Beluga Racing axle back poor fitment

^Man I had to ask lol...if you've been around cars and car people long enough I know you've probably seen some crazy stuff Hahahahah. We knew this guy with an Acura and he made quite a few of his own parts...ugly as crap...but oddly very functional. Whatever works...works 😄

If you have done your research, you would all know this. Quit hanging onto these company's nut sacks because of the NAME! They do advertising, and pay to have their name brand out there, so they must charge 4x as much to recoup money spent on advertising and all the other crap! Ask any muffler fabricator/welder in Taiwan and they will tell you the truth.

I'd like to add... there are just as many people with fitment/quality/weld and sound problems with many other exhausts. The big thing is, people that spend $2,000 on an exhaust, tend not to complain as much as someone that spends $300.

Some of these companies spend more on quality control as well. Sometimes a bad one slips through with ANY brand. FACT!

Exhausts are exhausts are exhausts. You look for material/weld quality/design and sound. Welds break sometimes. Sometimes things sound like **** on one car and not another. Sometimes parts don't fit together correctly! Ever built anything that was made in Taiwan or China...my point exactly!

Here's a clue... don't buy a muffler from ebay ...buy directly from the company that makes them! There are way too many knock off exhausts going around.

Not sure why this forum sounds like a bunch of highschoolers bickering on the playground?

Buy what you want...give your advice on facts only. Opinion doesn't account for ****!

I don't give two squirts of piss about opinions..I work on facts only. I liked the sound of the exhaust and the countless good reviews from all over, not just this site. Price to quality and sound is where it's at, and believe me, I can afford to buy what I want! If mine ***** up and breaks after a year, I'll send it back and get it replaced (1 year warranty) If I blow $269.00 after a year and get something else... I believe I got my money's worth!

Yeah, because we don't have anything to complain about. Ours fit.

And I 've seen plenty high dollar exhausts with fitment issues. It's install error usually on every one.

Inflaymes · 07-19-2018, 03:58 PM

Well, just to show the doubters.. I received this exhaust in pristine condition and the install fit like a glove. Properly aligned on both sides and sounds amazing! The welds looked better than some of the welds on the factory Nismo exhaust (which was stamped Autech).

The only thing I didn't use was the rear hanger, as previous owner had taken off or lost the rubber hanger on the rear driver's side. I removed the actual metal plate just to be sure nothing hit or rubbed on the new exhaust. It is mounted very firmly on both side just using the front hangers.
Here is a before and after video. The thumbs-up and head turning on the street when I took it out for a 2 hour cruise is priceless. Definitely got my 269.00 worth!

Man you sure are passionate about your cheap exhausts.

Inflaymes · 07-19-2018, 04:17 PM

When you know the truth about hype and marketing, you can't argue with spending way less money for the same thing. I'll back Aaron Teng any day.

Installed it myself and it lined up perfectly.

Sucks to hear you had an issue but I bought Beluga Axels backs for my 18 Nismo and the fit was perfect. Nissan put in a removable drivers side inner exhaust hanger plate. It's an extension plate with a single bolt that is needed to hang the stock Nissan HKS muffler. This plate has to come off to fit the Beluga Axel Backs. Once off you just bolt the new exhaust on and it fits and looks factory. I was impressed with the finish and fit of the Beluga exhaust. What I didn't like was the drone inside. It was unbearable, to me. Also, my seat, shifter and foot pedals were vibrating. I drove the car for 20 minutes and had to remove it and put the stock muffler back on.

My Beluga axle backs were good to go! I put them on to my 2018 Sport Tech. At first, I did have fitment issues, with the pipes getting to close to the diffuser on both sides towards the inside (license plate). However, I fixed that by putting 4 to 5 washers on each side on one of the three bolts. They look great and I like the sound. My wife thinks it sounds like an older car but understands that a man needs to have a manly sound! It also beats the loud road noise that these cars have. Nothing rattles and if there is any drone, it's hard to hear it over the loud radio. Well worth it!

at least it sounds good to be honest
