drifter_for_life06

are these painted stainless steel piping?

The EXAS Spec D Pro Model is similar to the Spec D. The muffler is fully stainless, and the piping is coated to prevent rust and corrosion. The tailpipe has a titanium flare to enhance the appearance of your vehicle. The piping includes a resonator to quite exhaust noise. When you change your stock exhaust for an after market piece, you gain in power but the piping becomes bigger. The ground clearance is reduced. Because of that, a lowered vehicle will most likely rub the muffler part on the ground. Which can be harmful to the longevity of the after market exhaust. GP Sports has exposed this problem and took a look at the layout. We have designed our exhausts to tuck into the chassis more allow for more ground clearance. With this new layout, Our exhausts are more likely not to scrape
80mm Piping and 115mm Tip diameters.

Is this available with 2.25" or 2.5" for the KA24DE?

I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with gp sports exhaust? I see the claim, but does anyone know if these actually fit tighter against the undercarriage than other exhausts?

Thanks...

;)

They make a 60mm version but the 80mm is fine with ka24 and wont be noisy if you run it with the silencer in. That way if you ever go turbo you won't need to rebuy an exhaust.

DrifterProdigy85

11-06-2005, 09:21 PM

ive got the regular GP Sports Spec D and it fits very tight to the underbody. You actually have to cut the tow hook off the back because it fits that close to the bumper. Ive never scraped this exhaust and i have a 1400ft uphill rock driveway that i go up everyday. My cars at stock height though. Very awesome exhaust except for its not full stainless piping. Ive had it over a year and all i get is compliments on the sound even though its loud, even on the SR. The resonator should due it some justice by giving it a better sound. You wounldnt want a silencer either, it tends to rattle and give an exhaust leak kind of sound.

phreze

11-06-2005, 09:22 PM

Wait a sec so its $460 shipped with no silencer and its $440 with a silencer on your website, no group buy? I'm confused.

P4rD0nM3

11-06-2005, 09:22 PM

IT doesn't have a silencer...

I'm not much of a "silencer" fan. Also, the 2.25" is just about the perfect size piping for an NA KA24DE. I will gladly buy a new exhaust when I upgrade to an SR.

So, is this offered, for this price (or less) in 2.25"?. Is this an angled or straight mounted exhaust?

get some on car photos of what it looks like josh, geeze lazy ass.

AutoRnD

11-07-2005, 11:17 AM

i am uncertain yet if silencer is included or not..
hence why i am just saying it is not included..
i have not yet recieved one of these exhausts yet.

Price picked up is 460

The piping is mild steel w/ coating
and the muffler is stainless steeel w/ titanium burnt tip

Piping is indeed 3 inch and they were designed with lowered cars in mind to tuck as much as possible into the chassis

Delphic reason this exhaust only comes in 3 inch for this groupbuy...

Blazed glory.
check with the gp spec d groupbuy that just ended recently.
i actually have this on my own car and yes it does not sit as low as say an apexi N1

Sadly i do not have any pics of it on a car..
imagine the spec d with a titanium tip and a little bit quieter.

Also. stated previously.. i am uncertain if it does or does not come with silencer.

a link to my s14 with the spec D exhaust. my exhaust is a little scraped up and has rust. i did however sand it and repaint with black engine paint and its held up fine so far. i have no cat and it sounds awesome at wot. its not too loud at idle either.

460 SHIPPED

Price picked up is 460

Ok so it is 460 shipped or only 460 if you pick it up?

[url]a link to my s14 with the spec D exhaust.
holy gawd what are those? 275s? jeeez...the exhaust looks badass...thats exactly what i need, something that hugs more...im gonna start schemin'

does any one have pics of ground clearance with the addition of a resonator? whether it makes a difference or not...

AutoRnD

11-08-2005, 10:31 AM

ok so...
HEre is how pricing works..
if you are out of state it is 460 shipped
if you are in cali and can pick up it will be 460 with tax.
if you are in cali and i have to ship it it will be 460 + tax.

Now.... if you have any more questions let me know

11-09-2005, 06:03 AM

if your gonna give everybody all this pressure to drop $460 with your ultimatums then i suggest you just order it already...last time i checked, josh is holding the gb so stop trying to call all the shots...last thing a person wants or you need is for someone to be pressured and back out...what are you a car salesman?...welcome to the cons of GBs...if you cant wait, dont be apart of it...i waited forever for the 5 lug convo GB...no buyers, i sucked it up and paid more than GB price...

Not presureing anyone, but I'm not going to sit around for weeks with my fingers crossed waiting if no one else is serious. Who is calling shots? I have wanted this exhaust for weeks now and I know it will take 8-12 more weeks to come in, henceforth why I wouldn't want to wait.

If anyone serouisly is pressured into spending $460 that they weren't going to spend then maybe I should be a car salesman. Thanks for pointing out the reason why I wouldn't want to wait in the last line " I waited forever for the 5 lug convo GB...no buyers, i sucked it up and paid more than GB price" If I am going to pay full price, chances are I am not going to wait around to do so. Thanks for your time, I never knew how a groupbuy worked :goyou:

AutoRnD

11-09-2005, 10:25 AM

ok guys calm down..
i spoke w/ boss man..
we can drop it to 5 total..
so that is good..
so far 1 is fully paid for.
now... if anyone has anymore questions feel free to ask.

good to see that you didnt take the "common zilvia" approach and start e-thugging at me...and at the same time i wasnt trying to argue or call you out...i was considering this GB until i had my sights set on a bride...and money is tight for me so im just expressing frustrations that other people may potentially feel while considering a GB against the clock...

killer price from josh, hope all that do join the GB enjoy their exhausts...but for me, maybe next time around...

For those that wanted to see the pics of it installed on a car click my Sig, I run the GP Sports SPEC D..no resonator though on the one sold in Japan...its a straight shot....a resonator would have been nice cause this b1tch is loud as phuck..and yes you have to cut the tow hook off...oh yeah all the way down the page I have a under the car shot too...

ah fck it... I'll probably splurge on this. Right now I have an apex'i n1 muffler with custom piping and no resonator - it is loud and doesn't fit very good.

Carbon Fiber Silencer? I hope your not talking about the Exas Spec 2 Pro Carbon which ArD has listed as $680.

the silencer that comes with the spec d pro is made of carbon fiber right?

No, if it does come with a siliencer I am pretty sure it would be stainless steel.

ok this is for the stainless spec d pro.
the carbon spec 2 is not this groupbuy and it is very expensive.
the main muffler on this is stainless.

Hey guys I know this is a bit late and probably no longer significant but if i can give my .02. I had this exhaust on my mr2 turbo and let me say it sounds amazing. deep and mean sounding. Not to mention the build quality on this exhaust is second to none. If i didnt already have an rsr exmag id be in for this in a heartbeat.

Also 2 thumbs up for josh & autornd.

i am really interested and will buy it, but only if i can get it sooner than 60 days. i just put a hole in my exhaust, and need it asap. if you can get it to me in like 1 week or 2 at most i will pay. if not, i guess ill look elsewhere.

Well your out of luck on the spec d pro as it will be 8-10 weeks before they arrive but I do beleive he has the gp sports spec d in stock and ready to ship for a bit cheaper.

I don't believe it is still going on...

On another note... is there any update on how these may be coming along? Just curious.

Thanks!
