http://www.enjuku.com go to there SR page, they sell GP exausts, N1 exaust ECT. plenty to chose from, adn you can get a 3 inch testpiep and Downpipe while you are at it.

Why do you want custom?

Post by **240SXedUp** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:41 am

Oh, and not to post whore, but enjuku is out of single canister N1s and GP Sports

Post by **Nathan** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:41 am

Because custom is better and cheaper, why else?

better and cheaper... what a wonderful irony!

LOL.

So you're telling me that I can go down to the muffler shop and get an exhaust put together (probably crush bent)by somebody that was only required to have a high school welding class to get a job.

And that exhaust would be better than any exhaust that HKS, Blitz, GReddy, GP Sports, Jun, whoever else.. THAT SPECIALIZES IN PERFORMANCE?

LOL.

I will admit, there won't be much of a difference, but I'll take my name-brand, R&D'd exhaust over a "Jim and Bob's Muffler Special."

what if i go down and i buy mendrel bends some 3" pipe, then i take a N1 and i copy exactly how N1 was put togther and i get a actuall apexi N1 can and i put it all toghther for around 300$ is that not goin to be as good as spending 450-500 on one?

so no one knows eh???

what was the question i wasnt payin attention

Post by **lok** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:41 am

I had my exhaust done in 3in with mandrel bends at local muffler shop and could not be happier. The two guys that run the place were great and really friendly and it only cost me 85 dollars. They also welded on my after market muffler which I plan on uprading to an apexi N1 universal canister, since this is just an ebay replica. I just sat there and watched the guy work, I even took my test pipe and down pipe to show them what I needed it to bolt up to and they used the old flange from the factory piping after they cut it bigger for the 3in. I would say go for but go for with a shop that someone recommends since this is how I found out about this place.

See...Jon thinks like I do

I wasnt talking about crush bent, I'll be doing mine with 3 inch mandrel bent pipe, a dynomax ultra flo oval muffler as the main muffler and a dynomax ultra flo bullet as the resonator. I havent decided on which catalyic converter yet (yeah...I'm trying to stay legal for some stupid reason

) I have it all priced out and it comes in well under 300 for the tubing and mufflers...the best part is that it should be quieter than most aftermarket exhausts (or so I hope). Oh...and there will be no shiny tip, just a 3 inch pipe sticking out from underneath the bumper

Post by **Tai Mai Shu** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:41 am

Er, not only a muffler is needed, but a resonator, which will get rid of nasty sounds.

Post by **Nathan** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:41 am

Yeha...didnt you read the part about using the ultra flow bullet as the resonator? both the bullet and the oval are straight through design with perforated tubing through them, none of that louvered crap...the bullet is basically nothing more than a glasspack and is effectively EXACTLY what most companies use as a resonator. Trust me, I've thought this one through pretty well...I want a quiet free flowing exhaust and I believe this is what will get me there. Try reading better next time

hahaah alrite. The question was, Does anyone knows a place around BayArea (OAKLAND,FRISCO) that does custom 3inch piping, a place someone recommends?

Post by **Nathan** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:41 am

No

But I was sure enjoying the thread hijack...

Post by **theronin** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:41 am

hijack? hardly...

One80, let me know what you find.. I live in the frisco area too and am also about to put on a catback. I'm looking at the Gp sports exhaust, which is prob the 'cheapest', quality name brand exhaust around.. about 400 shipped.

Post by **240SXedUp** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:41 am

About 450 shipped from Enjuku. And thats the cheapest ive found. But they are out. There are no new N1 or Spec D exhausts in America. Waiting for new shipment

Post by **one80** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:41 am

400shipped?,gp sport? where at????!!!yea iam still debating on whether i shoud get a "bolt-on" exhaust system or custom? what u guys think? any difference? well whatever comes up i'll get.. right now iam thinkin about just gettin' a bolt on system even tho it cost i little bit more money, its worth it...

any one know where i can get brake upgrade kit? or parts? i got 1thousand saved up for my brake up-grade! whoohoo!

thanks everyone.

No N1 singles anywhere in america? thats not so good...

Post by **240SXedUp** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:41 am

Im sure a company has some. Ken at Enjuku said that the actual companies havent sent any new shipments stateside (they are located in japan). At least this is how in interpret it. If there are absolutely none in America then that is pretty weird.

Post by **Blues13** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:41 am

Check out tougefactory.com, they have the GP Sports Spec D at 400 shipped plus you get a free t-shirt! Jus ordered mine. If you want full stainless steel, u can get a new ones off ebay for 480 shipped.. Blitz nurspec.

Post by **240SXedUp** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:41 am

Post by **ImportIntelligence** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:41 am

That was the case about a month ago but we just got an N1 from Apexi last week.
