I'm not sure on pricing but one mistake I made is not checking hte part before it was installed.

Make sure you do this!!! Mainly checking for welds and other restrictions.. all welds should either be on the outside or ground back so not to cause any undue turbulance and restriction.

ok mate, this is a really bad question to ask the people here, as everyone is going to rave about their own exhaust, or spit out brand names that cost thousands...

my opinion is that an exhaust, as long as its flow is fine, does not need to have a brand name or anything like that in order to make power.

I think the loudness of an exhaust is related to

- its age

- type of muffler

- presence/absence of resonator/second muffler

Thus... when factoring in price, loudness, and power, i believe the best option is to get a setup that comprises a custom cat-back and cheap dump/front off the forums

So keeping in mind that a "turbo-back" exhaust consists of

- dump pipe

- front pipe

- cat

- cat-back

i reccommend the following:

1) dump/front pipe in one from BATMBL: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=74022

2) 3" cat from BATMBL: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=74022

3) custom 3" mandrel-bent exhaust including new muffler and resonator: see your local exhaust shop and shop around for a few prices...

This should all up cost you less than $1000 and see you a decent increase in the seat-o-the-pants-o-meter

cheers,

Warren

I'd just go mild steel from a local exhaust shop.

I paid $600 (without a hi-flow cat), that was a new dump and full 3" mandrel exhaust.

Cheaper than stainless... and realistically, you dont need stainless.

You cant see it, so who cares?

personally i'd go the x-force mild steel from cat back. $699 from justjap (go to your local shop and ask them for a price and if justjap are cheaper then see if they can match or better that price). if you go with the batmbl dump/front pipe and cat you are up to over $600 and still have to get a cat back system, which you won't get for under $200 as it costs about that much just for a decent muffler.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
