Thread: B14 Aftermarket exhaust kit system choices (direct bolt-on)

Has anybody had experience with this xtune system or do we just assume it's shit because it's super cheap and from eBay?

95 96 97 98 NISSAN 200SX SENTRA JDM CATBACK EXHAUST: eBay Motors (item 370418040847 end time Aug-18-10 14:00:34 PDT)

I have the X Tune header on my list so I can only assume that this would be OK. I do not know anyone with personal experience with it. Go ahead and guinea pig it for us, I am sure the community would appreciate it. It looks good to me.

1) I see that you included how big of a resonator will fit under the B14. Is there a specific maximum size on the muffler for a B14?

2) I see you have included 02 sensors in your write-up. Do you recommend replacing the O2 sensors (cheap insurance) when doing the exhaust? Or is it dependent upon the condition of the existing O2 sensors?

3) Megan Racing checking in with their offering....

Yeah, I am still re-searching and reading. Cross referencing your most-excellent thread with B13 applications. Damn, I want to spend some money. LOL.

I *think* I want a Vibrant muffler on my (B13) system. Eggman swears by them as being much quieter than the corresponding Magnaflow.

This one right here:

It looks like a killer stealth option. Not that I doubt Eggman, but any other opinions on Vibrant are welcome.

Reading and researching is the best you can do.

The megan cat-back will be updated to the list, thank you.

I was very close to getting a Vibrant muffler as well, but just wanted to try the Oval magnaflow out since I had a round body one previously. I have no doubt that the Vibrant is quieter. They also make resonators that I am sure would quiet the system down. If that is the case, you can order a pre-made system with no resonator and some crappy muffler, or ask for no muffler and save money there.

Then used the saved money to buy whatever resonator and muffler you want to buy. Just make sure that you buy flanges that are to be welded on separately or ask for flanges from Vibrant to be welded in place before they ship to you.

Like eggman said, I am positive that the vibrant would be quieter than the magnaflow.

VRS 3" Magnaflow

that header is insane. you have a sound clip?

THATS F'ING HOT, wished mine looked like that

Three new videos added to the first post.

I have no more exhaust leaks. Hooray. Fuck those crappy paper gaskets they gave me. Get nissan OEM ones for $7.

awesome thread.. helps out tons when researching options for an exhaust system.. great job putting it together

Updated links and list. Removed Overkill since they suck and I think they claimed they used Mandrel Exhaust Systems anyway and that was on the list also so moot point and they suck. Replaced with classic Stromung 2.25" SS system from Greg Vogel @ Gspec.com (free shipping also!). Updated links that needed so, eBay for Greddy SP2, Megan Racing exhaust somehow linked to a 240SX sway bar (WTF?)
