Its the same exhaust as far as fittment, however if you are running N/A, do not get the turbo application since it uses larger piping and that will hurt your performance. If you plan to go turbo in the future, then go for it.

get 3" exhaust. 2.25 2.5 no. 3" yes. any exhaust that says its for SR CA KA whatever as long as it says s chassis somwhere on there, it will fit. s13 and s14 are not interchangable FYI. also SR downpipe will fit on KA.

I dished out a lot of money for my exhaust. I know they can be uber cheap, but if you want something that sounds good, you're gonna have to pay for it. Even though it cost me, I still have no regrets.

I say go with BRM. I'll try and post a clip of mine within the next day or so if you wanna hear it.

yeah.. i was thinking of just going to a local muffler shop to have them bend me stainless steel pipes..im sure it could be had for cheaper than the shipping on some of these ebay auctions..

the problem is, do they have a mandrel bender? or is a mandrel bender not required..i need to replace my exhaust quick, exhaust leak is giving me a headache when i idle
