Different Exhausts

[blackwidowgsx]

Hey guys, I own a 99 eclipse gsx, and im looking to get a new exhaust for it. I looked in the parts catalog on dsmtuners and found that there many exhaust and i dont know which are good or not. I dont want to spend alot of money but i also want a good exhause with a good sound. I cant seem to find any sound clips of any of them. The ones that i seem to like are the skunk2, apexi n1, and the hks drager. I was wondoring if anyone has any suggestions or sound clips to help me decide on which one would be better. Thanks for the help and any thing will be greatly appreciated.

I have the A'PEXi N-1, and I really can't complain... except that it's not stainless. As far as sound goes, its very deep and relatively not too loud. If I was to do it again I would consider the Thermal R&D or the Espelier system that I just saw on RRE's site. (It's 80mm and full stainless) You could also consider having a custom one made and welding on the muffler of your choice... Like you said it all depends on what you want to pay for one.

I'm in the same boat as u r blackwidow. I can't make up my mind on an exhaust system. I know one thing though it's must be fully stainless steel (dp, cat. mid pipe, and muffler)because I live in the snow capital of the world (Buffalo, NY)you should keep that in mind seeing your in New England but as far as sound clips there is a ton on youtube.com.

I have the Apexi n1 catback with a stainless steel downpipe from ebay. I got the whole system used for $350. Why buy new when you can get the same thing used at a fraction of the price?

 

[Travi2506]

I've actually heard of an exhaust on Ebay(don't hate just yet) that is identical to the A'PEXi, but it's stainless steel and only like $500 or so fot the downpipe and cat-back. In my opinion an exhaust is an exhaust. As long as it's true 3", mandrel bent, and the welds are good, not having a name brand wouldn't bother me...

Don't mean to jack blackwidow's thread. mjstruck I agree, used and i good shape is alright with me, "Hell a dollar saved is a dollar earned for something else".

Travi2506 I'm with you too, 3" pipe is a 3" pipe who cares who's name is stamped on it. You should post a link if you found something like that.

 

[Travi2506]

I would but it's not what's on my car, so I don't feel right giving it a review... It's on my buddy's car... I'll try to get some pics and then maybe I'll post something. Either that or I'll try to get him to join DSMtuners...
