Car_Crazy84: yea, i agree with everyone else that you got ripped off. thats just a cheap company trying to make quick money on cheap parts. its to bad you didnt come to us before ordering that, we could have given you some suggestions on good exhausts for the same price.

Yep - My guys are busting on it right now, should be ready for sale in approx 2 weeks.

Dyno testing had to be redone to make sure we didn't LOSE any HP going with a different muffler.

Can't wait to see how that Dual exahst turns out. Thats what I like 2 tips not that single tip crap.

you shouldnt get ripped off if you look at the products our sponsors sell so id start there. real coilovers are the whole spring/strut assembly and usually have a lot of adjustments that can be done to them but that makes them cost more. if you want these expect to pay at least $1000 but you will prolly end up paying around $1500-$2000

ohh kk thanks for the advice. does anyone know by any chance how much horsepower increase do you have wit dual exhaust?

Website · Post by **TurboKA37** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

what do you mean by dual exhaust? dual tip or actually two exhaust pipes from around the cat-back? the only dual pipe exhaust that i know of is the apexi N1 dual and i guess BRM is in the making of some. if you plan on keeping the KA non turbo then you should probably go with an exhaust that has piping around 2.5". the N1 dual has been know to retain good torque and give some high end hp on non turbo KAs. if you go with an exhaust with too large piping you may lose some low end torque (although i havent seen any dyno charts showing this on the KA). I'd wait and see what BRM is making, Im sure it will be a quality exhaust for a decent price.

yaa that apex n1 dual exhaust is what i am talking about. no i am going to turbo my KA. that exhaust would be ok if i turbo my engine right. When is BRM going to come out with their dual exhaust?

Post by **AZhitman** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

You can put TWO turbos on the KA and there is still no need for "dual exhausts".

We are doing a dual tip design for the S13, but there are currently no plans to creat a true dual system for the 240sx. If there was a benefit to be gained besides appearance, it would be done.

Dual exhausts allow the exhaust gases to cool significantly, thereby decreasing their rate of expulsion and hindering flow.

I'll be SO glad when this "fad" towards bigger exhaust piping finally dies down. I, for one, will do all I can to provide accurate and timely info rather than rumor, myth and conjecture.

p.s. TKA37, thanks for the kind words.

Hmm, this is an excellent point that I had never considered before. I'd also guess that it would effect NA cars even more than turbo cars since they rely so heavily on the scavenging effect of high velocity exhaust gasses.

VERY true.

There's so much more to exhaust than just pipe size and types of mufflers...

More education to come, hold tight kiddies!

I'll go fetch tha beatin' stick!

Post by **Car_crazy84** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

no what i am asking is if you turbo your 240sx that exhaust would be k? becuase i hear that you cant have pipe to small its got be like 3" if you goin turbo?!?! and pipe cant be any bigger then 3" that right..so dual exhaust wud be betta to gain power then single one? anyone know any good deals on exhaust let me know!!!!

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

Basically 3 inch is standard for a turbo car. Some folks run a 2.5 and it is just fine but the 3 is pretty much the norm. As far as "Dual Exhaust" I think you are confusing this with a dual tip muffler. The reason for a Dual tip Muffler is so it has more ground clearance and IMO looks cooler. The Apexi N1 dual is good. If you wait for about 2 weeks BRM should have their Dual tip cat back for sale as well.

alriteyy i ll wait and see then..i need new rotors mine rear ones are gone.. i have ABS on my car but i wanted to get the drilled rotors from ebay but they dont have ABS now what do i do

Website · Post by **TurboKA37** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

first try shopping at actual car shops. ebay can be good for some things but its also full of a bunch of crap. check out enjuku racing, phase 2 motortrend, and heavy throttle (all are our sponsors you can see on the left) they will be carrying quality parts

Post by **Car_crazy84** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

alritey i will see where i can get em! oh ya where can i get good price for coilovers i dont got 1000. i am gettin my car painted right now so yea. keepin it the same colour.

Post by **jdmfreak** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

Wellif you want good coilovers, ten thats what you're most likely gonna pay. Id suggest getting tha KYB AGX shocks and Eibach Prokit springs.

Post by **Car_crazy84** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

are these good i saw this deal off ebay KYB AGX Adjustable Shocks Set for 95-98 Nissan 240SX

Post by **Mr1der** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

pretty popular shock really, some have preferences though.

what was the price?

Post by **Car_crazy84** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

umm they are $395 US and 550 canadian.. but these shocks will give me really good handling around the corner and smooth ride right?!?

Post by **jdmfreak** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

395 is a total rip off. Just check out the our sponsor sites on the left. They have all the parts you need at great prices.

Post by **Car_crazy84** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

i dont see any sponsor on the left!wierd cuz alot of peeps tell me go visit the sponsors sites when i dont see any on the left lol

Post by **AZhitman** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

You don't see a column of brightly-colored boxes on the left side of your computer screen when you're on NICO?

Scroll up.

Post by **jdmfreak** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

LOL. Or you can go to the home page. They should be the first thing you see.

Post by **Car_crazy84** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

Are you talking about where it says forum sponsor or where its NICO General forum. Underneath the general forum talk theirs like section that Bold and have different colour, is that it or NO . if not then i dont see the sponsors anywhere.

Post by **Nathan** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm

Yes, it says forum sponsors, then has a long column of banners for sponsors. Are you on a Mac? Do you use an unusual internet browser?

Post by **Car_crazy84** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:51 pm
