Hey guys

just wanted to advise on my exhaust system:

kokimoto cat back

front pipe

2 mufflers

no dump and i think its a stock cat

i wanted to get my exhuast system updated

i wanted to get a dump or a new front pipe

and i wanted or i heard that if i get rid of the 2nd muffler it will be less restrictive and my car will go harder????

and i was thinking of putting a new high flow cat??

i got a quote and to do this will cost roughly $600

high flow cat and dump and remove 2nd muffler do u think its worth it or should i leave it??? will my car eat more fuel???

the exhaust on a turbo should be as free-flowing as possible for obvious reasons. we do not rely on back-pressure in the system like the n.a. cars which is why the n1 systems from apexi and such are just really a straight pipe from the cat back.

high flow cat would free up air flow, as would no cat. but i'm guessing u wouldn't wanna run without a cat.

n less mufflers = less restriction + lighter = faster car.

    • I might just check it out.. A Q among all those skylines.. lol
    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
