Jim Schumacher dynoed 180 whp on his B13 with the "tiny" 50mm Greddy. The Greddy for your B14 is 60mm (about 2 3/8") while the Courtesy is supposedly 2 ½". I heard Jim is going to install the Courtesy... if possible I'd wait for his impressions and/or test results before deciding.

If you had to make a choice right now (and considering you live in NY) I'd go with the Courtesy because it is SS whereas the b-pipe on the Greddy is aluminized and rusts very easily. Be warned... it is my understanding the full Courtesy exhaust is quite a bit louder than the Greddy.

Get the Greddy. The only way to go for the VE motor. Not too big and not too small. Perfect ex for up to 220-230 WHP

I will say that 2.5 is not to big for a VE. Not saying that 60mm is too small either. The Greddy would be a great choice IMHO. I would not wish building a costum exhaust on my worst friend. Jim did one pull and got 180whp with the small greddy. I would be carefull about comparing results from one dyno to the next. We don't know much about his results there. He didn't even get a printout becuase he was not charged IIRC.

Correct. Remember, the B14 Greddy is bigger than the B13.

the greddy is 60mm. 60mm=6cm, there are 2.5cm in every inch. 6/2.5=2.4" the Greddy sounds perfect for you guys

Building your own is a huge PITA. Trust me. In the end I only paid $110 for my custom 2.5 inch. That lessens the pain. I would either get the Greddy or build you own using the parts from a Courtesy Nissan setup like Jim is doing. So Jim is that Courtesy Nissan b-pipe 60mm or 2.5 inch's. My bet is its 60mm. Jim, Thanks for checking in on us from so far away.

I think Jim said earlier it was 2.375" or 60mm.

The Greddy for a B13 is only 50mm or just under 2 inches on the OD. I measured it and know this for fact. From what I understand it's 60mm for the B14 only.

It's 60mm or approximately 2.375 on the OD. It measures approximately 2.25 inches on the ID.
