BRM Exhaust Install S14 240SX SE 1997

[voiddweller]

I just recieved the following custom Mangniflow exhaust from Greg "AZHitman" at BRM Exhaust.

- 2.5" Stainless Steel Catback
- 22" Resonator
- Dual SS Tips

Price: $530

They have facilities over in Miami, so it took less than 24 hours for the exhaust to arrive at my door from the time I made the PayPal payment. Very impressive!

Here are some pics. The box was a little torn on one end when it arrived, but I didn't notice any major damage upon initial inspection. The canister, resonator and tips had a good amount of bubble wrap. From what I could tell at first glance, they seemed to be fine. The welds all appear to be MIG. I had a lot going on, so I'll do a more thorough inspection later and update the post during the install.

GREAT exhaust, you'll love it. My 3" is currently in the classifieds unfortunately, I wish I could keep it with my new engine.

Enjoy!

How much does this exhaust weigh? Would you consider it heavy? I currently have an older apexi dual n1. Its 3 inches, and splits into two pipes at the resonator. Its loud, but not that loud, especially compared to all my other friends 240s. Other than a new exhaust manifold leak, the exhaust sounds beastly, and i like how it looks. However its pretty damn heavy. Eventually i want to upgrade to a newer exhast. Im rocking this one because i like it and i picked it up for $150 used, but its straight steel besides the mufflers, and weighs a good 60lbs for the full cat back.

I like how the BRM looks, and id imagine they arent loud or ricey sounding


also, $350 is a good price. I thought i remembered them being around $550

I'd say it's a little less than 40lbs. As far as price, this setup was $530. I wish it was $350

I finally had the time to install the exhaust last weekend. My initial thought was to wait until I finished the SR Swap, but it looked so pretty, I couldn't wait

I'm posting some pics so you can all see the fitment. For the most part, it looks like an awesome fit. When I have time, I need to get back in touch with Greg to discuss options regarding the hanger and sway bar clearance.

I can guarantee ours is lighter, quieter, and will outlast an Apexi N1 Dual. Simple as that.

Ask Dano about his supposedly-all-stainless Apexi that literally rusted through.

happen to have any good pictures of the exhaust on an s13 hatch? the ones in the thread that ive seen dont really do it justice, either that or it looks way better on an s14 than an s13

my friend welded a hole we found in the muffler, and its a LOT quieter now, i like how it sounds but i do want something new and lighter in the future

looked great on my S13, but for some reason it seems 1" too long and got close to the diff(aka bounces off it under load.

I'm not sure if the issue is related to my after market exhaust header or if the hi flow cat is longer than stock, but once I build up an RB20, I will try putting it back on.

I will say it sounded great and I miss the crap out of it.

Hopefully by Carlisle I can have it all together.
