any 2.5" catback would give you about the same performance. (2.5" piping is what you'd want)

I like the Trust PE II which I picked up for $350 from 240sxmotoring. Great sounding exhaust! Actually liked it better than my HKS Hi Power. It has more throat sound when pushed hard. Too bad, the price gone up back to $600 now.

That new Dmax revolver exhaust looks pretty sick, thinking it might be time to upgrade myself.

If you plan going turbo, get 3" so you don't have to upgrade later. Honestly I would get a cheap exhaust off eBay. Look at it like this: A pipe is a pipe, is that $600 exhaust REALLY going to get you that much more satisfaction over a $160 eBay one? Mine was great for about 2 years, then the packing blew out of the muffler so I cut it off and scored a 3" Apexi' N1 muffler off craigslist for $80. My eBay exhaust might have taken awhile to get it to fit correctly, but now it is exactly how I like it.

If your a pu$$y and don't want dirt under your finger nails get an expensive exhaust and fitment should be great so you don't have to touch it again.

PS: This is all opinion, don't get your panties in a bunch if my post is offensive to you ;)

If no reply from the site, then try here. Its pretty much NICO's exhaust. Just ask in there or email greg(azhitman).

I was just gonna say.... the biggest difference between ebay ones and legit ones is the fitment. I mean, some ebay catbacks really fit like CRAP! I'm not even gonna mention how bad the welds are.

imo, do it right the first time

All preference. Honestly I didn't mind messing around with mine, and having to fix little spots here and there. Saving the extra money is worth it. Plus, working on cars if fun, so with the eBay one I got to work on my car more. For me it is a win win situation (less money more working). Bug again, that is me.

I have a full catback race exhaust that sounds so deep and good, but if you want stock look then go for the dual pipes that are 3" each. Looks dope and clean

How bout a blitz nur spec II, the muffler isn't too big and I have heard great things about the sound it makes. Also it's relatively cheaper than most cat-backs, only around 400-450 I think.
