best overall s14 exhaust

[jsasrsr]

my friend and i are currentley searching for the best exhaust for his s14 sr20... so far its between the kakimoto and the apexi noir... does anyone know any good ass exhausts? especially those rare jdm ones? he has a rsr right now and its pretty shitty. opinions and noise input would be great too!

[Brian]

Buddy Club Spec. 2


PROVEN to be the best exhaust for S14.

[GSXRJJordan]

^^^ hehehe I actually have a brand new BC Spec 2 sitting in my garage, for sale. With the optional silencer. BH says it's the best.

Anyhow, I had the Apexi WS Noir on my S13, and while it's more expensive than having a similar setup custom made, it sounds great and is street-legal quiet. The 4.5" tip kind of gives it away though.

[jsasrsr]

i hear good about the bc spec II, I hear theres a spec III now for the s14? and with the silencer, is it still loud as crap? does it sound good? and is it under 100db?

[jrocslider]

anything reinhard

RH02

i still lovem y bc spec 2 but when the chance (meaning $) comes i'll be the owner of a Reinhard RH02

[jsasrsr]

i kinda like the reinhard rh03....but where the hell do i get it?! whats the price over here?

[s14_legend]

the apexi noir is a really good exhaust...the tip kinda kills the sleeper status

[gprb25]

I've personally only had the Apexi GT Spec ... and I love it!

Not quiet by any means, but if you like big exhaust...This one's for you!

The HKS and GP Sports titanium exhausts sound awesome too.

[s14freak93901]

not sure about best exhaust system or nething. does it want something loud/quiet? try to search some names on youtube and maybe that would help you out. if your looking for something really good and inexpensive i would recommend GP sports and they sound great as hell to. you could pick a gp sports spec D for about $350-380 i think it was. 80M catback no resonator.

[fliprayzin240sx]

+1 for Apex'i GT Spec, loud under throttle, but quiet enough just cruising.

Ive had a Blitz nur spec, like those too. Currently running Buddy Clubs and theyre okay. Better than unknown exhaust that my car here had.

[eulalia]

aspec has a sick exhaust called blast pipes

if not go buddy spec II hands down i wish i got that exhaust.. lol

i have invidia exhaust, i love it its quite when driving slow, and pretty loud when you punch it, best of both worlds

http://www.tprcincy.com/store/images/Invidia%20%20Exhausts.jpg

[ramman434]

If you're willing to fork over the cash I would go with the Blitz Nur Spec R cat-back. I've had mine for almost a year and a half and love it... It's a little loud, but you get used to it. It has 3" piping, a 4" tip, and it's angled so it looks good. I got mine for $520/shipped.

[250sxdet]

Fujitsubo makes some very high quality and nice sounding exhaust.

[JRas]

best in what way?

I've heard the buddy spec II's are loud as phuck

[jussjepbrox]

bc specII wid a test pipe = instant performace DEEP DEEP TONE (not loud) not ricey at all and its super light 20Lbs

[projectdrifter]

dart izumi.. chea babie loud performs and sexy.

[keioffice]

dart izumi.. chea babie loud performs and sexy.
were can you buy dart izumi exhaust in the us???

[innovations]

supposedly reinhard's source of titanium was bought out by someone, ive been waiting for mines for a quite a while from bernard (teknolust) but hopefully they come in soon

[MikeisNissan]

ebay Motoria is pretty damn good.

[devonkyle77]

[projectdrifter]

[OBEEWON]

OOO, Trust. How do the silencers sound? Silencers usually make for an exhaust leaky sound.

Ive only had Greddy and Apexi Dual N1. Like the Dual N1 sound

[bigOdom1]

go to your local shop that welds. tell them you want three inches all the way back, if you have to have a Catalytic Converter then order a Catco first, also order a magnaflow, etc bullet muffler and some tips like aspec blastpipes what ever thats what i would do

[nismo tuned s14]

HKS hi-per ftwzz

[Koopa Troopa]

Ive had on my S14

My car, Tomei 270 cams, T04S turbo, 80mm downpipe and test pipe

Dart Izumi - No resonator, too fucking loud. I'd be legally deaf if I daily drove the car with that exhaust. It sounded badass though.

