S13 owners, who wants some Trust/Greddy DD exhaust?

[Sonic Motor]

Ok, looking for some opinion from all you S13 owners!

Trying to see if it will be worth it to bring back the (discontinued)Trust DD catback exhaust.

Yup, might be able to bring the Trust DD without the Greddy/Trust name.
But still made by Trust, and made in Japan.

Looking at about $500 each (give or take) for brand new catback systems.

So whos interested?


For those who dont know, heres a pic:

[Bushido]

i'd be interested for 200 bucks.

make it like dart izumi. 3in cat back and separate into dual pipes after the axle flange. no need for a muffler.

and who cares if it's made in japan? i mean, its a plus.. but 500 bucks because its made in japan by trust? who cares... its just a few sections of welded pipe...

[Full-Lock]

i think these would really sell.
if i had an s13 i would buy one definatly

[SpuGen]

maybe make it for both S13 and S14, and extend the tips a couple inches?

well, i agree its not as aggressive as the dark izumi, but the Trust DD is a great exhaust. It actually has a muffler. When you have the silencer on, its pretty quiet.

[Bushido]

i don't doubt that it isn't a great exhaust, for 500 bucks it should be.

what i'm saying is, you should look into a lower cost alternative...
mufflers make things more expensive (and in my opinion are unnecessary).

240 owners are cheap and not many are going to want to spend 500 on an exhaust, even if its made by a super JDM brand.
Lower that price by 300 and you have expanded your potential market exponentially.

Count me in if theres one for an s14

Well, bring back a discontinued exhaust isnt going to be cheap.

I know exactly what you mean by the people unwilling to pay the premium price.

IF this exhaust is going to be bring back to life, it will be very limited I suppose, and of course, very exclusive.

If people want cheap exhaust, there are plenty of alternative such as the buddy club(pretty much just a pipe, stupid loud, bad for streets), or cheap ebay knock offs

[driftjunky]

you can count me in.

[PoorMans180SX]

If I had the money I'd buy one, haha.

I think it's a good idea though, if it's made by Trust, at least it'll fit right (unlike e-bay knockoffs).

[McRussellPants]

Mild steel draggin.


DD is crap, drags all over the place like apex-i and probably weighs like 500lbs.

[ZX88]

i really like the way it looks but i cant justify spending 500 on an exhaust and watching it get destroyed.but the clearance looks ok.

[s13hybrid]

COunt me in if I end up with a s13! How loud are these? You said earlier they are quiet, but what exactly is quiet? Is it going to be quieter than apexi GT, Blitz nur, etc?

I would definitly buy one if it is!

Also is there anyway I can get instant notification when/if this happens so I can be on board if they are limited quantity?

[Blackparade]

im in, im sure it will make my RB sound fucking amazing!!!!!!!!!

[japslapsilvia]

if it was all stainless it would be sweet!!!!

Mine sits really close to the body of the car and doesn't weigh much at all...like 25-30lbs at the very most.

It has a muffler, and comes with 2 silencers. Its pretty quite with stock SR.
Its way more quiet apexi GT and nur spec. Those 2 are canister type exhaust, so yeah....

The Trust DD actually resonate sound, and dual exit helps with noise reduction. And it looks bitchin' hahah

If I decide to sell it, I'll start a group buy on zilvia. So you wont miss it

[yokotas13]

noone but a small handful will pay for it
Hell im in japan andi wont pay the used price for one

Dart Izumi > DD
I did pay the price for a Dart

Cool, I will definitly pick one up. This is exactly what I am looking for. When do you think this would happen?

[Irukandji]

just a thought...

if it's not going to have the greddy/trust name, how is it going to be guaranteed that it is actually made by trust?

im sure they will come in a trust box, and still have the JASMA stamp on them.
It will still be exported from japan, and marked "made in japan"

There are many ways to show that its made by trust. Just trying to see who would be interested.



Also for the people who think $500 is too much, what do you guys a reasonable price would be?

[Full-Lock]

if they were priced in the buddy club spec II range i think they would do very well.

that range is what? 350-400

I agree.

It's really hard to sell anything to S-Chassis guys brand new, unless it's cheap.

Because most of the new kids are cheap asses, and most of the old school guys have either:

A) Done cars

B) Big plans and don't roll with the fads.

The cheaper that you make it, the more people will buy it. That's obvious I know, but it's the rule of thumb when it comes to selling to the S-Chassis guys until they get real jobs.

I know I'm done tryin to make money off selling stuff to these kids now.

[S13SilviaGirl]

out of curiosity, how are you bringing back a discontinued exhaust? Are you paying to have them re-make them?
