this is mostly concerning catbacks....i was wondering is there a real big difference between branded cat backs like apexi blitz ect compared to other normal cat backs?

i always planned to get a branded exhaust.......not because its branded but because i know its good due to others telling me they love theirs. i dont hear much about custom made exhausts and stuff.

looking at prices between the 2 there is a big diffrence.....some catbacks go up to as much as 1200 and non branded ones stay around 500 bux.......

is there a real big difference between the 2?

thanks

edit: just took a look at the just jap exhaust systems......1200 bux for a full system compared to a branded catback for the same price.....i can only imagine what kind of differences there is between the 2.

has anyone tried just japs exhaust systems?

i'm only joking.. post what you like :) we're friendly here :)

The difference I have found most significantly with the non-branded name exhausts are that... their bloody loud compared to the Jap brand-name exhausts!!

If you can live with that, yeh I guess its fine! :P

Branded, you get what you pay for
its the same shit

see tehre are alot of diff opinions........i really wanna know ppls experiences between the 2......

if you feel buying an exhaust with "HKS" branded on the side has better performance than one that doesnt, go ahead and waste your money

man seriously darK i think something is wrong with u. this whole thred was about finding out which is better....when the hell did i say i prefer branded over non branded for performance.....i only said i know from mates telln me they have no problems and love their exhausts (which happen to be branded).

damnet this forum pisses me off sometimes :(

10 bux says someones gonna get me for wat i jsut said......**cough**cough** admins :/

most cat backs are the same imo - but I have heard that jap brand catbacks have been tested much better than the no name catbacks. I got a trust pe2 - main reason was that it was very quiet - and once i did get it installed - it sounded fantastic and the response on the car is much much better :(

If you want a huge rumbling noise type cat back - then go with xforce or blitz nur spec - i have heard them on a silvia and a chaser respectively - and all i could say was its way too loud for my liking....

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
