[Mk2] [Turbo] japsspeed or nur bur spec exhaust?

Post by f355mr2 »

yo im stuck whether to get a japspeed twin exhaust or a nur bur spec odd look exhaust .

can someone tell me what horsepower gains i will receive over the two cos this could swing the decision.

i say the odd look cos the way the nur bur seems to go back on its self then on the end it bends again facing outward , will all these bends have an impact on the performance of the nurbur. thanks

p.s i have a rev 3 94 turbo gts total stock standard mph clocks but NOT delimited.

The Blitz Nur Spec is well known to deliver good performance gains. It's one of the best made options out there and one of the loudest too.

I personally wouldn't buy the Japspeed, if your looking for twin exit, I'd recommend the Burk Technology.... Very nicely made, sounds good and I hear it flows well.

buddy club spec II :eye:

Sod the MASSIVE twin exits. ewwww.

And as nice as the blitz looks, bit overkill! you just want a straight pipe pretty much, lighter, and best gains.
I'm now running a spec II, was running a single exit similar style rs*r and it gained me 14bhp WITHOUT decat.

no i have to disagree with you there about the berk technology one being better than the japspeed.
i had a japspeed on my n/a and it was bloody loud as hell and looked beutiful as well everythin i hoped it to be.
im personally swinging towards the japspeed one cos 1 the price differance 2 i already know what japspeed are like they are excellent 3 i still cant quite make my self like the look of the blitz although i absolutly love the sound of it its amazin but the japspeed is the same and its got a twin look and imo the best twin look. thanks

Japspeed / Motoria is probably near enough the same loudness as the Nur Spec. I have one and its loud as hell. Also its 3" all the way so free flowing and you can hear the turbo nicely through it. Also for the price they last a long time, mines almost 3 years old by now and its still as good as new

I've got a Berk on my car, looks good and is really quiet compared to the Apexi Gt I had on previously. Not as good quality as the Apexi but it is a lot cheaper to buy.

Japspeed is technically just a rebadged Motoria

This is the one you want -

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-MR2-TURBO- ... 0545049540

This is the better one as it has a Revised Y Pipe (Notice how it has an extra weld compaired to the Japspeed on the Y section - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-MR2-SW20-T ... 0486217992) oh and its Cheaper :)

£200 posted you cant complain realy, people at work say it looks like an £800 exhaust system :thumleft:

No offense but I think I'll stick with the Nur Spec. I believe you get what you pay for.....buy cheap buy twice and all that. But if on a budget maybe it's the answer.

yeah i hear you but that nur spec isnt worth 650 thats for sure the japspeed / motoria are worth 2 to 300 quid. if the nur spec was the same price i would be really torn cos the nur sound is like WOW but sayin that so is the japspeed, anyhow really apprieciate your imput thanks

nahh not always, Usually your just paying for the brand name (Blitz, HKS, PP etc etc They might even be made in the same factory as the Motoria :lol: ) Personally I dont think the Nur is worth anywhere near £650 and I have saw plenty of Nurs that have blown flexis that arent even as old as my Motoria. My Motoria has been on my car 3 years now and I bought it used off a member on here, Flexi still looks new along with the whole exhaust System, no problems at all with it and at £200 if something does go wrong its not big money, Nur Spec breaks and thats £650 for a new one. :thumleft:

Regardless of the brand, a cracked exhaust is a cracked exhaust. A flexi section is a flexi section etc. Point being, if an exhaust breaks as you put it, it's a simple case of welding it up, or replacing the flexi, the cost of which will be the same regardless of brand. If an exhaust breaks, who buys a whole new item?! So your statement of having to buy a new £650 system doesn't hold water!

My other thought would be, horses for courses I guess. I don't really know of any big build/power cars running a Japspeed exhaust. But many many big build cars run the Nur Spec and other well known premium brands.

Please bare in mind that I've been out of the scene for the last couple of yrs, so I except more people may be using cheap exhausts now.... But somehow I doubt the big power guys are?!

i run an XS power on mine quality is excellent very loud tho, had a dep 2 & the quality of that i think is poor £800 for an exhaust that is mostly mild steel :-: the nur spec is quality but also loud & i think it makes the rear of the MR2 look wrong got to have twin exit exhaust on a mr2 :thumleft:

+1 Vote for the Japspeed. had 3 Nur Specs and 1 Japspeed.

Nur Specs are quality, but prefer twin exits and the Japspeed at £200 is a top buy! Sounds great and fully stainless steel. :thumleft:

you mention the big power mr2,s are runnin nur spec its prob because the people who have the power cars have the money to buy the top brands like blitz which are over expensive. defo am not sayin it doesnt do as a good job as the motoria style one but you have to weigh the price over performance .


like if the nurspec was to give a 15 horsepower increase over a japspeed or motoria then that would prob justify the price. but i dont think 650 justifys the performance. it only justifys the over expensive blitz brand.

I think you'll find they run them because they have a proven history of producing the goods. They can flow very at very high power levels. I'm not saying that like for like on a 300 bhp MR2 that their would be a huge difference in BHP between most halfway decent to high end systems. But when pushing the envelope the Nur Spec has a history of success, which is why people lean towards them and other top brands.

Like you say, if looking for a decent, budget option, and looks and noise are your thing, then the budget option is the obvious choice.

Personally, and I think others looking for maximum flow will follow a well trodden path when it comes to tuning. If someone out there has tested a £200 exhaust and found them to be as capable as these so called over priced systems, great. But until then it's like saying a Super car is over priced because you already have a Fiesta and that gets you from A to B and it only set me back £400.

An extreme example of my point but like said, horses for courses. I haven't spent countless thousands on my car only to buy budget options which to my knowledge haven't been tested for my needs. I mean come on, a decent down pipe costs the best part of £200, and theres hardly anything to one.

Not trying to bash anyone here guys. Buying cheap has just never been my thing...... unless I know it to be as good...... looks and noise have never really been my thing ;)

yeah mike i think thats a good point or points. it all bears down to personal preferance like what noise and what looks and what performance your after and also what you can afford.
