down pipe mods
cat-back closer to the firewall

just wondering need ideas

it sucks hitting reflectors in the freeway when switching lanes

n1smo413 · 02-22-2009, 09:22 PM

dont have pics right now but what i do is i put hose clamps around the exhaust hangers before and after the diff.I tighten them as much as i can so it sucks the exhaust up a little more,plus it makes it stiffer to.

Matej · 02-22-2009, 09:33 PM

Who needs strobes and underglow when you have sparks.

YoungGun · 02-22-2009, 09:35 PM

Straight pipe, sounds badass, and it doesn't scrape as much.

hotlavaflow · 02-22-2009, 09:39 PM

In for pics.

I just had custom exhaust done 2.5" DP and 3" SS all the way back. I'm not super slammed yet (winter in NY) but I'm going lower in a few weeks. I'm looking at my setup and looks like it should be fine, it will be close though. I might try the hose clamp idea to save a few mm.

fromxtor · 02-22-2009, 09:39 PM

Custom would probably be your best bet.

Matej · 02-22-2009, 09:44 PM

Stock exhaust sits highest.

killab18 · 02-22-2009, 09:46 PM

i want to make like an oval exhaust piping. this way it would be flatter but wider and clear better.

there is a company that makes a downpipe like this for the sr20's

only bad thing is that if it takes a good hit, being oval it would dent alot easier. but if i ever get the money im going to try it.

Shift-240 · 02-22-2009, 09:50 PM

i have a s14.
custom 3" to 2.5" blastpipes...hits the floorboard of th car...

02-22-2009, 09:56 PM

Custom Oval

killab18 · 02-22-2009, 10:19 PM

nice. that thing probably gets really good clearance huh. any more pics or anything of this setup. like with all 4 wheels on the ground and under shot? im probably asking for too much now. haha

*brndck* · 02-22-2009, 10:27 PM

oval downpipe ftw. circuit sports cobra type. and hose clamps around exhaust hangers.

YoungGun · 02-22-2009, 10:28 PM

Circuit Sports has a oval downpipe, I still need to put mine in.

articdragon192 · 02-22-2009, 10:51 PM

RSR Ex-Mag. Only scrapes I got on it were from getting stuck in super steep driveways. Piping was pretty much immaculate when I pulled it off to sell it. The connection between the header and the car were lower than the exhaust itself. And this was on shitty hanger bushings as well, Would have sat even higher if I had better bushings in place.

drifter_for_life06 · 02-22-2009, 11:03 PM

my GP Sports EXAS SPec D huggs the chassis pretty nice. Was designed to do so...not frame scraping, but decently low for Pennsylvania roads

mondojackal · 02-22-2009, 11:55 PM

Just don't get an HKS Hi-Power. Mine's not close to the body at all.

I'm definitely gonna try that hose clamps on the rubber part of the hangers, though. My exhaust always loosens itself up really quickly. I know I've got a KA, but it takes literally about a week before it starts rattling again once I tighten it back up.

*hOngsterr* · 02-23-2009, 12:34 AM

mine was pretty good, its the hks 65mm catback. i admit its huge but hey i waiting for rims to come up so i can put it back on.
btw sorry for thread jack im also selling it, used to two weeks lol

you can see the incline the front of your car is on

I was literally going to come in here and post the same thing. This exhaust is low and with some hanger wear it gets even worse. Sounds nice though...

airhead · 02-23-2009, 10:15 AM

so custom oval shape exhaust?

just tired of hitting those reflectors in the freeway kinds have to dodge them all the time.

ill take a pic of my exhaust later on today to show you guys wat im talking about.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, it's my favorite exhaust for sure, but it just sucks for ground clearance. I got some hose clamps today, and once I finish installing my header tomorrow, I'll tighten up those hangers and see what it does for me.

adrians_s13 · 02-23-2009, 12:22 AM

couple of tips:

downpipe position is usually the main concern. Chop off a couple inches off the "down" part to tuck the piping closer to the body... and all is good. I'd take a picture of my DP setup, but you get the idea.

also, tighten up the exhaust bushings with some metal hose clamps, you can save up to about an inch or more

tramp_drift240 · 02-23-2009, 12:29 AM

good info adrian.

i think its about time for some fender-exit exhaust setups.

aoiken3 · 02-23-2009, 12:54 AM

wow. i've yet to experience scraping against the reflectors on the freeway.....guess i need to go lower

yeah...that's fuckin low.

I will probably have problems with my skyline, my s13 isn't gonna go horribly low. the oval exhaust is a great idea, it gives a different exhaust note too.

haha... shit is scary. Before I modified my DP, my flex piece part of my dp used to hit freeway reflectors when I changed lanes. I had to plan out my lane changes accordingly and dodge reflectors, because when I hit them, I'd feel the piping hit me from under my seat, and it would hit hard!

I'd also scrap like crazy doing 3 pt turns in neighborhood streets that "hump" too much toward the middle.

*hOngsterr* · 02-23-2009, 01:05 AM

lol the incline isnt high at all,
its a low driveway, but when i walked back to look my exhaust it was loww lol
but this is it parked leveled, still hella low.

drifter_for_life06 · 02-23-2009, 01:12 AM

65mm is huge? are you joking?

SoCal-s130 · 02-23-2009, 01:17 AM

Yeah I have no idea what I am going to do when I get a 3in exhaust. I take out reflectors with STOCK exhaust. My frame rails be gleamin.

s13dan · 02-23-2009, 03:20 AM

Trust DD has the best ground clearence of any mass produced s13 exhaust.
Cant beat it.
