Greddy / HKS/ apexi exhaust

after long research and asking. i have decided to narrow down to greddy, apexi or hks exhaust systems. i know there are not any greddy, apexi exhaust systems that will fit the 05 1.8L sentra. (except the HKS 2000-2001 sport exhaust catback). so does anyone know if there is a greddy or apexi out there that will fit my car? custom fitting or not?

thanks

the exhausts for the spec will fit with a little modification. apexi and greddy both make one for the 2.5.
i am still very partial to the hks though. it has a special little place in my heart

im having a hard time picking! i like hks but i also like the other brands. but i really want to be safe. i cant go wrong! i have limited money! so any feedback would be appreciated.


heres my list so far.

HKS - good quality. ricey or not?
Tanabe - good or not?
Greddy - of course good but not sure about the price.
Apexi - loud n ricey i heard? especialy on a 1.8 = riceland?

has anyone heard of these systems setup on a 1.8? i really do not want to join riceclub.

i had the hks for about 4 years. looooooooooooooooooooved it. it has a nice low, deep tone. not ricey at all.

if you buy the one for the spec, i believe you have to cut off a few inches of piping. i saw your thread on b15 about it too but i didn't figure i needed to reply to both, lol (shanno575 on there). here's a pic of it on my car

i haven't heard the tanabe i don't think, but it will probably be loud. the greddy is also fairly loud

the greddy evo2 is the one i was thinking of, i can't think of another one made for the spec? maybe there is.
you can always add on another resonator if it's too loud, but that's getting kind of expensive. the hks is also probably the cheapest of all 3. there's still a great price in the vendor section on b15sentra

yes you can get it to fit but will probably have to take it to an exhaust shop.
