Upgrading Exhaust - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Im saving my money to do the SR20DET swap.  I dont have enough yet  but i was wondering if it would be smart to go ahead and up grade my full exhuast? would that cost more in the long run?

upgrade after u get the sr u wont like what happens to the car if u get a turbo setup on there now, u'll lose some torque

The 240SX has enough torque to go around. If you have the money your gonna do it eventually just get a 3: cat back.

there would be no point in getting headers right? or a down pipe? but a high flow cat and 2 1/2 or 3 inch piping would be a good start untill i got the swap right?

no point in getting headers or a downpipe (though u may be able to get an SR downpipe to fit the KA manny with some work...the KA manny has two holes and a stud, whereas the SR manny is just three studs. What I'm thinking is that you can get a bolt to go onto the one stud on the manifold, and use the KA downpipe's nuts...and go with three inch piping if you get an exhaust now, so that when you do go with the SR you get better performance. may be loud and you may lose low end power for now, but it'll be worth it.
