Picking an Exhaust

[Dustin_S]

I'm looking to upgrade/replace my "exhaust" (the remaining two feet of downpipe sticking out of my engine that hasn't rusted off yet) but I'm not quite which model I want yet.

A lot of people have suggested the Apexi N1, but I want something a little different than all those three or four inch single-tip exhaust systems out there. I want an exhaust with four or two exhaust tips (four would be preferred) Think like the 3000GT VR-4 or Stealth RT-T.
if you've never seen those car's asses before, check out attached drawing.



Does the N1 come in that configuration, and if not, which brands do?

I am looking for Horsepower gain, but I won't be dissapointed (nor do I expect) to break triple digit gains. As far as sound goes, I'd like to be able to hear my radio again

Edit/Addition- I have the KA24DE engine, and i might be turboing it later on.

buy 2 mufflers (flowmaster for that deep sound)

then go to a muffler shop and have them make those pipes for you its EASY! and CHEAPER!

So are you saying that it would be cheaper to buy two mufflers and have a shop custom fit piping than buying a catback system (the apexi N1 dual for example)? If so, would they be able to provide the same piping diameter and performance?

Does anyone have exact specs on the N1 dual piping (diameters/lengths)?
Also, when I looked on ebay there were numerous Apexi N1 "style" ripoffs. Are any of those comparable in quality?

i got a apex-i n1 look alike 5" tip 6" canister and 2 1/2' inlet.. i went 2'25" cat back b/c my car isnt wrked and i want some back pressure and also i wana pass emmisions..

Two flows or a single inlet dual outlet muffler and some tubing would be a lot cheaper than an N1 and hella cheaper than a dual N1.

N1 75-85mm tubing 90-115mm canister
N1 dual two 60.5mm tubes two 90mm canisters.

so, would it be possible to get the Apexi N1 or similar exhaust pipes, and then switch out the muffler/cannister/exhaust tip?
I absolutely cannot stand big-ass tips. There are about twenty cars that lug those things around, and every single one of them is a cavalier/neon/pre-92 Maxima/etc...so I want something different. performance or no, 4 and 5 inch tips are absolutely ugly to me.

Honest opinion, CUSTOM. Much cheaper, and just as effective, if not more. You tell them what you want, how straight you want it, and what car you have and they make it CUSTOM for you're car. And throw whatever the hell mufflers on you want.

[Dustin_S]

I hadn't really considered that seriously. we do have a custom exhaust shop in town (impressive for a town that got a walmart only in the last 5 years)

[BuddhistWitch]

Hah, wow, hick country... But anyways, yeah, run down there and get an estimate. Tell them what you want and how much they'll charge. Easy as gettin in you're car and driving there. And if you're like any of us other 240 owners, driving you're car is like heaven.

[vsiev]

I am just sure, but I thought making your own pipes wasn't street legal compared to buying the name brand ones, correct me if i am wrong cause i don't know that much about exhaust.

[Chuki_breath]

so let me get this straight....u want the dual exhaust look on your 240??? if so why?

[Dustin_S]

I want the dual/quad tip exhaust on my car because i like it. any more questions?

[SR20DETpower]

quad tips are so ricer-ish, is that the image u want your car to portray?


I know we do things cause we like it, but we also do things cause others opinions affect our actions, we are only human after all. everyone will either say thats cool as they drive by in their Sunfire, or thats gay as shit when they drive by in their Skyline, which group are you going for?

i saw a Saturn with 4 exhaust tips and it looked VERY, V E R Y G A Y.
