Wow that looks nice. How much did you pay, does'nt it cost like 600 pounds :o Did it come with mid pipe and downpipe ? And most important how doe's it sound? Sorry for all the questions I'm just trying to compare it to the Mongoose exhaust.

It`s CAT back. So it`s not as dramatic sounding as it could be but it has an extremely deep hum on tick over.The hum is actually quite loud standing round the back of the car. It really does sound impressive. Whilst accelerating hard i cant say i notice too much sound from it. But i noticed a definite power increase.
I`m going to get the CAT`s off next as i want it to scream and pop like a rally car to match my insane eyes and screaming insane loony effect as i talegate mere mortals on the motorway at 120mph.
They`re £687 at Norris Designs but i got this for £240 from a guy on the internet over here.

I don't know for sure, but heard somewhere that if you take the cats off an s14 it causes computers errors...not enough back pressure or something like that...

O2 sensors, cat's on S14's have O2 sensors that if you get rid off, the engine light comes on and stays on until you fix it. Don't know if you can take off the O2 sensor and not have an error, probably an ECU reprogram.

1. Why take off the cat? It will end up in a loss of backpressure, and unless u r turbo you will lose horsepower.

2. I think the 240sx might fall apart after 120 mph on the freeway, unless you get some suspension upgrades. Hahah.

(I didn't notice when I was going 140 in my Z, but when I get over 100 in the 240 it feels shakey.)

It`s not a 240 m8 it`s a UK200SX 2litre turbo and it does about 150mph top wack i think. I do 120mph+ a few times a week with great ease and tons of acceleration still under my toe.
Norris Designs do a De-Cat pipe for this exhaust so i`ll be getting that soon.
Yeah lucky sod i was thinking of getting a Z when i was getting this. But i went for some 1997 14,000 miles security instead. I think if any cars are going to fall to bits out of our 2 it`ll be yours m8.

Ne ways dave, why does your front end look higher than the back end?

BTW, I don't have my Z anymore, but if you are talking about falling apart at speeds the Ztt would smoke you, but if you are talking about overall, I agree that the Z isn't very reliable.

Uhm, that's definately not right. &nbsp;Even in my unstable-as-all-#### roofless wonder, I can go 110 smoothly, and my good ol' coupe went 125 the way most cars go 80. &nbsp;If yours is shaking, start checking stuff out. &nbsp;Because, man, it shouldn't.
