I'm jealous right now. I have a RS*R right now but once I swap engines, I'm going to get the Nur Spec R.

Love it! I am a big fan of Blitz exhausts... I ran the nurspec for awhile, then switched to realize tt for a quieter tone. Both exhausts sound amazing.

Honestly I have heard a lot of the s***ty cheapo exhausts like megan or the ebay ones, and they sound like a**. Sure your not going to see much of a power difference between a knock-off and real exhaust but when it comes to sound, a quality resonator and muffler make all the difference..

The only thing I have against this exhaust is how low it hangs, especially on the s13. I have a custom exhaust and it's just a little lower than the frame rails all the way back.

same here, mine was a knock off SR·S whatever brand, but it doesn't sit low or hang like a lot of the others I've seen. Even if it's knock off, it installed no problems and they apparently did something right since it's at the right height.

I've always love the way this exhaust sounds in this video clip: (this is sunnys14's s14 before he went turbo)

So we just installed it, man does it sound nice, very deep with a veryyyyyyy agressive tone.

But....BRM is far deeper with the 22" resonator with stock manifold lol.

I did not read anything but i would think people might be ragging on you for spending so much.

I think it is money well spent and an amazing exhaust. It was going to be my choice if i was not able to get my hands on the circuit sports exhaust.

Have fun!

Circuit Sports FTW. Discreet looks. Deep sound w/o being loud. 3 inch piping. Win Win Win.But... I do wish it tucked up just a little bit better...

Too bad the cat converter is leaking some exhaust by the flanges etc. . . So it's fine if I leave it? Or should I fix the leak?

What does NICO think? Should I fix the leak that's coming from the end of the cat, or should I leave it? What are the pro's/con's of leaving it, and letting it leak?

A. Do you just need a gasket?

B. I cant believe how many cheap retards are actually comparing a nice exhaust to ebay/muffler shop exhaust! incredible I tell you.

No, we used a new gasket, the one that came with the exhaust kit. However, there was some sort of RTV gasket around it before with the OEM exhaust right after the cat. Just peeled it off. I think the flanges on the cat are just rusted out.
