Have you heard the Ganador Ti in person? If not then I dont think you can comment on how loud it is. This exhaust can not be compared to other exhausts on the market.

This exhaust is fairly quiet with a resonated MP. It certainly gets louder with a straight pipe but it is not nearly as bad as many other catbacks. Plus it does not drone even with a straight pipe. I am currently running this exhaust with a single turbo and no resonated MP (4"DP, 3" MP to the catback). I have run every combination of this catback.

You can not go wrong with a Resonated MP but you certainly can use it with a straight pipe, especially with twins.

This is spot on...mostly due to the oval canister that helps resonate sound unlike the coffee cans that are typically associated with an obnoxiously loud note.

I have an RSR ex mag, which has an oval style muffler, exhaust on my S13 w/ built SR. When I went from resonated midpipe to non-resonated it made a very noticeable difference.

I preferred it with the resonated. It definitely changes the sound, but I guess I can't speak for rotaries yet.

Don't think I've post this before but I know Phil has one too...so, two in AL

I've had this cluster for about a year now..

RE 30th Anniversary Cluster

Little dusty right after I pulled it out of the shipping box. Otherwise a very nice clean piece




All lit up...Column pod covering the 9, was testing the lighting.

Those pointers seem to match Speedhut's pointer perfectly too, that is if you go with Speedhut for your other gauges.

I went with prosports for the other gauges but I seem to remember Speedhut making a very similar looking set. Maybe if at some point I get tired of the prosports I'll look into Speedhut.

Do I qualify?

I have a Re-Amemiya cluster that I haven't really seen before in this configuration. It has the sexy style 6 o'clock tach and the odometer is kph instead of the usual mph like in most pictures I came across. I've seen the re cluster that redlines at 10k in red font pop up a few times on the forum but never one using the "99 spec" font and layout. Photo unknowingly courtesy Circuit Theory. (<--- Great seller!)

What is that pineapple thing? Is it a jig or a spacer?

It is a flow balancer for the FD Lower intake manifold. You use this in conjunction with dual EGT's to properly balance the flow, thus giving you a more accurate A/F ratio.

How many engines have you seen with major carbon in one rotor versus the other? This is designed to cure that.

There were only 5 made.

I had someone that was pretty interested in buying it, but they seemed to have disappeared. I like it just for the rarity and conversation piece.

I don't think these aren't just quite rare status yet, but in a couple years time I think they will be.

Have you guys ever seen this hood before? I wasn't aware of Veilside making one, and I swear I've seen this design elsewhere.
