well to start things off, ive searched this already and havn’t found a whole lot of info.
i’m interested in getting a dual tip exhaust on my NA s14 to keep the stockish look and since it looks so sexy
ive been interested in the Trust DD and Dart Izumi style exhaust even tho its crazy loud. but i’ve been searching a bit and i cant seem to find any other exhausts that look like the Trust DD or Dart Izumi. if anyone knows of some please put me towards that direction! if they came with silencers that would be a huge bonus but noise is not a HUGE issue.
and if i’m correct, i believe the Trust DD exhausts have been disconntinued in 04.
and i know i can make a custom one, but i don’t know any reliable and good enough shops that can fab one up for me here in canada. if i did, i may have taken this route already.
Go down to Noyzboys in Scarbourough and have them whip you up a custom job. Talk to Sav or Mike. For basically the same price as a pre-built exhaust you get a full stainless custom fit cat-back. These guys do some pretty crazy custom work and can whip up anything you desire.
I love my exhaust and it’s sounds great on my mostly stock-ish KA without attracting to much attention.
i got mine dual tip exhuast done at noyzboys just like the one that cgguy has with a 3" piping and mandrel bent for about 800 with tax!.. yeah it’s expensive but the quality was excellent! The welding doesn’t even look like it was custom! go ask lucidsnow…he sat in my car.
I paid about 700 if I remember correctly (2.5" piping). I also had them throw on a Magnaflow resonator to keep it quiet.
I’m sorry to hear about ED’s bad experience but I can only say that they’ve done great work for me. I was even a picky bastard and had them re-hang it with additional hangers which they happily did at no extra cost.
if tehy make dual tips, can they also add silencers? and how did you know which resonator helped teh pitch of teh sound? how about the muffler too?
my muffler fell off my magnaflow and it sounds so deep and mean. so just wondering how you know which muffler would sound and etc?im looking for a nice low growl that sounds nice and mean…but also have teh silencers for street.
700-800$ sounds like a good price. what type of metal is used? i hope not some cheap metal that would rust easy during canadian winters.
what’s the point of paying 700-800 bucks for a custom exhaust when you can get a proper cat-back exhaust from RSR, Blitz, apex’i etc. for about the same amount?
(ignoring the fact that you want a dual tip one)
Do you actually get anything out of custom built exhaust?
You get perfect fittment for one. You also get stainless steel (unless you dont want to) so you wont have to replace a rusted hunk of metal in 2 years.
A high quality FULL stainless pre-manufactured cat-back is going to cost you more than 700bucks. Most of the ones selling for less than that are treated mild steel. The Apexi’s and RSR’s usually have stainless cans but the piping is all “treated” steel.
the RSR exmag is all made out SUS409 stainless steel that’s coated jet-black…
and the Blitz Realize TT exhaust is all made out of SUS304 stainless steel…
both can be had for around 750 bucks…
actually, most of the cat-backs for our cars are made out of SS and cost roughly the same (+/- 50 bucks). Granted, there are exhausts that cost 800-1100USD, but most of them are around 450-500USD.
I played around with the leftover chrome tips i used for my setup for a fake dual exhaust…our quad tip :? Mufflers a 3" inlet dual 2.5" out with 3" rolled edge tips and its a high flow 3 chamber(magnaflow XL series) muffler with no sound absoarbing insulation which gives it a very diffrent tonne than most mufflers. On my custom 3" catback it sounded awesome but far far far too loud on my N/A. Highley rec this muffler if you go with custom piping…it does create backpressure…may not be too suitable for a turbo’d car…ask around…
