If you're going to modify (catless downpipe, full exhaust, etc) I like the N55. It sounds like a 2JZ when done right. Pure ecstasy.

If you're going to keep it stock or relatively stock for that matter (muffler, tune) I'd go with the comp. Comp has more power stock, better cooling, and cool seats/bigger & heavier brakes. It also can make more power with less work.

IMO theres nothing like a N55 with no cats/res & an aftermarket muffler, but to each their own. If the car is remaining stock I'd get a comp no question. I like the N55 because of how unique it sounds when it's fully modded.

Either way I would go with a manual as well although the DCT is pretty much perfect. I personally find myself bored after a certain amount of time if the car is automatic.
