I've had a Japspeed for ages, no problems.
I clean mine too

Re: Standard exhaust and Downpipe vs Aftermarket parts
I can only echo what others have said, Japspeed stuff is really poor quality in both fit and materials, if it's not too late I'd cancel the order and buy a berk DP and a used HKS/Blitz etc exhaust.

Re: Standard exhaust and Downpipe vs Aftermarket parts
Just my opinion on the japspeed stuff, used to buy a few bits from there, you get what you pay for at the end of the day people dont buy japspeed because its good they buy it as it just about gets the job done on a budget,
I had an exhaust for an rev 3 n/a a few years ago wasnt an amazing fit but it did go on tails wernt even tho
A mate of mine bought an intercooler for his s14 took it to santa pod and the clips all snapped leaving a long drive home with a massive leak.
I have a full berk system on my rev 3 tub and its spot on

The japspeed i had.. was rusty.. yes stainless that rusts.
Wouldn't buy one again.
There are varying grades of stainless steel and the cheaper grades will rust but they can still call it stainless steel.

yeah it'll be 304. Same stuff powerflow and lots of other custom made exhaust makers use.
the japspeed I had on mine when I bought it fit ok and didnt rust but it was too loud once decatted.

Mechanical Boost Gauge
So I've just bought a mechanical boost gauge. I know where to install the gauge for the pressure, however I need to find a good power source for the backlight and how to do it.
Could I have some clear help from you guys?

Re: Standard exhaust and Downpipe vs Aftermarket parts
Whats the top exhaust on your pic of the three together Red?
I have one of these sitting in the garage, and had same prob you were saying about the japspeed.
Tried to fit it a while back and gave up as to me it seemed to not clear the subframe and also near the flexi seemed far to close to oil sump.
Think mid mount was also in a moody position.
Thinking of trying to fit it again, and try making a few alterations with a persuasion device.

Re: Standard exhaust and Downpipe vs Aftermarket parts
Oooh I've got a mongoose!
Wonder why its so close to the subframe and sump? and whether i should worry about it fouling if i fit it.
Dont want to fit it and then have it rattling away whilst driving.
Anyone else had one of these and had to mod it so it had more clearance?
