Whatever it is,it looks damn nice. However it should have some kind of brand marking on the can or tip? Even just a symbal or marking ? Ask the seller to check,and email you any pics of what he found if he can't ID it himself.

It's probably just some random shop-brand N1. Most big name companies have their name on the piece somewhere...

I'm digging the loud pipes save lives sticker. I'm going to have to get one of those when I get an exhaust. :naughty:

Another thing I just thought of....what sized piping? Mandrel bent?

I'd say go for it if the piping diameter size meets what you need,and hes 100% sure its for your car. If the muffler sounds like shit or something add a resonator or replace it with a higher quality one and keep the super piping.

how much do you guys think it's worth? it's 3in piping. Im thinking about trading my rims for the exhaust? worth it? My rims are 17in OZ F1 racing.

Pruto-you saying that his looks small or URAS in general?
GhettoKracker-Mandrel bent? is that better or worse what's the difference? I know that mandrel is more restrictive rite?
Think i sould still trade him for my rims? :ughd:

most likely not blitz, blitz will label everything.

Mandrel bent is LESS restritive:)=More flow.

Mandrel bending pipes is a process where a smaller pipe is inserted into the pipe being bent,and both pipes are put on a bender,that way the innter diameter of the pipe wich is where the exhaust patch actually flows through is the same.

Crush bending,wich is much more common, is MORE restrictive=less flow. Stick the pipe on the bender,and bend it thus crushing the inner diameter and inhibiting flow.

That piping looks very well bent/very straight. IMO it should flow/sound good....at least look good. If it doesn't sound good I would slap a resonator on there; Believe me it makes a HUGE difference.

BTW:If you don't end up trading those rims,how much would you sell them for?

i posted them up elsewhere but here, and i was asking for 350+shipping for them. I just happen to run into this exhaust and asked the seller if he was interested in the trade. he said yes! If this deal don't fall through i might list the rims here for sale. BTW Thanks for clearing that up for me Kracker, i had the whole mandrel bent thing all backwards.

it looks exactly like my uras rs exhaust...for some reason uras doesn;t mark their exhaust system..does it have hollow hangers? if so i'm like 99% that its the uras rs system

Forget about the loudness of the exhaust. i've just looked through the gb and damn that one hell of an exhaust. If it is a URAS i'm gonna squeal like a girl. :coolugh: Thanks everyone for your help!! :bow: ya'll rock :rawk:

uras looks small in general. it looks small in the picture (tip relative to piping) plus my uras didn't come with any labling so i'm guessing Uras.

its fairly loud without a silencer, BUT not as bad as other turbo exhausts (DD)

of course its mandrel bent, look at the freakin thing. if you can't tell the diference between mandrel and crush bends visually you fail...
