The shape of the tip, looks like Ganador.

^ I was going to say that, but there's no GD logo on the tip, maybe a copy?

curacaosfinest 03-08-12 06:08 AM

has anyone heard of any people making GD copies??

RENESISFD 03-08-12 06:27 AM

Tip looks like Ganador but the construction is very different.

BTW, How do you know you got a good deal on an exhaust if you dont know what it is?

Given the fact it is an oval muffler without jasma certification means it is more than likely a knockoff or a one off.

Isn't that the old greddy sp??

cus it was so good of a deal that even if its one-off or a no-name or anything like that, its still a good deal loll

curacaosfinest 03-08-12 07:49 AM

so no-one has ever seen this exhaust before??

DaleClark 03-08-12 08:10 AM

You got me stumped, and I know my exhausts!

It does look a lot like an all-stainless Ganador. But, I think all their exhausts have their "GD" logo embossed on the tip.

It's NOT a Greddy SP, that's for sure - I've owned all 3 generations of that exhaust :).

A buddy of mine has a very similar exhaust that sounds good and fits well. May be the same thing, but we've never identified it.

As far as Ebay cheapie exhausts, they're pretty much all N1-style can exhausts. It's also not one of the American made exhausts that were around in the late '90s, like ATR, TurboTuf, PFS, etc.

Hopefully someone out there will recognize it! I've found there are quite a few mystery exhausts out there. It's most likely Japanese, there are a TON of different Japanese exhausts and we only really know of the most common ones.

This or one of the RX7.com copies of it.

My car came with this exact exhaust, but I was never able to tell what it was. It was really strange that the tip is so big but is less loud than my rb dual tip. Wanted to sell it but had no idea what to call it lol.

I have the exact same dual tip you sold recently, that looks like an RB dual but no RB logo and the tip looks a little different, have you ever find out what it is?

ok well at least i know that its not the only one in the world lol

what did you think of it when it was on your car?

StreetRage 03-08-12 12:08 PM

heyy.. Someone mentioned having a exhaust that looks just like the RB dual tip but without the logo... I have the same thing. I can post pics if u guys are interested. But i've been wondering for a loong time what it was... haha I've been calling it an RB exhaust, but no logo! lol any info?

DaleClark 03-08-12 04:05 PM

That's probably the one that was referenced earlier in the thread, I had one that I sold. No idea who made it, though.

I heard something that RX7.com made an exhaust, that very well could be it (the one for the original poster with the large single tip).

Funny thing is someone at some point paid good money for that exhaust new, so it seems someone would know what it is!

Dale

curacaosfinest 03-08-12 06:05 PM

can anyone help me out a decent asking price for it?

i'll be polishing it from head to toe too, so please take that into account, it'll look damn near brand new

i was thinking maybe like $300 shipped???

and i'll take video of it on an FD and all too, to show fitment and sound

cptpain 03-08-12 07:04 PM

Apexi WS variant maybe?

Apexi made many versions of their World Sports exhaust

DaleClark 03-08-12 08:12 PM

Apexi almost always labels their exhaust with a tag at the bottom or something.

Yeah, if it's polished up and looking good, $300 shipped is fair. Shipping on a full cat-back like that is usually $80-90 or so.

Dale

curacaosfinest 03-08-12 10:55 PM

ok i think i'll get it all polished up and post in the for sale section for $300 shipped then

With the tip being so big it made insaine fire balls but for just plain looks it was too big and on the ricey side.

Smokey The Talon 03-21-12 02:38 PM

kinda looks like a Tanabe medalion touring with a bigger tip. I'd be interested to see pics and vid of it when you get it on the car. I've been looking for something more tame to replace my HKS hi-power with.
