I'm sorry to hear you had to move. My fiancee has had a shop in Concord for over 16 years. There's been rumors about Concord wanting to "clean up" the entire Monument corridor and close the autoshops.
More likely some big developer wants to be near Bart.

Well I did get to see one finally at the show, the full-chrome, but the guys didn't really sell me on it as far as numbers. It looked very clean though. When it comes to exhaust they can make a small difference in performance but there are so many other variables as you know that need to help it out. I never did get a price so I will see what is up. Thanks.

Was looking at jdm exhausts a month back and found a few.
Fujitsubo elegance
Apexi N1 Evolution
Fujitsubo TI
all for the CPV35

These are the few I believe nobody has in the US.

Well there is quite a few to choose from, the challenge is affordability. In Japan these exhausts don't obviously cost nearly as much but add in all the costs for them to market and ship it to the US and whaa laa, expensive JDM exhausts!

Regardless I have a few favorites I like IMO:
Kenstyle exhaust is a very clean OEM style exhaust setup with nice performance results and a mild change in sound.. sold in Japan dealerships.
Amuse exhaust is just simply gorgeous and has solid performance, very lightweight, yet pricey.
Impul exhaust is a nice fav, nice to look at and very solid performance, same with the Mines, although not much to look at but great results, however modification needed to fit the V35 platform needed.
Apexi and Fujitsubo not too shabby either.

Jeff are any of these true dual and larger than the 2.5", I am looking for a 3" true dual to compliment my TT setup. If you have any ideas let me know and also pricing, I would like to get this done by mid Feb. if possible.

Here is the link to the English website: http://www.mines-wave.com/

The cost of the Mines exhaust is around $2500. Here is a good picture.

I think there are also a few other Mines products listed in our online store in the Z33 application. Thanks.

There is not a lot available above 70mm for JDM exhausts. Most JDM companies research data has kept them around 70mm, about 2.75". I think the only JDM company I can think of above is Impul, I believe they have an 80mm exhaust, or about 3.15". I think IMO you would be fine with any of the 70mm setups. However not a lot available for a dual setup. HKS is one of the few if any and they use 60mm piping to constrict some of the pressure b/c most people don't make too much power more than norm. I know you are making lots of power, but I still think a 70-80mm straight pipe design would work real well. I'll check with some JDM folks and see what they recommend. Thanks.

It is just for the catback. The mid-pipe is an additional $500 and the straight pipes if you want to go that direction another $300. So all together a great performance exhaust but a pretty penny! Let me know if you are interested and I can get all the details for you. Thanks.

? I paid $1000.00 for my Nismo exhaust. Is this something different? It also has Weldina tagged on the unit.
