Well, I just bought 2 of them.

I still have mine in the box, and my friend has his on his otherwise stock 240sx.

Now for the important shtuff:

Great build quality. Mild coated steel piping with a stainless steel muffler. TIG welds that are so precise, I would go as far as to say that they look robotic. 2 peice, with minimum bends and 80mm all the way. Fitment is superb, no problems at all, nothing to bend, nothing to clear, and nothing that makes funny noises while driving. It points up at the end, but no so much that it is tacky, just the perfect amount.

P.S. I always buy from Jspec. great guys with good rep and quick to answer emails. Always provide tracking information and always have great deals. I'll try to post some pics later on.

Ive seen the rocket b4, the canister looks is pretty small and the tip is narrow, only a bit larger den the piping (proly 90mm). Looks like itll provide a low idle.

Looks nice nun the less. its got that nifty small look.And its cheap.I myself have been more partial to the border 304max.

kineticniwa - dude, is that u robyn
