new magnaflow exhaust. Titanium. Anyone have any idea of the price?

anyone use NEO oil? I've heard some mixed reviews, and the Japanese seem to like it. Plus phase2 has it for a pretty good price.

gtp, importfan, heard too many horror story about gtp, but none from their C wings line though. havent heard much from them...

and those arent even "type X" sides those are copies of aero s13 sides....

and why did they have to ruin a two tone!!!

mangaflow advertises "comparable to other brands stainless exhaust" so I would guess from 500-700 dollars. Their stuff is expensive normally so I'd guess on the high end of that scale.
I use castrol at the moment. JDM oil? hahaha. yeah and buy some JDM coolant and start having drums of JDM gas shipped over as well. Shit looks too expensive. We have a variety of high performance oils already here in the US.
GTP: known pretty widely as a crappy manufacturer of parts that don't really fit. They are a copycat manufacturer and their copies seem to be marginal at best. buyer beware.

i saw the magnaflow titanium exhaust in one of my magazines the other day too, and i'm curious about it's performance and sound as well.

I choose ASSHOLERY!!!

That Magnaflow is probably going to be ridiculously overpriced.
Corporate bandwagon hoppers trying to make a fast buck... :down:

NEO oil... who knows. I doubt it's any better than the synthetics we have here, but if it's on sale grab some and try it out.

GTP = gahbage. Come on now...
450 dollars could get you some really, really nice sideskirts from a quality brand that will line up right the first time. And the fact that they even mention the hatch not sitting right just screams "do not buy this crap."

The people at GTP must be laughing their asses off right now, because they can blatantly tell customers that their products don't fit, yet they still buy them! I refuse to believe that McKinney would put all the crap they are (cage, wheels, some kind of crazy motor probably) into a 240 with chasis so tweaked that the hatch doesn't sit right. That's not the fault of the 10 year old chasis like they try to say, it's just their whack product.
Don't encourage them by giving them more business.. :axe:

GTP/importfan is trashing the 240sx market.

titanium exhausts usually go for a lot. I've seen some for the 350z/g35 coupe go for like 1500-2gs. Really not worth it, to save some weight

for some reason that black fastback just does not look right.

I think it is just the fenders and the angle they took the picture at. Also the fact that its not color matched, but comes really close plays some tricks with the eyes.
