Got mine in today. Doesn't look too bad, but I'm waiting for a while to put it on. My parents are totally going to kill me.



Oh, beware the bent hanger, like I ended up with. But for 210 shipped to Canada its worth it.

I have an older SSAC dual N1. I love it. Looks fantastic, sounds amazing, especially at WOT. Maybe I'll make a sound clip some day.





Ground clearance is a little.. odd. I see no reason for it to have to hang that low. My car's a tad bit lower than that right now and I can hear the resonator graze the ground if I go over a dip too fast or something.

Other than that, I love it. Highly recommended.

I love mine too! I bought it a little more than a year ago. Under $200 was the best part. Only bad part was that the hangers were off. It is a little too low where the resonator is, and too high where the tips are. Tips melted a bit of my bumper

all these look pretty nice, i wanna see more of the vert with the sportmaxes though.

are there any big gains comparing this to a regular single pipe exhaust, perhaps a dual tip circuit sports or something?

the dual split from the resonator into 2 separate mufflers doesnt make much sense to me i guess..

The only gain out of this thing I'm really getting is an exhaust that isn't full of water, rust, and 19 years of carbon build up. Not to mention it doesn't leak and it has a nice sound, which is actually pretty subtle when you're in the driver's seat.

What was the name of the seller on ebay? Or does anyone have a link for it. I did a search for the name discountzoomparts but didnt come up with anything.

Look through the exhausts, the shipping is priced cheaper on a few of them. I know I had the option of 90 shipping or 150 shipping. Guess what I went with.

Just adding a video of my car to the discussion. Considering how much it cost, I love this exhaust.

I know this is an old topic but i just wanted to put my .02 in and ask a couple questions.

i like the sound of the exhaust, ( have had it on for about 2 weeks) for the price i couldnt pass it up for a exhaust I am only using for a month or 2.

Fitment is horrible tho. Hangers don’t match up. and i have maybe 2incs of clearance without being on coilovers. (Stance gr + on the way)

Now my question is what are yall doing with this little hanger. i can see where it needs to go but it is about 3 incs off.

Also, the 2 rear hangers are giving me hell i can get one side on then the other won’t go and vice versa.

It hangs so low because its a not so well made ebay exhaust. I hooked mine on a pothole about a month after i got it and it broke the welds right off from the mid pipe and rez... I didnt even stop to pick that heavy peace of junk up.

I think most of the knock offs the S14 guys have the most fitment problems seems like. I had a Blitz Nurspec R many years ago and sold it. I got a knock off type of the same exhaust sounds exactly the same and hasn't rusted on me. The hangers on the Blitz Nurspec started to come off though. Go figure a $600 exhaust versus a $150 knock off that sounds just as great. It really depends where you got it from. Like stated above, just because it is a knock off doesn't mean it is trash. I got a knock off Koyo Radiator and it holds up just fine.

Friend bought a Knockoff exhaust off ebay, fitment was good, sound pretty good.
All down part was if your car is low and if the exhaust bottoms out the welds crack and puts a hole in the exhaust.
