Which Exhaust to chose?

I've been looking on www.nengun.com
I cant decide which exhaust to go for:

Blitz Nur Spec R exhaust £374 2pcs
Greddy/Trust Power Extreme 2 muffler £384 2pcs
Greddy/Trust Titan composite muffler £453 2pcs
Greddy/Trust TR Power Evolution 2 muffler £487
HKS High Power exhaust (silent) £379

All these prices include p&p direct from Japan
Has anyone got any views on a bargain here, quality , sound, HP gains etc...
Or does anyone know of other exhausts that are better at comparable prices?

I have the HKS Silent Power and its gorgeous and sounds fantastic. Got good gains from it as well. Remember that the chances of you getting an exhaust through Customs without getting stung for Duty and Vat are remote. I'd add £100 to those prices.

Cheers

Same here, fairly quiet off boost and pootling around, hit boost and it transforms into a lovely deep roar.


The Nur specs sound great but if you do a lot of motorway driving the will soon become tiresome

Seems like everyone agrees on this one.
What do you think of the price?
Can it be bought over here or is going to be through www.nengun.com?
When you say de-cat is it cheap to do?
Is the complete system stainless steal as this is a must in England?

I think i have decided to go for : Blitz Nur Spec r exhaust
Apexi power intake kit

Through www.nengun.com The total price including p&p £427

I was thinking about customs sticking on duty, what if i got nengun to put on the customs declaration that the parts are warrenty replacements, does anyone think that would make a differance?
If not, what would the duty be to give me an idea of total price?

Does anyone have a sound file of a Skyline (hopefully R34 GTR) with the Blitz Nur Spec R?

you can avoid customs duty by asking the nice people at nengun, to send item as used, or as a present or a sample, used is best but its fairly easy to tell if it is or not

Its certainly a good price for the pair. It makes no difference if its labelled as a gift or used or sample. Its down to item price. Uk customs adds the Value of the item to the value of the postage (which will be quite high) and then stings you. Nengun might be able to reduce the value of the item/s to help reduce your Duty but bearing in mind this is illegal they may not and this also affects insurance of the item/s.

Let us know if you order it what the total comes too.
