I have been looking for a pretty mesh rim with a lotta lip for a while those look really good from what I could see. Are the rears wider than fronts (either lip or actual width wise?) I know this is an exhaust post, but I HAVE to know!

Oh crap, the C2 weigh 21.5lbs, I wonder if they are lighter in 17" size. Have you had any problems with tires depressurizing ont hose rims? I have heard that its hard to make a good seal ont he 3 piece C2s, any opinions/experience with that? Well the rim search goes on....

Ugh, agreed. It sounds horrible. Hiper is WAY better.

I like how the blitz makes it sound kinda hollow or resonated or whatever. This is kind of a bad example, but my perfect sound would be just like, but a little deeper maybe, in the fast and the furious when that guy in the ferrari starts revving his engine. And yes, freak, i do have a NA KA, but I'm everything I buy is in preparation for an sr

Your basing your sound on a movie where 90 percent of the sounds are special effects? not only is that silly but the biltz nurspec sounds nothing like a ferriari... ITS HORRIBLE SOUNDING... i sounds like its broken as opposed to having the after market sound.... go ahead and buy it... but dont be surprised when it sounds horrible and when you find out it sounds nothing like you wanted...

how come no one ever talks about the Borla exhausts? i've heard Borla's on a S14 and it sounded incredible. from what i hear the Borla is a little more restrictive than the Apexi and HKS, but it is an improvement over stock and sounds great without being obnoxiously loud.

Brlunne exhausts are even better than borla...they are assembled to your specs...really good stuff, I've had a few friends who had them...they sound really deep and rumbly...

i would have to agree strongly because i had the chance to listen to ferrari it i know that non of our exhaust would sound like that or better yet like this

I'm definitely with SilviaLuvr. Blitz Nur Specs sound like a loud annoying exhaust leak. I would recommend against getting this exhaust unless you really like that sound.

They just kinda purr, then growl when they need too. Plus, its like 8 more cylinders, its gonna sound a lot better. I plan on getting the 5Zigen Border3 exhaust. i like the looks and its supposed to sounds deep and low-tone.

i don't understand why the company doesn't just put sound clips on their website so you can make your decisions ahead of time. that way i will be able to join this argument, because i have no clue what any of those sound like, except the apex-i dual.

I've heard a couple clips of the Blitz and i still dont like it... however the Apexi n1 has a deep consistent tone... reminds me of the Hachi-Roku in Initial D... except lower... :)

Bolted up the Apexi GT Spec yesterday to my 98 S14. This is my first and only mod to my car so far. A turbo for the KA is coming by this summer. The thing sounds good, but is pretty loud without the silencer in. Definitely have to use the silencer here in Albuquerque with their "louder than stock" exhaust laws (3 strikes, they take your car!) I'll post pictures and movie clips with sound in a few days, and if the wind stays down, i'll post a graph of the SPL readings so you can see how loud this thing really is. BTW - I got mine from e3racing.com for $450 shipped!
