aftermarket exhaust

[peter]

Realy? Ive always considered Kakimoto and Fujitsubo as best.

i recomend the OBX system.. works nice for me.. but if u have money for lower engine pillows buy it to. nice sound to

[ts@n@k@s]

I use the OBX system, nice quality,nice price, nice sound (a bit loud tho...) but shit fitment. But works nice for me too

The Kakimoto looks the job but Ive seen alot of them on Jap imports & they usually are worst for wear

Somehow I was thinking, that exhausts which goes over axle are more suitable for cars with stock height (not lowered) because space between body and axle decrese with lowering

I was thinking about Megan Racing Toyota AE86 Drift-Spec Exhaust for our track car, but now I am confused.

So Im confused.
Which is correct for lowered car? Under or over axle?

Exactly! Thats the truth! If you mount an underdiff exhaust under a stock height car you will get problems when you jack up your car and indeed if you lower youre car alot you will not have enough room voor an overdiff.

It's easy to get confused with these cars with "live" rear axles. But think of it like this; you get to choose which of 3 places to bang your exhaust!

Either
1) squeeze your over-axle exhaust between the chassis and axle in every bump if your car is seriously lowered, or
2) have the axle hit your under-axle exhaust from above every time the load is off the suspension, for instance jacking the car up, or
3) have your under-axle exhaust so low that it scrapes the ground on every road surface other than a racetrack

This is my car with coilovers and hks hi-power (over axle) don´t hit anything, but it was hard to fit (length issues)

OK so it seems clear as for layout.
But do I have to also consider future engine mods, like high profile cams, ITbs... ?
