for some reason i was waiting for a used nismo exhaust to come up on sale so i could save some money and buy it...

but couldnt take it any longer (especially with random sellers never responding to there thread about the exhaust)

sooooo i finally purchased my nismo exhaust! coming on monday. yay

did anyone else get anything new? except for sean's tn kit -_-!

 

Hotchkis TVS kit being delivered today.

 

For whatever it's worth, if you do end up going TN, so far the best exhaust for the kit is stock!!

 

B&M, rims, TP. All new, only used part so far is the Nismo clutch, flywheel, + pressure plate. Will be buying suspension, turbo, brakes all new. If i can find some sways used id buy used on that. Wouldnt mind a used pop charger either.

 

i think the nismo will b fine. seeign that its just a little wider tubing ;D!

 

I'd steer away from the Progress adj. 3 way sway bars if you are planning on going with dual exhaust. I have the stillen true dual SS exhaust and it hits the sway bar in the rear.

 

I have the same set up with no contact? Stillen sways?

 

Bought all this a week ago: Forged pistons, billet rods, calico coated bearings, ARP head and main studs, Cosmetic head gasket.

Then I bought a new body kit!

New manifold, turbo, wg, and rear brakes are next

 

What about spool up time, my TN kit spooled up a lot faster when I got my exhaust on.

 

w00t nismo exhaust on! sounds bad asssssssss

 

CAPTION BELOW FROM TURBO MAGAZINE.COM
"Boost is routed from the passenger side header via a crossover pipe that joins with the driver's side header outlet and feeds the turbine housing. Turbonetics reports that the factory exhaust system made more power than an aftermarket setup, but the company plans to try one or two more exhaust systems."

 

I don't know about the power diff but I do know the turbo spools faster, thats all.
