Well, after a good 14 months of stock s13 exhaust crappiness, I upgraded to a 3" turbo-back exhaust... all ebay parts to boot. The downpipe was the 3" ebay RB25 downpipe, but damn did it fit perfectly on my TopHat mount equipped S13 :ihit . The test pipe, mid-pipe and rear section were all ebay "JDM-Sport" brand. $275 shipped for all Overall fitment was awesome, and no rubbing anywhere. The catback came with many gaskets and nuts and bolts.

The car feels 100x better. A little more power, much smoother powerband and KILLER sound, with zero rasp and quite docile in the decibel department.

And before you laugh, watch the vids to hear the sweetness:

I like the crackle pop at the end of your first couple of shifts.

Sounds badass man. It makes me sad mine isnt running at the moment due to a destroyed shifter fork in the transmission, i love the sound of my RB.