Buddy Club Spec II - Loved it but it the lack of muffler got attention from GOJ car inspectors.. Had to go

Kakimoto Mega N1 (gutted out completely) - 90mm piping is a plus..Drove the car for all of 3 minutes with it on.. Friend said it sounded bad in a non good way and compared it to a Civic with an Ebay muffler. The car back fired when being jumped and it was louder than a .50 cal being shot. The noticeable "my cams are too fucking big" idle sound my car made was gone and the exhaust was decently quiet at 2,000 RPM. I love it so far!


However if someone were to ask me what exhaust should they buy I'd have to say Fujitsubo Legalis Super R

[jspaeth]

I've only had my Greddy EvoTT, and I like it because it is really, really quiet.

[95KA-Turbo]

OOO, Trust. How do the silencers sound? Silencers usually make for an exhaust leaky sound.

I don't run the silencers, there is no need (I have it on a NA KA right now I'm sure it'll be even quieter when I get my SR in). The exhaust is SUPER deep toned and sounds amazing. I just wish it had a 3" main pipe...as it is made for a N/A SR.

[98s14inaz]

If you haven't looked into it I'd recommend skunk2 exhausts. Long story but I ended up with a free one...3" full stainless with that slant at the back. Clean welds, great fit, nice sound. Came with all hardware and gaskets.

[dynamicck]

Turbo and full titanium exhausts sound badass. there's a different tone that titanium exhausts have.

Really. I've heard titanium vs. aluminum vs. stainless, all with the exact same sizing/volume/packing on bikes, and you can't tell a f*cking difference. They all even look the same, except for the hot parts (stainless turns a nice bronze color, alum turns dark grey, and ti turns the sexy blues).

Ti exhaust on a car is lame. Spend the money on a nice seat/wheel/turbo/date. Anything except a 10lb weight savings at the very bottom of the car.

If only they still made the DD"s :bowdown:

I'll have to +1 for the Blitz Nur

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNvwe39HIms

[illvialuver]

I have to second the vote for Trust DD.
i think they are pretty rare, i have not come across another person with one yet. but i know they are out there.

[viscid240]

I have and love my GT Spec on my s13 w/ sr...Plan on buying the B/C Spec 2 for my girls s14...

[dragon_x330]

I personally like the HKS Hi Power exhausts. They sound really nice, and are relatively cheap.

I'd look into:
-BRM
-RSR Exmag
-Megan Racing Type 2
-Circuit Sports
-Or the rare Dart Izumi exhausts. They're no longer being made, though.

[J40sx]

are you going for the stock look, or N1 style
I know the Buddy club spec 2 and 4 is loud and mean as hell
The Rsr Exmag gt2 is also mean

For the stock looking ones, the blitz TT Realize

[95Blue240sx]

Ive had my uras for a couple years now and love it. Its a 3" catback, no resonator and N1 style muffler. I can post pics if anyone is interested

[randyjordan]

done.

[TiNMAN]

custom mandrel piping with a vibrant on the end. :bigok:

[Maximamike]

RS*R Ex Mag GTII. Shits awesome. Buy mine.

[sunnys14]

Blitz NUR Spec R FTW.

I bought one back in 2004, it was the most fucking expensive exhaust at the time, $720 shipped!

[NSR250]

i have Circuit Sports, stock looking to prevent from being pulled over by the po po.

[YoungGun]

I have a s13, so I can't participate sorry!

[TiNMAN]

RS*R Ex Mag GTII. Shits awesome. Buy mine.

very nice sales pitch.

[Maximamike]

very nice sales pitch.

I'm broke. :(

[jspec240]

HMMM ATTAIN 3.5" Titanium exhaust. Extraordinary flow. Im pretty sure close to the lightest you can get. and its only a 2 piece exhaust. no room for a cat on this beast lol. I have a pic of one I had on my fd but Im gonna have to dig it up.

you gotta be on baller status to get one tho.

if you are looking for one for the price Id say the apexi duel:) and a dude is selling one for 300.

