anything recommended, want my car to sound nice. does a full exhaust system include the extractors?

You mean the manifold?

That will cost a fair bit I think and most people get stainless custom welded ones if replacing usually.

Just look at getting from the dump pipe back (maybe a hi flow CAT as well) which will cost around $1000-$1200 for a decent one.

But it is a fact. Garrette oems for hks. That came from someone who worked for hks, so i beleive it's pretty reliable. They might be of different specifications but almost similar, and the other big difference is hks makes them as bolt on kits and garrette u have to custom most stuff stuff.

Yes, they OEM for them. But to HKS specs.

So they are never the same turbo.

being that your car is turbo you wont have to buy extractors as they dont have the same manifold setup as a non turbo car.

You could buy an aftermarket low mount stainless maniofold if you wish, however its not really needed.

Just purchase a full 3 inch system from turbo back with a high flow cat and a single muffler on the rear.. That should give the note your looking for.

you can save yourself a bit of money buy buying the parts from online shops and getting it delievered then installing yourself

it is not a very hard job to do the turbo back exhaust you just need to be keen with the right tools and a days time should be good to go

i got 3" dump and front, then HKS muffler and my rb20 has a nice note the one you are looking for...

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
