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!! 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!!!

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.

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 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.

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.

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. 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????????????
