you say that it will crack, but so do others which are from the likes of hks , tomei etc .

ive seen £800 tomei manifold crack on my mates s14!!

i also had a cheapo ebay exhaust on my s14 which i brought second hand and used for over 3 years and that never gave any problem atall.


also you could buy 2 (and a half) exhaust for the price of one berk .. so if a cheapo ebay ones break your still be able to buy another with the cash you saved.

I must admit i do tend to go for quality now a days , but i can see the argument both ways .

I think £200 for a stainless exhaust is value almost regardless of who made it. I spent £600 on a brand new Powerflow for my old 5 Series. Nothing lairy, they custom made a near copy of the standard 2x2" system with two boxes out of stainless. Thank someone for the lifetime warranty is all I can say! Over 18 months it had to go back in three times for re-welding and additional bracing because the exhaust temp and vibration from the mighty M30b35 Big Six kept cracking it to pieces. If I win the lottery I think I'll call Milltek.

I have two pals who have run tuned S14's, one drifter, one road car. I picked up a fair bit about them, they're notorious for manifolds and turbo flanges if seriously tuned.

Some sexual looking welding there! Always wanted to know how to TIG weld. Hopefully C&G will let me start this year :D

What do they sound like anyway? I've found very few decent YouTube videos that weren't filmed on a calculator.
