Hey guys well i bord at work so i wanted to share alil . I should be picking up a set of Ground Controll coils, A'PEXi n1 duel entire catback, Im not sure what shocks to get still. Im stuck between KYB AGX gas shocks V's Tokico Blue's. The Blues are great shocks only i dont get much play... well any at all with adjustability. Whiles the KYB's i do. but ill have to do some mods to the the KYB's shocks to make them fit with the GC's... arggg:banghead:

Well more info later gota do some work!!:boink:

sounds good man, let us know how everything turns out and how difficult the installs are if your doing them yourself

post pics :icesangel

Ya im doing it my self and my buddy. He just put up his A'PEXi GT-spec exhaust last week end. So mine this week end hopefully!! pix of everything too!! got my digi cam ready!!

Exhaust install shouldnt be too hard.All the piping runs under everything.Well maybe rusted/frozen bolts could be a bitch though..

WHOO HOO!! i installed my A'PEXi N1 Duels on saturday and it was fun. Eazy too, Dayna mine fit snug and perfect enough room for everything to move around alil but not bang into anything its a solid exhause. I heard some ppl complaning about the welding breaking off but there car is mostlikly droped to the floor!! dumarsses!! :thefinger its a solid product.

...but you guys told me it dosent get loud till after 3krpm's!!!! first gear and second gear is loudest. How about yours Dayna?? also is the grounding important??i couldnt realy put the ground on tight as the new piping is like twice as thick. did you attached that grounding strap?? anyone else know what im talking about?? but it is a KICK ass exhause!! My friend also install ed his GP sports on and now that is one fwking BIG tip!!! :bloated: :bloated: :biggrin:

I welded the grounding strap to the pipe because it was easier than modifying the parts. I notice a big increase in power and sound right at 3400 rpm.

Good job with the upgrades man! If only i had the money to get some! Skool sure does take up alot of ur money! I hate buying books. And I was checkin Daynas cars! RX-7 crazy huh! I wish i had one of those too!

:thefinger :thefinger :thefinger

you beat me to it. mine's coming tomorrow. damn company with slow shipping...........

mine's dropped but i dont think i'll have a problem because my tires are about 1" taller and thicker than stock tires. the problem will come in winter when i have to put the stock ones back on :frown: maybe i'll get some very nice very thick stock tires so i dont scrape it. hmm i dunno maybe it will be fine... i only have a 2" drop, not 3.5" like some ghetto fab 240s.

humm thats a good ideal, is the grounding strap important i dont see the importance of it sence everything is bolted togetter isnt that enough groundage:bloated: I'm gona have to borrow my dad's welder, you think if i just solder it togetter would that work hahahah let me know what ya think. I felt the lost in low end, mid was smother but high end thats where i felt the extra power. 4k and up!!!

mynismo haha beat you to it. My friend's got a shop so he had it in stock got the entire catback for $500. How much did you get it for Dayna?? ohh also if anyone needs parts i can get a good deal for you just let me know the part and ill see what i can do!!:bigthumb:

ill post pix tonight my sis went to Los Vegas and took the CAMERA!! she should be back today. Ill post when i get home

The grounding strap is pretty important... A company like Nissan wouldnt waste their money if they didnt think it was needed?

I got my ehaust for $469 and the header for like $329... I got it from enjukuracing.com but right after I bought it, they raised their price. :tongue:

DANG!!!! $469!!! OMG!!! i should of asked first. i knew he wanted to make some money off it. ohh well its still a nice system. ya im getting all this weird things happonding to my car, my parking lights dont work now and my alarm took a shit. Not sure if the grounding had anything to do with it. i think im gona have to fix the ground tomorrow morning ASAP.

Mark how much did you get your TOkico Blues again?? i got a quot for like $40 bux for one so thats what $160 for the set. :bloated:

my exhaust was $499 just now but they charged me $30 more for shipping and it came out to $570. and it's taking them a week and a half to get to me... people never order from advanced imports! just a bunch of hicks in southern oh. and they raised the price right after i ordered too.

my tokicos were like $320/shippd. your getting a real good deal dude! i'll let you know if i need any parts in the future, but i highly doubt it, the exhaust is going on tomorrow early in the morning then i'm hoping nothing goes wrong with anything. im just gonna keep up maintenance until i sell it. i cant keep popping all this money into it unless im going to keep it for at least another few years. :cool: especially if im saving for an rb26 powered car.

im think sentra se-r more and more, they weigh so light. if not im just gonna save and have someone do the swap on my car.

what is a grounding strap????????????

what's a grounding strap, anyone know?


i got the exhaust today, looks sweet. its going on morrow morning.

