Think I should just stick with JDM and go with a solid downpipe?

I've got a 89 240sx with an sr20det swap. Completely stock setup right now, but I plan on targetting 350-400 hp in the future. Not bothering with the exhaust manifold or the elbow until I upgrade my turbo. Going to be installing a high flow cat along with HKS hi-power catback once I finally decide on the downpipe.

Thanks, appreciate any feedback.
Flex sections are beneficial because they offer added protection to the DP, Turbo, and Exhaust manifold's if you accidentaly bottom out.

Unfortunately, Megan racing is the only company that makes one for a decent price.

How much are you going to lower the car? If you are not dropping down more than 2 inches then just get the Trust DP. It doesnt have a flex section but its very good quality.

MR sux. The only reason their products (except the coils) and the SS AutoCrap brands have taken the market by storm is because of the drift bandwagon that has everbody buying 240's
