Hmm, I checked with x-force themselves, and another exhaust workshop. The RRP for the system is at $1600. The workshop qouted me a price of $1,500 (including fitting). I checked some of the online stores, but none of them have the turbo back system - they all have cat-back and then I will have to spend extra on the other items like the dump pipe etc. All in all, it comes to over $1200.

Anywhere else I can check around melbourne?

just jap ...it'll be around $7-$800 for a 3" mild steel turbo back

$500 for just the cat back and canon....so they must only charge $2-300 for the front, and cat...

Hi Dezz,

We actually do the full turbo back mild steel systems for Skyline and Silvia for $699 + Delivery

Hmm that looks pretty sweet mate, I''l be in for one in a few weeks. Is it worth spending the extra $250 and going stainless steel tho? What are the advantages?

Soz for the stupid noobie questions. But I'm more in the know when it comes to electronics. All this stuff is greek to me.

My personal experiance with Xforce is nothing but drone.

Ive heard some that were not really TOO droney, but still pretty bad.

I am currently really happy with my Fujitsubo Legalis R and if i had a manual car, Id definatly go for the SUPER R

I think Just jap looks liek it is the go - after steve pm's me back, I will make my decision.

But hearing the sound from the mechanics silvia - i thought "bloody hell, that sounds awesome!!" Nice grunt to it when its on idle - like the car sounds like it means business...

i noticed more top end when i put mine on. didn't run out of puff as much at high rpm. all depends on how much boost you are running. with the stock exhaust it was really hard to get the car to hit the rev limiter as it would choke. now will full exhaust it does it easily (not that i try to), if i happen to give it a fang to try to beat traffic it is there in no time.

So you guys all are running x-force? I have been looking at other brands too like the fujitsubo front pipe and catback + matching hks dumppipe - but i have gotten a qoute of $2100 (im assuming the big brands are all around the high $1k or low $2k range). Is there any combinations that anyone could recommend perhaps? Like I keep hearing great stuff about BTMBL's stock, but I would need to get the other parts to complete the turbo back system. I know some brands can be mixed and matched (eg, fujitsubo + hks)- does anyone have a mix'n'matched system?

batmbl split front/dump. batmbl (CATCO) hi flow cat...and a cat back of your choice...thats all you need

ill be selling my 3" tanabe cat back with oval muffler soon...

ebay dump, 3" front was already on the car, but think its pacemaker, x-force cat, x-force 3.5" cat back. if your are worried about the note then the x-force can be ordered with a different muffler, like an oval instead of the cannon.

Interesting topic, been following it from the start as i too am after an exhaust. Looking at gettin a BATML split dump, CATCO metal cat n cat back(not sure which one yet). I'd like a muffler with twin tip(preferably one that kinks up at the tip) or even a twin pipe system but dunno if that'll fit into the 3" cat flange and finding a twin tip muffler or twin pipe is next to impossible. Anyone know where to get one of these?

Also does anyone know of any sites where u can hear exhaust notes with different exhaust systems?

xforce has a twin tip system that kinks up...the part code is P-EX10, or another 1 from them is the PT01. they also have about 5 or 6 other twin tip mufflers, but without the kinked up tips

ok, so some the x-force is droney, others disagree... but everyone seems to agree that the Jap exhausts sound the shiz..

So what, in the design on the JDM exhausts, makes them sound good?

Cheap local exhaust shop 3" exhausst dont sound that bad either, just gotta get a good muffler. I had a mandrel bent 3" cat with a 3" pipe through it and a really big bodied junbl muffler. Not the best system in the world but it performed and sounded really nice, a little bit droney around 2k but another resonator would have fixed that up.

I think the biggest factor to sound is how many bends, what muffler and what resonator if it has one. I've heard stainless sounds different to mild steel as well.

Also does anyone know of any sites where u can hear exhaust notes with different exhaust systems?

I never had much success, I recommend going on a skyline cruise and get ahead and watch everyone drive by. Then ask the owner what system they have :nyaanyaa:

Hmmm... checked out their site, doesnt seem to be there. Know of anywhere else i can see one of these twin tip mufflers? Anyone know wot the notes like on this muffler? Does x-force system also need a resonator/mid muffler?

Looking at puttin this on a R34 GT-T with Batml split dump n CATCO 3" metal cat.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
