Rally Exhaust?

[Leonthefaded]

A few months ago I won a gift certificate for $500 off on any Exhaust Package at DJ Motorsports Winterfest Carshow here on Oahu.

I've held onto this Gift Certificate for in hopes that one day I would have an awesome system on a GSX. Well now I have the GSX, but never really researched a decent system for the car

I dont want it to sound like total s*it. I hate raspy s*it sounding exhaust systems. My GS had a really low rumble, kind of muscle sound to it, never high pitched. That system consisted of the ebay header and downpipe w/flex pipe section, stock cat back to a Borla performance muffler.

The GSX obvisously needs something alot bigger but I want something in the future I wont have to upgrade and at the same time meet my needs and wants.

Is there a rally exhaust that can meet my wants?

$500 off any exhaust package and they pay the shipping! I gota jump on this one. I'll be running a 14B turbocharger w/a knockoff tubular manifold. Currently the stock exhaust system is on the car.

Open to any suggestions!

Rally exhaust? Oh buddy.

Can it be custom or does it have to be pre-made?

 

[jtmcinder]

It will have to be a one-off since no-one (in their right mind) rallies a 2G. Two words, dude: suspension travel.

You should probably ask them what exhaust they can get for your car

 

[Leonthefaded]

Lol No one wants to rally in thier baby, I just have a thing for the exhaust systems


Now they do mendrel bending of pipe so they can fab up a custom exhaust. The $500 from the answers they gave me can be installation and the cost of materials or installation OR ordering a system and them installing. Either way I'm getting a free or significantly reduced cost system.

They can get anything, if they dont have it on hand they will ship it in.

Apex'i N1. Great sound, good looks, and will only cost $500 after your discount! Haha.

really? A 1000 dollar exhaust system. ill look up some pictures and see. I wish there were better sound clips online

Well the full turbo back setup is $1000. A bit overpriced, but it DID sound great. I miss that exhaust.

Did that come with or without the manifold?

+1 on the turbo-back Apexi N1
It's a great sound, and is great in increasing spool time.
Only thing I would even think about trading it in for is a Greddy PE

Greddy PE. I'll have to look into that one as well. I'm almost sold on the Apexi N1 Catback system. i need to find a soundclip fast so I can decide fully and let these guys know what system I want.


I really like this one, but its a combination of two brands. might cost more eventually but the sound is decent as heck

Whether it's your "baby" isn't the issue. I have a pristine Evo X and I take long-cuts to drive on dirt and gravel whenever possible. The issue is the lack of suspension travel on a 2G.

Or did I say that already?

$1000 for a freakin' DSM exhaust?

I'm in the wrong business.

Custom made with a Magnaflow muffler. Amazing sound and won't show off with an oval twin outlet muffler as it'll appear stock.

I absolutly love the idea of that. Keeping the stock look and getting the no showy sound and awesome performance the car deserves. Kinda like the Borla I had on my GS, it was extremely low profile.

I called them and they gave me the run around at first but ultimately told me I have to bring it in for the exhaust guy to look at it.

Right around the time I found out what "Epic Meal Time" was... cause I'm f***ing smart! No seriously where you been at! I got one last week, I'm doing a full restoration of the exterior, lots of PMs and repairs, then a small buildup.

I found out btw that Dual N1 is on a 240sx... the possibility that it COULD work is there but, it problably wouldnt sound the same. Back to the Apexi N1 being my top choice in this. I just dont like that rough idle sound. Alot of these Ebay cat back systems dont sound too bad, but I dunno about ebay for exhaust parts anymore... alot of shoty workmenship in them.

I have 3" SS from the turbo back to a Dynomax muffler, no cat. It's a nice mellow sound that makes a little noise when you get on it. It's deep enough that my V8 friends can accept it as "legit". I haven't had anyone say anything other than good things about it.

And no, I don't have any good sound clips of it. The mic on my camera doesn't do it justice.

Where have I been at for a week.Umm it's a week, calm down yo.

Lets get some pics of this hawain GSX!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best pics of it are in my build journal. Other than that ill have some snapped if I get off before it gets dark.


I don't think ill ever go catless on an exhaust system. I'm really digging apexi right now unless someone has some soundclips that can outdo those apexi clips I found I think this might be done

 

[eligst21]

I dont have any real sounds clips of my car, but my exhaust is a 3 inch megan racing full turbo back. It sounds good. Not too loud driving, but when you get on it, it opens up. I also havent any issues while running my 16g on it. Might wanna check that out. Not sure. Exhaust to some is just preference.

All you need to stage-rally is a catalytic converter... You'll save a heap not using a muffler :3

I never considered that, its a very interesting idea. I could eliminate the muffler and use straight pipe.

But I've seen straight pipe cars and heard them too... its not pretty.

I didn't notice anyone mention the Thermal R&D catback?
