im going to be using lowlifekustomz monunts and was seeing that i need to use the stock downpipe. This meaning a r33 or r32 downpipe? or S13 sr20 downpipe? Will a r33/r32 downpipe bolt up to my catback?

Yes.

An SR20 will work also, but you have to rotate (cut -rotate-reweld) the upper (inlet) flange.

id be hesitent to order a driveshaft from a company that doesnt offer mounts. Every companies mounts put the engine in a different location which could cause the driveshaft not to fit if it isnt bought from the same person that makes the mounts

just my .02

I don't know whats the big deal with everyone screaming about the location in which their mounts place their engine. I would think that every company (reputable) will place the shifter to be in the stock centered position. So that makes the tail shaft of the gear box in the same location. Thus, all the driveshafts should be close the the same length. Since many make theirs to have alittle play to allow movement in the engine/transmission as well as installation/removal ease.

$300 aluminum is killer. Wish i would of saw this earlier.

why not ask them for the measurments of the alum shaft and compare it with LLK steel shaft? I would think alum is much better being that its lighter. Ill be in the market for the shafts also..

Anyone have pics on these mounts? feedbacks? i think there are 2 on this forum that has used them

You could always get in touch with shaftmasters and verify the length. I'd imagine that they'd shave or extend it a bit for you if you needed it.
