if it doesnt fit just cut the damn flanges off and weld the sucker in....Ghetto Style!

The key is that they have the 45 clock between the flanges that one has. Then it just bolts in.

Hey S14 DB, is that just a test pipe or is that RESONATED TOO? Im trying to see if i can get a resonated test pipe thatll muffle my exhaust tone down a bit.

***S14DB*** · 12-29-2004, 11:08 PM

resonated test pipe

*fliprayzin240sx* · 12-29-2004, 11:17 PM

Did it actually muffle it a bit? im running HKS downpipe with a test pipe and Blitz Nur-spec. Too damn loud with out the resonator. Debating if a reosnated test pipe will be enough or imma just go to a muffler shop and have em weld another resonator somewhere in my exhaust.

IMHO it made it more quiet at idle and lower RPM's. After that the exhaust out flows it. It is also glass pack and not SS so it dosen't work when cold.

beware Cali guys! Cops are now sticking mirrors underneath your car to check for cats. Automatic tow if you don't have one.

I have that exact one, the little brackets are so you can put on the heatshield for the cat, to give it a more of a cat look and hide the fact that your rockin a test pipe, but S13's need a nut to block the 02 sensor hole, otherwise your gonna sound like a UPS delivery truck, i got a M12x1.25 bolt from autozone and tightened that sucker on there, keep it really tight.
