mmm looks nice, I guess I'll have to think about replacing my rusted out exhaust with one of those, might as well do that when I put my rb in

The only complaint I have with this exhaust is that the resonator in the center pipe hangs way too low to the ground. It scratches every speed bump and or coming up from an underground parking ramp.

For the price I paid, can't complaint much.

Did you find the S13 version on Ebay also? I have been searching on there but have only seen the S14 version. Hmmm...maybe I should email them, as I would love to by that exhaust! Looks nice, and ya can't beat the price!

Hey koukimon did you feel a good increase in power through the RPM's? I think I might order this. Thanks for the review.

You bring an air of negativity to this board yourself and you seem to think the whole world revolves around you.

Can you go 5 minutes without profanity and saying how everyone is out to get you? Its very evident in YOUR FIRST POST. Also the thread title "SSAUTOCHROME N1 style duals; A review, or how the world likes to f*ck MR RobertD" furthers this.

When asked for sound clips you reply:
koukimon wrote:i swear to f*cking god u people do not know how to f*cking read I said SOON
You are probably the worst poster I have ever seen and a huge drama queen. Don't be surprised if people have issues with what your trying to preach. I honestly can't believe you are 21 years old. I don't care if you filter out your own curse words, you come off like a 5 year old who can't take criticism. Nobody will miss you if you don't post here anymore.

Have a swell day!

I'm still in... If it rusts out and falls off, Im out $150. Woopadeedoo. It's got to be better than my crappy (squished) stock exhaust. The only concern I would have is, would it be the first thing to drag over speed bumps, or cats, dogs, whatever.. I think it sounds good.

I agree with Badfish somewhat, but I do believe Koukimon is 21... Hey K. this is the best 240sx forum in the web, the Mods can only do so much, and when you react to criticism with profanity you are getting down to their level...take it easy, Brother...one thing is for sure your review sold me out. Im getting one of this babies for my hatch....even though my exhaust is in perfect condition... I might keep it for a back up....

I am not trying to stir the pot, But koukimon, I think you asked badfish. In several of your rants you ask the question " am i wrong?".

Anyway, I appreciate your time and trouble for the review, I agree with the person who said the defense of the name brand products is an exhibition of elitism. This looks like a quality exhaust, and to be honest if it doesn't last too long I can buy three of these for the price of one Apexi dual. So Koukimon, thanks for the review and take it easy, don't blow a gasket when someone offends you, smile and nod, thank them for their post and silently give them the bird....

its a public board, any time you say something some one can, and most likely will voice their opinion on it. that how it works.

He pretty much hit it dead on, I mean your started your thread with a title like title with "how the world likes to f*ck MR RobertD" which I still don't get cause it seems like everything worked out pretty good for you, you seem pretty happy with your purchase...

then you proceed to call as many people f***** douche bag pu**ies as possible, then you wonder why you aren't better received...

i thought you people liked clever writing(makes things more exciting).i used this term to discribe "how the world likes to f*ck MR RobertD" my situation. meaning the install. or how i forgot the parts in hollywood and drove all the way to palmdale,and all the way back, drive my car on the curb and use the jack on the other side, and also having limited supply of tools(cant drag a full tool kit from palmdale so i just took the vitals combo wrenches ratchet etc.... install would have been smother and more fun with a jack, jackstants, impact wrench, but u know what i did it anyways

mind u i never insulted anyone who dident insult me first.

and its true this is a public board but this is my post. and if sombody insults me, or the products that i use, or the car that i drive, ibelive that gives me the right to defend myself in anyway possible.and since this tis a writtin problem thats how i solved it, with words

+if my post was sooo bad wouldent a mod just delete it and call it a day

P.S.i wish there were smarter people in this world, or at least people who can read and reserch an entire post before opening their stupid mouths

i thank everyone for the worthwhile contirbutions to this thread

We almost never delete anything unless its totally unappropriate, purposly confrontational or requested by the thread creator. Listen, there are like 20 people looking after a site with 34,000+ members all in their free time, the atmosphere of the forum is up to the members. Every time you cuss someone out, even in defense, you're just going to inflame the situation and create divides.

Misunderstanding is going to happen on a board like this, we have members all around the world, many who know english only as a second language. Heck maybe the misunderstanding occurs because the reader was tired, in a hurry, drunk, etc... Forgive, forget and have some fun.

Really good forum advice:-Never give to to a forum and expect anything in return.

Nice... hope you decide to stay koukimon.. Yup, I've read threads from here detailing rust... even to the point that the tips fell off, not to mention subpar welds on the hangers for the Apexi. I'm pretty sure Greg (AZHitman) dissed the duals when compared to the BRM.

Don't let the RB20 loser get to you... he's on the wrong board if he's got crap to say against the KA. And for GEO, well, I'd be mad too if I paid a lot for a system that will eventually rust out.. I thought he got it on a deal anyway? I shouldn't be one to talk, I still want a GT-Spec... SS and one-piece... mmm....

I've heard the clips of the SSAutochrome... it's too gurgly for my taste, but I admit it does sound mean, and the quality matches, if not surpasses Apexi, despite what others are saying. Sometimes you get more than what you paid for.

I swear there is nothing but f.ucking bi.tchin these days on all of the forums.. Internet drama is really getting old...

Anyway Koukimon thanks for the review... still waiting on that sound clip *Hint**Hint* I'm still up in arms deciding between a GP Sports Spec-R or an N1 Dual or this. I figure I go with this and putting the money I save into the Work wheels I've been eyeing... :

I have to say though, I dont really get this, or the real apexexhaust..whats the point in splitting into two pipes, AFTER flow as already been restricted. Seems to just be bigger and heavier for no real reason.

Some people think they need two big ol' cans out the back.

But come one, for the price.. damn... looks just as good as the apexi.

Nothing can match the flat black piping with the single angle canister.

My dual N1s have been blasted with a crap load of Chicago salt (if you live in Chicago, you know what I mean as black cars turn white) and have yet to show any signs of rust. They’re made with mild steal and then covered with a titanium particle coating. Hmm, I wonder why they'd do that? Oh I don't know... TO PREVENT RUST! The A'pexi dual N1s aren't the rusty, Midas muffler bullsh*t like everyone claims they’ve seen or heard off some stupid web forum. Unless someone actually has proof that their A'pexi dual N1s have rusted, I call shenanigans.

Back on topic: the SSautochrome exhaust has a nice price. Heck if it isn’t made of stainless, you could buy 3-4 of them for the price of the original A’pexi exhaust.

I agree, but they look cool. if everyone had the same flat black piping with a single angle canister then it would not be so special. I think that is why exhausts like this exist, for the sole purpose of variety. And maybe some top end gains. That is what I hear anyway.

No pics? This is the proof?

Heck if I believed everything that was written on the internet, I'd have a 14 inch pen15 and be earning $14,000 a week from my home.
