im looking at getting that one, it seems to be the lowest priced full stainless 80mm exhaust available. anyone know somthing priced any lower? my exhaust is busted and i wasnt really planning on getting new stuff so im on a budget.

also does anyone know where i can get a downpipe for a ka24? previously i used an sr20 downpipe from projectsilvia but all the powder coat came off and it was rusting, + it positioned the exhaust pretty low to the ground, so i dont want to go that route again.

Holy hell that is a damn nice looking exhaust system for under $300! Anyone have a pic of it installed on an S14?

I HAVE ONE ON MY RB20DET S13.... IT IS NICE AND YOU CAN FEEL THE PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCE, ITS QUIET TOO WITHOUT THE SILENCER IN PLACE. ITS BASICALLY A REBADGED APEXI EXHAUST.

I have a megan racing on my 95 se with an sr20det and it made a huge difference. It was to quiet with the baffle in place and after i removed it it is still not noisy. For the price i would definently recommend it.

I have a Meagan Racing exhaust and I like it a lot. It has been going strong for about 6 months at this point. The only complaint I have with it, isn't really a complaint because I'm not using the silencer. If you do though, the bolt that holds the silencer in place is tapped right through the bottom most point of the exhaust. So if you were to scrape the exhaust too many times on driveways and what not, you would F up the bolt and might have a hard time getting it off.

yes, Im interested too! Is it really worth getting expensive exhausts for SR20 redtop? It looks like the apexi n1 to me. I can go with megan save some money and get a safc! Does anyone have any pics of the s13 rear with megan exhaust?
