Hi All,

Just wondering what u guys think of the quote and if there are any places around that could possilby do a better price. Also wondering what kind of improvements are noticed with a decent exhaust. Thanks

A split dump pipe is $600 fitted

A 5" ballistic cat with 3" pipe size is $500 fitted

A 3" system is $580 fitted + tip.

sounds a bit much to me. sure it may be worth it for the stuff they are using (possibly) but there are systems out there much cheaper. full x-force turbo back 3" in stainless stell for $970 from UAS. that doesn't include fitting, but you could do it yourself. would take about half an hour.

Hey mate,

Try x-force 3 inch turbo back exhuast. U can get for 800 (mild steel) or so. Good performance at good price. check it out at www.Justjap.com

Just search x-force n you'll see comments from other sau memebers who have purchased this product.

i run the mild steel 3.5" cat back system, with 3" x-force cat, ebay dump, and some front pipe that was already on the car. very happy with it.

hey sorry to go off topic here but im getting the same setup installed tomorrow, is the 3.5" loud? kinda worried about that they had no 3" avialable hehe.

as for the main topic, the prices sound really steep. shop around and like others have said eBay is your friend! good stuff off there. Just Jap do 3.5" mild steel turbo back exhaust minus the canon for $599. then just get a twin pipe muffler off ebay for $100 and ur set.

Not sure about the dump pipe, but the rest sounds like the going rate for a custom exhaust. Good choice with the 3" pipe any bigger you start to get lag, even a 4" inch cat will do the job might be cheaper than the 5".

Check out C.E.S exhaust just type it in google, they have the best dump pipes for skylines.

If you are running a stock exhaust, you will hear and feel the difference you will like it.

how does adding a bigger exhaust create lag?

i don't find the exhaust too loud. the rear muffler is only 3", but i have a mate with the full x-force turbo back (3" front, dump and cat, then 3.5" cat back) and it isn't really any louder. it sounds sweet at full noise. burbles a little on deceleration though.

Im not an expert but i think it has to do with back pressure so i was told, from experience with my car i had a 3.5" exhaust with a 5" tip hks cannon, the car makes 330 rwkw and it did have lag. The turbo didnt cut in til 4000rpm.

Changed it to a 3" pipe and smaller cannon, it feels more responsive quieter and the turbo cuts in at 3500rpm.

madd why does your exaust change size 3 times from turbo to tip i would have thaught keeping things the one size all the way through would be best

it may creat a little dead spot running a bigger exhaust but it till make more power everywere even tho you can feel a little delay stomping it with the stock turbo from low revs.. a smaller exhaust may creat back pressure and spool up quicker how ever it will be making far less power.. for instance a mates r32 was seeing 14psi by 2400rpm only made 126rwkw!!! with the stock turbo and a FULL 3inch turbo back exhaust (cat converter had fused together)

after we replaced the cat with a brand newy the car felt completely different to drive in every way.. havent put it back on the dyno yet but am looking at doin that sometime next week..

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • 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.
