Exhaust Q's

[Coolen]

I have a few questions on the exhaust setup I want to get. Will these fit together, or will i need to get specific sized peices? Any help that you can provide me with is greatly apprieciated. My car is a 99 GS if that matters. Thank you!

There probably have different end flanges like all aftermarket parts.

As the headers, I wouldn't recommend getting eBay headers or at least the turbo exhaust manifold cracks or break apart more often than not.

 

[Coolen]

So what do I do about the different end flanges? Thanks for your help!

 

[1gDSM4g63]

Go to a local exhaust shop and having them put matching flanges on or have to weld the header to the cat back.

Alright thanks for the help!

ok let me clear this up first i would not ever recommend those type of headers if your definitely going with stainless steel just know the chances of them rusting are very high and the best ebay headers are usually BBP i have those the flanges are fine no fitment issues they bolt right up no problem and the flanges are flat not like in the picture.

and second that exhaust is fine since your N/A right now you want around 2.5 inch piping BUT.... if you plan on turboing you might want to consider 3 inch piping to avoid replacing it later any other questions just ask

Hope this Helps

This does help! Thank you. I don't plan on turboing any time soon. I would love to but realistically I know it wont happen so i want to build up the N/A as best i can and am starting with this. Right now i have just a can on the eclipse and would rather a full cat-back. I am also looking at the Apex N1. Does anyone have this that would like to give me some reviews? Thanks again to everyone for the help and happy Thanksgiving to all!

yeah alot of people have the legit apexi n1 you can look it up on youtube and some have the ebay one most people have good reviews about them there is a couple of threads floating around here about them i am actually considering ordering the catback you posted earlier it seems good and a guy on here has it his name is locke99 heres a video

I have a legit N1 and its great, the only thing i would swap it out for is a 3" Thermal R&D . I;m ruinning about 7 psi and the 2.5" isnt too bad at all

 

[Coolen]

Thanks for the input guys! Now, do you think that the ebay catback I first posted will pass emissions? I passed with the can thats on there now, but I don't know if getting the ebay one will change anything?

 

[phill]

as long as you have a cat. on you'll be fine. swaping out one pipe for a bigger pipe wont do anything

 

[gudz519]

yeah i agree as long as you have a cat with all of your o2 sensors installed if you want to be super safe run a bottle of octane booster through your fuel a day or two before inspections and a half hour before you go just take it on the highway and open her up a bit and youll do fine

Thank you. I'm going to order the ebay system when I get paid next saterday. I'm going to search for some different headers. Once I get some headers im also going to wrap them. I can wrap them with regular exhaust wrap right?

 

[gudz519]

yeah as long as its quality wrap try not to go cheap on that and MAKE SURE when you wrap them there is no moisture on anything and that you dont ever wet the wrap that will just speed up the rust process

try these they are very similar to mine
