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.

1150 for a MILD STEEL cat back? wat highflow cat is it? if its one of the batmbl metal cats.. it may be a fair price.. if its a xforce ceramic cat.. its not worth it :laugh:

were abouts are you located.. someone may be able to recommend a better and cheaper place to get an exhaust done.

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

the turbo back zorst for the R33 GTST

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

http://www.justjap.com

I paid about 800-900 for mine just jap $699 + shippin I think was about $80 or something and $100 to be fitted.. Not to sure on what high flow cat it was though just talk to the guys at justjap... :laugh:

$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.

just get one from justjap or something then knock out the cat :laugh: SUPER high flowed!! (personal choice as this is illegal)

there all power robbing lil piece of crap!

i got mine done for $900 installed but im in perth (turbo back though)

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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
