Haha! I don't pile them all up. They're all traded or sold prior to getting a new one. I have a stock one that I swap back to. I honestly think I've probably spent close to $0 on exhausts since the first one. I just stay on the lookout for deals and trades.

Yeah, it wasn't too bad, but I redid it 4 times to try and get rid of all the dust. I used a microfiber cloth and a rocket blower, but there always seemed to be a few small particles. I was using a flashlight to spot the dust, but there always seemed to be a few. I felt like I needed a clean room to do it. Maybe just a humidifier or something would have helped.

I suppose I could have tried canned air. I usually avoid that and stick to the Rocket blower for my photography stuff, so I didn't even think of it. But after 4 tries it's pretty much perfect. I did notice a slight "defect" in the lamination of the screen (bottom left corner of the last photo), but I suppose that's what you get with a cheap Chinese knock off.

Ahh, yeah. Our shop buys real replacements. it's better to have a satisfied customer that's not going to need to come back because the knock off eBay part stopped working -__-

I used some 2mm wide, double sided tape to hold the screen on and it's not sealing the whole way around. I can already see dust get back in. I just ordered some pre-cut adhesive and I'll have to redo it once it arrives. I didn't realize you could buy the pre-cut stuff, most of the things I read just said to use the tape. A good screen would probably come with the adhesive already attached.

I'll try not to let it go more than a week or two without doing anything...
Ah, well I must have just bought a crappy screen then. The thin tape I bought was 3M, but it was hard to work with simply due to the small size. The lack of a good seal was purely due to my installation not getting full coverage on the tape. I ordered that adhesive in the eBay link, so hopefully it's not crap. |

Don't they both have the same turbo?

This is correct. They are very similar turbo's. The difference is a 68mm compressor vs a 71mm compressor.

Hah... I have 4 exhausts sitting in my garage right now, if you count the one on the car. You looked into the Fujitsubo catback exhaust?

Stock is too quiet, Nameless and Q300 are too loud on the highway, SPT is going on tonight. Have to cut the Fuji to ship it reasonably, so that sucks. I'm going to weld flanges on to make it easier to trade. |

In my opinion, its hard to beat the whine of helical/straight cut gears
