most of it's going to come down to personal taste.

If all you want is a zorst to get the gas from the engine to out the back, then X-force is great value for money. Sure, the steel isn't as high quality, and the sound may seem 'tinny' to some, but hey, what does it matter, and for $900, turbo back, it's great value.

The other laternative is to get a bigger dump/front pipe (some in group buys) a high flow cat (ditto) and a jap cat back (pick your flavour... Apexi (or Apexera if you're being technical) HKS, Kakimoto......whatever)

The cost will be at least $300 for the pipe, about that again for the cat, and $900 for the cat back, which should include all gaskets.

So X-force will cost you $900, Something like an HKS silent will cost about $1500 if you import the cat back from nengun and buy the other bits on group buy.

Is the extra $600 (or so) worth it for a better sound, and better steel?

If so, go for it!

If not, well, you get the idea.

I went for the second option and got the HKS high power silent (though how an exhaust this loud can be called silent is open to question) and love it. I think the performance differences are negligable between different brands, provided they have the same width, and similiar straightness.

just pick your poison.

Look on Ebay you can get full stainless apexi systems for $1000. Go to the buy section and type in R34 or R33 heaps of shit there.

lol most ebay stuff are fake tho

:D

Get one made up , that way you know what parts went into getting it done.

I have dumps HKS (2) ,3" High flow cat, 3' by aprox 1 foot Resinator and Hot dog X-force with Silencer.

I think with this I can stay under the radar. You can remove the silencer on the track.

All was made up for me with my steel choice :)

i have a 3` catback atm, but my rear muffler is only a 2.5` should i just get a hi flow cat and dump + front and a new muffler installed? but gettin these parts and fitted would set me back around 4-500 or i should just buy a the whole xforce system instead? bcoz i could easily sell my current catback for 500, that way i have a brand new exhaust system

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
