Ebay exhaust vs. JDM Catback

[MS180SX]

Okay, so i have about a 600 bucks or so to put towards my car. I am planning on going KAT next spring, so would it be better to buy a good catback from a sponsor or to buy this megan racing header back from ebay. I hate rice-sounding cars, so any reviews would hel[. i searched, but some say its rice, others say deep base. idk

Well, a catback will show negligable HP gains when you go turbo. A turboback, on the other hand, will show considerable gains, especially if you run catless.

From what I've been able to gather, Megan Racing products seem to be of surprisingly high quality. I'm a total JDM whore, and yet if I were currently in the market for coilovers, I'd probably get the Megans.

Just make sure whatever exhaust you get is full stainless, the whole thing (or titanium, I guess). You don't want it rusting off.

yeah.. i forgot to put in the link from ebay...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

see if that works

Idk if its just me but that tip way to long.

[trackslut240]

have u looked at BRM? Nico's own product, kill two birds with one stone, get an awesome sounding exhaust, and supprt the group that supports all of us... my 2 cents..thats what i will be getting coz it looks and sounds cool, just by reading about it and wathcing and listening to the videos posted here on nico

i agree also that the tip seems to be too long.... (VSJA1725)

Monster tip goes great with my monster tach! lol.. i'll check out the BRM on the audio, but what is best diameter? 3" or 2.5". NA for now, turbo next spring.

yeah.....

that tip looks stupid. looks like it belongs on a honda.

sorry, but thats what i think

if you are spending $500.00 then why not buy and apexi exhaust?

[All_Motor_KA]

You can buy an HKS or RSR muffler and just do custom pipeing. Buy a header and an intake too. You can get it all for less than 500 bucks and it will sound nice. And if you are going turbo anytime soon, 3 inch is good. Its fine for NA KA's anyway, and you won't have to change it when you go turbo.

[JustinStrife]

I run a 3" BRM w/ Resonator in my S14 with only an AEM intake, and I didn't notice any loss in power. It looks SWEET and sounds awesome!

3" should almost be a given for turbo cars though IMO.

Hit up Greg he'll give you a killer deal, and the quality is at least as good as the other sponsors.

[MAXIMUS Nismo]

hmmmm not a bad price for all of that. Imagine if greg made headers and downpipe also? A complete BRM system for about 750-800. Also develop an Intake manifold and CAI.

That would be sweet.

[sixxdeuce]

go custom, routed for as much clearance as possible.

[nismofly]

if youre planning to get a turbo, dont bother with header and intake, youll just be getting rid of it anyway

get a 3" BRM, nuff said

i just had the urge to go take a sound clip of a flyby to complement Maximus' idling and such clips, ill do it tomorrow and post a link here for you so you can hear it if you want

[st33f]

i have the megan and its too loud - deep as hell but LOUD... and the sound carries

also the tips gay... it is a good sound tho.

I'd get something from greg or if u dont have enough $ get the ssac apexi n1 dual copy - or something
