Hey guys,

got my tax return so ive just gone and gotten a quote at Carline Mufflers. X-force Mild steel turbo back with hi flow cat, supplied and fitted will be $1,150.

I was hopeing it would be about the $1k mark.

Does this price sound reasonable?

Stainless steel was going to be like $1,850, way too much. And from what ive heard Mild steel, although it rusts quicker, is still good for 5+ years.

Id call some other places but Carline is nice and close to me and ive dealt with them before, nice people.

In in the blue mountains, carline is at emu plains.

Ive seen the mild steel version at Justjap for $800 yes, but once you add shipping and instalation costs, it would probably be close to $1,150 anyway.

As to what cat it is, im guessing the whole system is Xforce. Its on their website, www.xforce.com

Just Jap in Sydney does the X-Force stainless turbo back system for $950, and the mild steel turbo back for $799.

$1150 turbo back is pretty resonable including a hi-flow cat IMO.

Could be $100-$150 cheaper, but meh. Depends how tight you are.

Make sure you get your old exhaust back off em for that price :laugh:

Yeah look really Ill pay $1,150. Was just checking to make sure they arent like $300 or something... lol

Anyway I want to goto Carline, got a Cat-back done on my old car and they seem to do good work and are friendly, which is worth paying for IMO.

Im a little concerned about how loud its going to be. 3" with a Cannon muffler (6" body, 4.5" tip)

Being within legal limits would be nice...... But somehow I get the feeling it wont be. Oh well.

tooooooooooo expensive!!! Should be a turbo back for that price.

Buy a second hand one from the trading post for about $700.

I must have typed something wrong...your the 2nd person to not see the 'turbo back' parts of what I have said.

It IS turbo back buddy :P

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
