From what I've heard so far, if you don't have the problem yet then you should think about installing aftermarket headers, you should still pass emissions but you may fail the visual inspection, pay someone a little extra $ to look the other way. But you are at 75k so you are still within Nissan's 80k/8 year exhaust warranty, pay a Nissan dealer a hundred bucks or so to do some "preventative maintainance" and let them know you are aware and worried about this problem. I am at 75K and THIS MORNING I picked up my car from the dealer with a new (not rebuilt) 2.5 longblock and new pre-cat, free of any charges. If I were over 80K it would have been harder to accomplish but I've read about people prevailing under those circumstances as well.
