My S13 and My custom stock-looking 3inch exhaust

[Animosity]

Hey guys, finally getting around to getting a couple pictures up and re-introducing my S13 now turbo'ed.


Black Top engine
T28 turbo
RPS Clutch
RPS Flywheel
Greedy elbow
Trust Downpipe
Fully custimozed 3" exhaust system with 3 inch hi-flow cat and Magnaflow muffler
Wlabro Fuel Pump
Koyo Radiator
Z32 calipers and rotors (upgraded rotors and pads)
Z32 Master Brake cylinder
Suspension Technique Sway Bars
Eibach springs and shocks
Enkei RP-01s 16"






I just got this exhaust system done about two weeks ago. It flows amazingly and sounds damn great. It's loud enough to enjoy but not loud to the point where driving the car is annoying or cancels out your music. I love it so far and it really gave the SR what it needed, great exhaust flow. I just painted it black yesterday and I love the way it turned out. It is a full 3-inch system, mandrel bent, aluminized steel. I'm going to try to get some good video clips up soon

Before it was painted:

...
are you serious man? I hope this is a parody, and even that wouldn't be cool

While it's cool that you like what you've done, at least give us documentation so we could know what you're talking about.

[Animosity]

Yea...sorry about that....I hit return and it posted. Thank God for edit...

[A Spec Products]

looks pretty clean good going

that exhaust piping could've been more straight though, thats one heck of a 90 degree bend

ah mandrel bend eh? how much they charge u?

[AllenRPS13]

look pretty clean and cool, man!

[EchoOfSilence]

yeah, looks pretty cool
how much DID they charge you?

[unwed_transient]

i like...very stealth.

[wootwoot]

Are there internal bafflings on the muffler or is it straight through?

[<3MyRiceRocKet]

Your swap looks clean, if you did not wire the car yourself where did you get the swap done?
The exhaust is nice. I am getting tired of my apex'i cannon.

[Animosity]

It was $500 out the door. He may have to modify the exhaust some as it hits that tow hook. The exhaust itself sounds amazing and has no baffles or rasps.

RnD in Montbello did the work and yea, they did a great job.

If anyone is interested in this system I could get him to make them and of course I would have him work on the bend there.

[Annoying Eric]

I see a z32 in the background............

[IAM_SO_sLOw]

hmm...for 500$ how come you didnt just get a rsr or something?

[Animosity]

Because I hate the look of a single tip exhaust and their exhaust isn't a 3 inch. Also I'm not so sure you get a hi-flow cat with the system thats guranteed for life....*shrug*


Yea...that is my Z. Trying to sell her.

[IAM_SO_sLOw]

o i see... lol i was going to go the route u did except w/ a single exhaust tip... lol i like the single exhaust tip look....except i didnt expect it to be so expensive...i ended up getting a greddy sp 3inch

Just cut the tow hook off, faster

[Animosity]

I was thinking that but it may be rubbing somewhere else...I'll have to check. Thanks.

[reefer1114]

yea just get the towhook cut. i got mine cut at a local muffler shop for free. just tip them...

[nissan_logik]

but RS*R is 3 inch....

80mm = 3.15"

i like your system but that 90* has to go. other than that its one of the best looking custom exhausts ive seen on a 240
i do like dual tips better than single tips, but sacrificing flow? i guess...seems a little ricey to me, going for looks before performance.

get that 90 bend out of there and then ill give you full props (and drool factor)

[RightWheelDrive]

Having a 90deg bend in the piping has the same drag coeff. as putting 25ft of extra piping.

[RSP13-Sideways]

I was totally thinking of getting rid of my GPSPorts Spec-D exhaust and having a custom muffler shop do the same thing.

$500 is kind of pricey though but the work looks great. I live in Norcal and I don't want to be hasseled by the cops so to keep everything low-key is exactly what I'm looking for. Looks good though man, props!!!!!!

[S13 Charlie]

Glad to see you got your car back and it looks great. I dig the exhaust, it's definitely stealth, and probably still delivers great performance. We gotta meet up so I can get a ride in your car. (like I need any more of a push to do the swap!) Come on, you know you want to buy my DT-05R's now!

cheers,

Charles

[Animosity]

HAh, you still haven't sold those? Damn man....well, I love my RP01s so that ain't going to happen.


So....I really don't think thats really bothering flow much but I can get this fixed....can any of you guys put up pics to show me what that bend should look like. Thanks guys.

Funny you mention that. I'm all for performance over apparance. If you look at my car that should be completely evident to someone like you. Not one thing on my car is for looks before performance. Everything was done for a purpose and the exhaust system was no exception. The whole exhaust system from the turbo back is 3 inches mandrel bent which is probably more than enough air flow but that bend still does bother me, and its not a problem...if I can find a better solution it can be fixed.

He is in Cali too so since its stock looking that will help keep the attention down.

[nissan_logik]

yeah yeah im not trying to suggest your a ricer im just saying that for the money, having dual tips just for the look instead of buying a RS*R single tip without the 90* is leaning in the direction. no seriously your car is nice and im not gonna start talking shit about it or you(especially since im kind of a noob here). i was emphasizing my point about bends in exhaust sucking. thats all. and about my opinion that i woulda got the RS*R instead if it were me, but your not me so its a moot point. if you get rid of the bend, then that exhaust > RS*R

[TougeRacing]

clean look but imo i wouldnt pay $500 for it.

[NSDCA]

sorry to jack your thread. but i did the same set up with the exhaust. for the s14 people. i think the dual tips look good. stock exhaust was dual. why change? haha. heres some pics. oh yeah its for sale also. check the sale forum.

looks great man.



What I was going for was the completely stock look and IMO the single tip just looks ugly on the s13. Wanting to keep a stock look, I went with a dual tip. It pisses me off that you would (not poster of this reply) comment on the "Riceyness" of this exhaust when its nothing close. I am asking for a picture of the exhaust systems on an s13 that don't have that bend so it can be corrected. I may have overpayed some for it but I'm happy with it. One good thing about having this shop do it is that they'll stand behind their work and if a better design is found, they will correct it without charge. Same goes with the parts that I bought from them. To be honest....I'm not even sure that there will be any difference in having that bend or not especially considering 3" is overkill for my setup and many setups out there running a 3".

[sideview_180sx]

you have just done what honda heads have been doing the past 2-3 years stock looking mufflers with larger piping. Are you truly getting harassed that bad in your area. Anyways, good job. Nice look keep it clean.
