Default blitz difficult to find now...

after having my SC for about a year now, the mod bug had always lingered, but it has shown up in full force recently. i am currently trying to find the blitz exhaust for it, but no one seems to carry it anymore. does anyone know where to find it these days?

current plans are:

Vossen 20x9/20x11
tanabe NF210 springs
Injen intake
(some sort of exhaust when i find one)
wald or JP kit
small bits of jdm accessories for the interior

im most likely going to stretch some falken fk452's over those wheels. im thinking 245/30 and 285/30 , that should lower the profile just enough not to rub. any opinions would be welcome.

That sounds like a great mod list, good luck. From what I have been told the exhaust was discontinued so you have to be lucky enough to find someone with one left over in stock.

The reason they stop making it is because they came out with a new design called the DT for Double Tube. Just wait a little until Blitz gets them in there warehouse. If you want to wait by then ill sell you a my older exhaust

Do you have any more information on this DT exhaust? When is it supposed to be released?

From there site


"The BLITZ® NÜR - Spec DT Series is a full stainless steel exhaust system that was created with a different driver in mind. This line of exhaust systems has a much quieter tone as compared with the racing series. It’s made for those long drives in the country or for those who want an increase in power without a dramatic increase in exhaust sound. The unique part of the DT is the tip. It is a dual tube type tip that puts a spin on the conventional rolled exit tip."

im gonna go with the JP kit. i just dont like the wald front lip enough. i just think the jp kit's lines flow a little better with the car.

the other question i have now is, on a 9/11 f/r width, how would 245/30 and 285/30 look? i mean, would the stretch on both tires be even, and what are the issues with rubbing since im dropping the car on NF210's.

245 on 9 & 285 on 11 should look normal, not stretched. imho
I would go with either 245/30 & 285/25 or 245/35 & 285/30 to make the overall diameter even.

BTW, there is a set of Blitz exhaust for sale.

the question should be more about the wheel width and offset
