Who are you again?
Let me educate you, son, since you've walked into something you can't back out of.
We've sold over 500 S-chassis systems. 3 have had fitment issues that required revision, and were handled.
NO 3" system without serious bends will tuck up under an S13 chassis - it's elementary. Then again, very few S13's NEED a 3" system, but I'll leave that for you JDM-tyte guys with no real knowledge of exhaust construction and design to quibble about.
I have our system on my S13 and it's FAR lower than yours. Then again, I don't drive around like that - Suspension travel is a necessity.
"Pricey"? $445 shipped for a single-tip system is "pricey"? You've been surfing ebay too much.
Cheap steel, stamped flanges, inferior mufflers, and silencers (lol) on most of those systems... I'm not saying they're all junk, but I've cut open a lot of "jdm" exhausts (even some high-end ones) and seen the crappy internal construction.
Try returning your GP Sports or an Apex-i when the canister starts deteriorating internally - They'll laugh at you, in Japanese.
I stand behind my work.
I can appreciate putting a ghetto halfassed system on a s-chassis. I can also appreciate buying a used system. Some people choose not to do that, and you have to respect that as well.
Now, I know this all sounds a little harsh - But there's a reason for it. You're never one to back off on someone else, so you should have no issues getting it thrown back at you on occasion.
If you were 'The Authority' on building cars, I'd lend your comments a little more credence. But since I've built more cars than you've driven, I'm pretty confident in my statements...
Let's not forget, for all your supposed knowledge of suspension, we've already established that you halfassed that by mixing rigid components and OEM rubber bushings, all because "it's too hard to do."
Stick to topics you know about, and keep my company's name off your keyboard.
