Factory exhaust system has completely rusted through so i didn't have much choice but to get an aftermarket one. Was lil tight on cash so HKS was out of the qustion and noticed this on ebay. I saw owners with Megan exhaust complaining that tip was too long and stuck out way too far. This one is completely different. Has a very good size resonator and muffler tip is significantly shorter.

cost me only 320 with shipping so pretty nice deal considering they raised their prices

Fitment is outstanding! Everything bolted right up and every single hanger ligned up, and sweetest thing is it comes out at an angle like the HKS exhaust . Sounds damn good too, lil loud but good. Silencer is pretty effective too so ill be using that on long trips. I know pics suck but it will give you an idea till tomorrow .... i just couldnt wait.

s14 megan catback always looks like that. careful that the resonator dosent rub on your driveshaft. also if you ever get an aftermarket bumper it will look like ass since the exhaust is hella sunken.

It has a much longer tip.

*edit* I wasn't trying to plug the other version. I was just saying that not all s14 exhausts come out at an angle.

and it looks aweful, don't plug that in this guys post please. chmercer's right. on aero, the slant style catback you bought will be sunken in. not like se's on s14 sunken. we're talking like titanic at the bottom of the ocean sunken. but seriously, on oem body, its pretty clean bro. good purchase.

I have the exact same exhaust. Does yours hit the heat shield of the gas tank? Mine does, I'm not happy at all to the fitment. After the the cat-back, the exhaust starts to fall closer to the ground and still hits my heat shield. Also it's too sunken even into the oem bumber imo.

Quality is very very good, it's just the fitment and sunken appearance I don't like.
