Rare?
They seem pretty hard to find
Espelir is more of a Toyota loyal manufacturer, so their Nissan parts are just items that were offered and fell off the map. If Espelir deviates from Toyota, and starts backing Nissan, then their old discontinued parts will become more desired, valuable, but as of right now... its just a discontinued, high quality exhaust from a great comapny. I would want Sam of Pinks veiw of this also...

Although Buddy Club is known for being a Honda loyal brand , BUT they are great about having a descent line-up available for other Makes and are recognized universally, so Yes, This is rare. IIRC these were still available around 2002, and discontinued soon after then. So its been out of production for nearly 10 years and it looks like its in damn good condition.

s13 How rare is a Apexi Hybrid Megaphone exhaust?
I just picked up the full cat-back for $200 from a buddy. He said they stopped making these back in 2000~? and i tried searching couldn't find much info on the exhaust except for a few forum posted dated back in 2009 where shops were selling a handful claiming these were the last few new cat-backs in the united states..

With all that said i was just wondering how rare the setup was?

My friend had got the stainless steel muffler and tip painted flat something a LONG time ago and it looked really rough and chipping, so i spend all weekend sanding it down to the nice fresh stainless steel.. roughed it up a bit and sprayed high temp (1000*) automotive metal paint (flat black) and it looks awesome and sounds even better

I haven't really checked into the ka scene in a long while to see if these are still being thrown around the community.

Oh man! You got something good there! That was one of the best manifolds at the time, and the ONLY bottom mount manifold that was worth a damn. They stopped making that in 2007-2008 or so.

Damn you im envious!!!

P.S. IS that a bottom mount? They had a bottom mount just before they pulled the trigger on the KA. If that's a top mount that must be even more rare.

I just checked Rays site again and it says 2009 so yes, they probably are.
To my knowledge the LM GT1/3 are the most rare.