Great you got it now put it on!!! Are you doing the install your self if you are then you will know what the strap is, and that strap is the ground strap :bloated: ya but if you need anything just let me know this includes everyone else too :biggrin:

can someone post pics of the exhaust out of the packaging, or the whole underbody of the car with the new exhaust installed.

that would be sweet :D


oh oh oh !! can someone post a sound file of the exhaust too ???

that would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/2490471-009.jpg
how how can we forget Apexi without her lil baby


need any more pics let me know, im a post whore for pics.

im getting her installed cause i dont have a mechanical lift in my garage (DARN>>>)........ and cause i have a few leaks in the current exhaust system around the catalytic convertor, i need that all fixed. its cheaper just to have them do it.

wow... those are nice sets of bubble wrap rolls u got there.. must flow nice, with alot of popping sounds too .....



mind takin those off and showin us some skin

and by skin, i mean metal.

unless ur a woman :bigthumb:

thanx alot though

wait a sec. if those are duals , dont they split into two seperate sections for each side of the vehicle, or are they a dual-pipe , single side system.??

this i've never seen before, unless one of those mid pipes are rotatable and were put the other way just for pakaging.

no, the 240's dont have a dual exhaust that goes to each side of the car. unless you want to custom make one or pay over $1000.... ive never seen one at least.

there is one section single piping that breaks off into two pipes, then on the other section it's all dual pipes going to the tips.

just like in the pics...

Well here are pix of that fun install day!! enjoy!! Mark i got pix of it on the car :biggrin2:

Here in Cali it sprinkles once in a full moon and this happonds pisses me off!!!

that exhaust looks kinda restrictive compared to the GT spec.The piping on it is huge and straight as fawk!For turbo applications only but you guys know that already..

Looks good though.

Lookin at those pics made me realise how much I miss Cali:frown:

shoulda took some pics of some graffiti while you were at it!I know you could see some nice tags while driving on the freeway..:smile:

wow your exhaust from that pic looks a lot different then mine, you have a couple bends in it, mine is straight as anything with the one slow minor bend.

i really really like the exhuast... notice the difference over stock (the pieces of rust). this is a vast improvement. its not as loud as my last one, and that's a good thing.

the last one's not so inviting... coolant is leaking all over the place, radiator's dead. getting an aluminum one.

very nice tone, i may not even need silencers, but ill prolly still get them once i build up the bank account again. this radiator epidema is killing me... i wasn't expecting it. 90dgre weather... i heard aluminum is a lot better anyways, something like it cools down twice as fast.

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/827270bigpixofpipingsmall.jpg

I realy like this shot its actruly 4 shots put togetter. A panaramic pix kewl huh!! But ya now you can see how bad the stock pipeing is on the s14. Im sure your s13 Mark was alot straighter. Wish you took shots of the pipeing for the N1 with out all the bubble wrap!! :biggrin2:

who cares about the reg piping.. i like seeing it on the car! :smile:

you thought you're piping was bad... look at the first pic i posted.

sanchi... are you getting the silencers? i just ordered mine.

it isn't as much loud as it is a very full sound. its very thick, and i think the sound travels pretty good. i also want to regain that low to mid end power... i lost a little, that's for sure. and i want an almost silent exhaust... too many cops in my area.

cops cant pull you over for loud exhaust can they? well they can (experience) but they cant do anything, at least in indiana

yea it's been done around ctown, you guys rock in indiana, it seems anything goes there. no echeck, loud exhausts... gees. its a dream place! :biggrin:

hell yeah, i love Indiana, amish and all

well ctown has

added theirs together, it still wont total what good ol chi-town has

well... my thanx goes to everyone who posted pics of the exhausts they have and dont have (i dunno who owns what, i just look at the sexy metal)




was a good piece of eyecandy.. except seeing the N1 in all its bubble wrappy g00dness :tongue:


anyways.. if someone can record sounds of their exhaust and try to get the best tone recorded, so that it doesnt do injustice to the exhaust sound , that would be way c00L. :bigthumb:

we could start an exhaust sound thread!!! :dogpile:
this would help everyone choose their exhausts

anyways.. thanx again.