[blitzkrgCT9A]

Apex'i World Sport NOIR is my choice. Maybe because I am just old and loud exhaust just doesn't do it for me. Less attention = Less ticket = Less headache

http://www.evolutionmr.net/img/images/blitzkrg/apex'i_s14noir_3.jpg

[JohnD1079]

Im in to reference this for later.

I need one for my s14

[Koopa Troopa]

Turbo and full titanium exhausts sound badass. there's a different tone that titanium exhausts have.

Because of thinner walled tubing.

[dynamicck]

Because of thinner walled tubing.


exactly. there's a raspier sound to it.

[Brian]

I would say, get some badass titalium exhaust.

BUT, as was just stated, they are THIN as hell.
So, if you have a super low car.... OUCH.

Also, if you make HIGH HIGH power, chances are, it will crack.

I've personally seen some full titanium exhausts for 80 supras that tear apart like a soda can.

[2ilvia]

oh yosh! thats my kind of exhaust

[Tenchuu]

short of a $$$$ titanium exhaust, i will always go with a RSR GT2, had others, non looked and sounded near as good. fit is top notch and it flows vary well.

[RUTH'LESSDET]

3+ for the apex-i gt spec
I used to have a apex-i dual n1 on my s13 loud under throttle...just the why i like it

[Full-Lock]

ive always liked the works9 one that looks similar to the dart izumi.
im not a fan of canister style tips..im changing mine out at the moment..

that noir one looks really nice too

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

go to your local shop that welds. tell them you want three inches all the way back, if you have to have a Catalytic Converter then order a Catco first, also order a magnaflow, etc bullet muffler and some tips like aspec blastpipes what ever thats what i would do

this is probably the best choiice for people looking for an instant upgrade over stock but doesn't want to fork over $500 for a BC or Apex unit. Pay for a inline muffler by Magnaflow and have a muffler shop bend up the piping. The problem with that for serious drivers is the bends.

[Cone]

Fujitsubo makes some very high quality and nice sounding exhaust.

Shh. Don't tell anyone. I get compliments on mine all the time. I like mine cause it's quiet and has a really deep tone. It has a square type muffler in it to keep the sound down.

[250sxdet]

Yea i love my legalis. It looks nice and sounds really nice with a deep tone. It is pretty quiet unless you step on it though. It sounds nice on my RB25. Fujitsubo is one of the few jasma approved exhaust companies, so the quality is really nice.

[Cone]

I forgot to mention that I have a power getter. What exactly does jasma mean anyway? I thought it was Fujitsubo's manufacturer or somethin.

[95KA-Turbo]

I want to say it is a stamp of approval for being a certain quality/noise level in Japan? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

[rb25crazy]

i got an 5zigen border 3 exhaust, 2.75" piping. it's on a ka24de nice deep tone and quiet when cruising only gets loud when you go wot. cops never give me a hassle and it's got a clean oem kinda look. that's why i got it for deep tone, looks great, and shiny yes very shiny =D. i know you got an sr20 but, the piping for sr20's is like 3" so the difference isn't all that much.

hope this helps you.

[Full-Lock]

JASMA= Japan Automotive Sports Muffler Association

[floodo1]

for stainless you could go Espelir. Just make sure you get the silencer (unless you have too much power for one) because it resonates at 2800-3000 rpm on a KA motor, and its SO FUCKING LOUD, your ears end up rining after about 20-30 mins of driving without the resonator.

really though almost EVERY big name brand is going to be good and tons of companies offer 3" + piping....or do the custom route...custom is what most of the honduh high power guys do around here anyway

[Teknolust72]

JASMA also means that you are getting an exhaust that meets certain government requirements for road-usage and durability.

[Jung918]

i'm running the HKS 85mm. no complaints.

[inxdifference]

i have a rsr exmag 3" all the way. quiet. nice sound. looks somewhat stock.

[coreansurfer]

apexi gt spec with ats.

love it.

[jinesz32]

so then i recently sold my bc spec II exhaust to a friend and i miss it :( it was a nice sounding exhaust, im thinking on what to get next, i want something that has that nice deep tone like the bc spec II, not really sure what i want, best exhaust i've heard so far was the blitz nur.

