At this point, I think that we can all agree that the GT-R is the golden child that aftermarket companies have been dreaming of. There is no shortage of parts in the pipeline for this beast. Apex has thrown their hat into the ring with a new exhaust for Nissan’s R35 GT-R. Apex has changed the exhaust’s grouping in order to gain more power, rather than following the OEM 1 to 2 to 4 design they have done a 1 to 4 in order to reduce exhaust gas turbulence.
The main portion of the exhaust is done in SUS304 steel, and the rear is full titanium. This should allow for a reasonable price while weighing in much lighter than the stock unit.
