the exhaust started out as a megan racing, had to chop it up because it was hitting on the driveshaft, so i have an sr downpipe going into 3" pipe, half megan, then switch over to 3" mild, hollow cat thing, more 3", dented megaflow straight through muffler, shitty birdshit weld Y section into 2 3" slash cut chrome truck tips, staggered the wrong way. the areas around the muffler and the Y section are rusting since it was meineke special. also its angled too much and hits on my bumper, so i have a ratchet strap pulling it over towards the tow hook.

cliffsnotes - its fucking ghetto.

i want to get a new exhaust, but i dont really feel like buying a whole new one when what i have is basically fine except for the screwed up rear section. so i think ill just get a muffler put on. but the question is - what muffler?

i like this look

the brushed metal bit, but all the "titanium" stuff on ebay is mostly bs stainless muffler with blue burnt tip. looks pretty crappy.

i also kindof like this, more of an old school look

but im not sure how that would look on my car since its MEGA DORIFTOUOUSDDz jdmOMG style.

any thoughts guys? would appriciate it. this is one of the few things on which i cant make up my mind.

Damn dude, that paint has more flakes then a Kellogg's Factory!

Good luck with your exhaust search. I'd suggest designing a better looking custom set-up. That's the easiest way to get exactly what you want.

BLAH that HKS thing looks nasty............ BLAH BLAH vomit........daymn dude ur rainbow flakes really does stand out.... any how... im not a big fan of the JDM THEORY........ prefer DIY Style with some uniqueness.... anyways this is what i was planning... just getting a scca race muffler and have a shop weld it in 3" of course... with a resonator... and some high flow cats for kicks... run muffler tips that fits flushed or looks crazy good.... only reason why i would go custom is because i can tell the shop guy what i want and make it sit higher so nothing scrapes when i lower the car to lowrider statis... yah digg?

[chmercer]

yea the flake looks pretty crazy when i have the camera flash on. haha. its not even paint, its contact paper. covered the whole car with it.

on topic.

i get what you guys are saying, yes custom is good etc etc. but im just talking about the visible part out the back of the car. wondering what zilvia thinks would look good on my car. not worried about the piping diameter or resonators or whatever under the car.

do you ever get pulled over for the paint?

[chmercer]

not yet, haha, get pulled over for things like no front plate and bad tags and shit tho.

the first picture has a weird muffler.. i prefer getting the second one. by the way, your paintjob looks nice.

[ohnobigtdawg]

contact paper?? wow sounds very tedious.. you should make another thread on how you did that, with pictures.. you must stand out like a sore thumb man... as for the exhuast.. if your going purely cosmetic..i think the apexi gt spec looks awsome on s14's, the width of the exhuast flows with the width of the s14.. too big for the s13 though cause the car itself is narrower than the s14.. had one myself.. dont like dual exhuast tips too much.. but thats my opinion

n1 canister mufflers are crap......... there such a gimmick i just dont understand it..... but u get my point.... N1 is a POS.....

how about just a oval shaped tip.....? cut at a angle..
