How is the fitment of the exhaust? Does it hang low anywhere in the center pipe section?

Im running crappy XSpower exhaust the its scraping everywhere I go because the resonator hangs way too low, Im looking into either HKS or Blitz exhaust as replacement.

Thanks!

The only time mine scrapes is when I either go in or out of my highly angled driveway and I go too fast (and only the can scrapes and it is just a little0 or when I go over a TALL speedbump. I am also 25mm F and 15mm R lower due to my Nismo coilovers, and I run 205/50/15 tires. You should be fine.

FYI, I also have a ProjectSilvia front section, so I am not sure how that effects it.

The Blitz Nut Spec R is just too damn loud for my taste. A buddy of mine has it on his SR, and it is too much to ride in sometimes. The HiPower is nice b/c it is properly resonated.

exactly what rico05 said. You shouldnt have any problems with scraping with the exception of the exhaust can if you go up angled driveways or maybe a monstrous speed bump. The exhaust tone itself if very nice. It's hardly noticeable at idle.

I tried to get a Hi-Power exhaust, but apparently it was backstocked indefinitly ? I duno if i believe that.

I ended up going with the Trust Power Extreme II, its got a proper resonator aswell. Should arrive this week..

They are pretty expensive but they still sound good and deep.

$300 picked up for a 2 week used Apex N1 Single. 3" resonated. I love it. Not as loud as I was afraid it would be. The car is stock ride height so I never scrape.

I have heard some rust horror stories with Apex'i exhausts. I didn't have mine on my FC for long enough to tell however, so that could be total BS.

I love looking at my cost total and seeing that my damn exhaust cost me over $1100

I've heard that as well about them, but I'm doing fine so far.
