Exhaust

[Guest andrewjread]

I know this is probab a common question but what would a 3" exhaust from the cat back roughly cost for a R33 and is this what I should get. I dont give a shit about brand names or noise....just performance.

Heres a hard decision. Should I fork out for the exhaust, or get some nice rims and tyres first. decisions, decisions....

[gtrken]

Yes but without a bigger cat , either hiflow ( yes I know rev210 )or some larger flanges it is probably going to be a minimal performance gain.

I believe there is good gains to be made from a quality dump off the turbo.

What part of the exhaust should I do first then? I dont have the budget to get it all done in one hit

[gtrken]

I would suggest saving up and getting it all done at once.

Doing it bit by bit will invariably cost more because some stuff will have to be done again ( placing on the hoist , removing pipes , replacing gaskets etc )

[Guest andrewjread]

what price would I be looking at for a complete system then?

[gtrken]

Depends where you go , Stainless or mild steel , mandrel or press bent, Tig welded or mig, show quality or whatever.

Confused you enough yet??

Search some past recent threads in the W A section re. exactly the same thing.

Cheers

For a non-brand name system, then your looking at about $1400 for a complete system, but shop around and you can save yourself some money.

I have just made my system very hiflow, and the car feels the better for it. Definately do it all at once, just keep saving your money.

I have an jap made apexi N1 system (its not an apexi and doesnt wear the same price tag) Jeff Ash from c-red can organise one for you, about $1k from the cat back. I've taken beeble for a drive and he reckons they are tops as. Good looking unit and the in car noise is quite minimal, plus you should pickup around 15kw at the wheels. Rev210 went to quickfit exhausts in morley and they did a dump+front pipe for around $400, so once thats all on expect maybe a 20kw @ wheels gain, plus a tad more boost.

The guy next to Auto Worx in Wangarra does them for around $1200 for turbo back 3" system and SS muffler. (that's what I was quoted). Apparently does a beautiful job with the bending work. He's also got a dyno.

Are these full systems your talking about including a 3" hiflow cat?

[Guest rcd]

yep, from the turbo back, including 3" hi flow cat

[Cake]

rcd, yeah phat25t from these forums got his done there too for that price. 'Streetforce' the place is called, its in wangara, he's happy with his.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

That seems pretty cheap, aslong as it looks good then that's not a bad option. Pity that's in Wangarra.

I need some help with my exhaust parts.

I have a cat-back (i think) kakimoto exhaust seen here:

http://www.perfectrun.com.au/performance%2...fflerRslash.htm

You can see the 2 bits there, they are both joined, so i have 2 mufflers.

Then the pipe goes to the a little round thing where it appears the o2 sensor is (I dunno what its called) and then it goes to the turbo.

I want to put the front pipe + cat shown here

Do you guys think it will fit, work and make a difference?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Cat? That looks like a cat remover to me:p

It won't necessarily fit, but could be easily joined by any of the local exhaust shops. I would remove the centre muffler to give it better flow and better noise. It will definately make a difference.

[int21h]

Hehe,

Yes i was thinking the same thing.

Looks like it may be an expensive excersise.

Do you think this pipe is going to make much difference?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

It will make a huge difference, a cat-back is ok, but the only way to make real power is with a full exhaust system. It is the only logical step.

thanx Boo5t, just couldn't remember the name. Paul from Auto Worx say that they do a superb job. Wangara is a long way to go, I have to renew my passport every time I go there as I live in Beckenham. But when I'm ready to have mine done, I will get them to do it.

[rev210]

get a couple of quotes together then ring Pat at Quickfit exhausts in Morley. He does a great job and charges less than most.

His workmanship is top class.

unless you buy a completely stock car, alot of tyhe imports have these small mods done to them, exhaust, rims, pod filter etc. i bought mine when it had been modified to all hell and although a few parts have broken or fallen off the value cannot be argued. my cars got an apexi N1 with 3" off the turbo and 4" cat back, very nice exhaust.