[wylin]

personally i liked the HKS 25th aniv. full stainless exhaust i had on my s14:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2069/2362834317_6c366319cc_o.jpg\

85mm piping, fully stainless, and very rare. I consider it the Amuse R1 titan (rare z and s2000 exhaust) of the 240sx world its both quiet at low rpm with a big bassy rumble, very rare, and wickedly looking .

[jinesz32]

i want something thats deep and sounds mean. =/

im going through regrets.

[nwmrkt]

get some blast pipes with straight piping, mmm.

[huffandpuff00]

get the trust/greddy full titanium piece. its around 12lbs and the titanium has a different but nice sound.

[moonshinekouki]

ive had the 3inch tanabe medalion racing on my car and on ka its sounds bad ass but with my rb i hated it.

now i have a apexi n1 sounds BAD ASSSSSSS. but i just got my hands on a real authentic nismo s14 catback. dependign on the sound and perfornamce of it i might jsut keep my n1 cus i love the rumble it makes :)

[kuruptR]

AMUSE R1 Titan! CRAZY


But they make shit like this tooo

[DohcKA]

rsr exmag gt2 is kooo i got one for my 86.... lookin for dd's for the s chassis

[a_ahmed]

^That amuse car is nuts!

I just got BRM's exhaust for my S13... I know not S14 but you can get an s14 one too, it actually sounds beter on an s13 for some reason and I think it may have to do with the s14 being a little longer...

http://www.zilvia.net/f/vbpgimage.php?do=full&p=2289&d=1210367297

^If that does not work its in my vbpicgallery...

Full stainless, 2.5" piping, 22" resonator, dual tip muffler (sleeper..), less cop attention, plus loud = not necessary. It's mandrel bent with magnaflow parts basically...

[swpdwgn]

well personally i run open DP on my rb20 haha

i had an hks hi-power on my car before i sold it. low deep tone but still loud enough to make you smile every time you boost. :naughty:

[!Zar!]

I ran/run Trust DD's.

Best exhaust ever.

Next up will be Buddyclub spec 2's on I cop one.

[Lith]

Yea i love my legalis. It looks nice and sounds really nice with a deep tone. It is pretty quiet unless you step on it though. It sounds nice on my RB25. Fujitsubo is one of the few jasma approved exhaust companies, so the quality is really nice.

I see people with the Fujitsubo Legalis R cat-backs for S14's, but I can't find a single site that sells them. I only see the Fujitsubo Power Getter cat-backs for sale..

[deuceforty]

buddy club spec 2 or blitz nur

well it really depends on what you want to use the car for..

[adoboboy]

I run a stock S15 exhaust on my S14. Bolts right up with the same hangers and everything. 2.5" piping instead of the 1.75" or whatever stock s14 piping is. MUCH better top end and still very quiet. Has a nice rumble to it.

wow, I didn't even think of that.. actually sounds something I wouldn't mind getting. My OE exhaust is getting old and I need a replacement, but I really don't want anything loud or anything that would attract attention.

Where did you end up getting an S15 OE exhaust from?

[xplicit240]

Yeh check out Greddy/Trust exhausts. they make like 5 different kinds of exhaust for the s14. www.trust-power.com or www.greddy.com

i ran the power extreme on my 13 and my friend ran it on the 14.

Greddy also has the New TiC for the s14. good price.

Fujitsubo Power Getter seems to be better aimed at Rb swapped cars with its 76.3mm to 89.1mm piping size

same can be said about the HKS Hi-Power with its 85mm

[Yellow4g63]

I had the Trust Power Extreme 2 on my S13 and it was too quiet with my RB20 motor. I could hear the motor more than I could the exhaust. I have a GT spec now for the S14 going to try that one out hope its as nice.

I got it free from a friend who I used to work with. :keke: It was laying around his garage and had no need for it since he was running an HKS w/ his RB26DET.

No idea how he got it here though.
I did a side by side comparison with my stock exhaust and it was clearly not the same piping size. Didn't think to take any pictures, would have been great tho.

From the back it looks very much like the G35 sedan twin tip, single sided exhaust. (Not the newer body that's out now)
