if you meen duel pipes. Apex'i makes one. Duel n1. Also everyone recommends BRM for 240sx needs. I guess no rice from the reviews.

I haven't ordered one yet. $545 shiped to my house in Arizona

oh boy oh boy will you get an answer here.

though it may seem biased, we'll all vouch for a BRM, it'll seem this way because the owner/operator of this online community also happens to own and operate BRM.

Rest assured there's a good bit of people on here that run them on their 240's and love them. Styling is similar to the Apexi n1's but cheaper and sound better.

I can't really tell you much more but AZhitman will be on this like a hobo on a ham sandwich shortly to fill you in on it and at the very least give you good info on the systems. We won't push it on you, but I have yet to hear any complaints about them, only praise.

oh, welcome to nico new guy

Ding.

Apexi N1 is what everyone used to get, but with Greg owning BRM, a few people tried them out and have been pleased.

I don't have a 240, but my Sentra has a BRM and I love it every day.

BRM has a dual-style system for the S13. Mike (240kid) has one, it sounds very nice. Clean and quiet, but aggressive and angry when necessary.

Mike? Yeah, a huge one, I think 22in.

I've got a 13 or 14in one on mine and it's plenty quiet when need be.

In both cases, whenever you let off the gas or get on it there's a nice, smooth growl (except at WOT, then it's like an angry bear). Just cruising you can tell only minimal difference from stock.

Thanx for the info ppls but what i meant by dual was dual exhaust,, dual mufflers i found... And I'd rather have a single muffler on eachside... Big loud boom tubes or something.. I want a really nice deep sound... something that sounds ricerish but not like annoying high pitch civic ricerish.. I know this guy by my hosue that has a 97 prelude with a single catback that sounds so awesome,, Everytime i hear that thing I want to cry... It's almost intimidating

if anyone is trying to think of something that suites what I'm looking for please know that I don't want exhaust that reduces sound,,, I like loud deep tone sports cars... If I find like a sounds file or a video of a car that sounds like what I'm looking for then I'll be sure to post a link... thanx again

Getting exits on each side will be difficult. This is because of the design of the hangers of the 240. It would require some very interesting piping work and hanging on the hangerless side to get that to work.

You're going to have to elaborate on the sound that you want.

Here's about what it'd sound like (my Sentra sounds very similar to Mike's 240, but I have intake as well, so it's a little more angry)... http://ezarchive.com/ezarchive...3d%3d

You'll need Realplayer for that, fyi...

you must have not searched very hard. there are like 10 million different exhausts for 240's. ever since the 240 became the new civic, everyone is making exhausts for them.

yeah if your car is normally aspirated and you want to preserve the low end torque with a 2.25" or 2.5" pipe BRM is the way you wanna go. good price good fit.

if you get a single tip you're hacking off your tow hook

Wow, sounds nice. If only BRM could get their site up and running again.

you could always E-mail AZhitman...

there is a sticky on this thread with pics, videos, sounds, prices, and his E-mail (i think its [email protected]).

I have a BRM Dual tip w/ 22in resonator. It sounds AWSOME ! absolutly luv it! nothing sounds the same! it is quiet at idle but it is deep loud tone at WOT. lol its funny because nobody notices my car stoped at a light until the light turns green and i go.

Also its very stock looking (except for the chrome ) so no cop will give it a second look.
