather have slightly less speed and much more feedback.

ok, but can you compare the interior of the 2 cars?
the Coupe is more civilized even if it had a manual gear box, and actually I think the coupe handles well, it just nead the Recaro seats from the clio

The Clio will downright embarass the Coupe when it comes to handling.
Yes the Altima is more civilized, so much that it is almost numb. I prefer a more sensory experience when it comes to cars, shouldn't feel like an appliance.
End of the day its your choice and you should go for what makes YOU happy
