$1,150 Supplied + Fitted For An Xforce Turbo Back

[Lachlan33]

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.

that sounds ok to me. but i have seen the system cheaper. i have seen the full system for about $800 for the 3" mild steel from just jap. but that wasn't fitted and didn't include freight.

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

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

it takes sweet f**k all to fit a bolt on cat back :|.. half hour/hour at the MOST

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

[rb26s13]

ahh turbo back

woops missread that as cat back.. well 1150 for a turbo back exhaust is decent than..

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

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...

[R31Nismoid]

$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

[Lachlan33]

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.

[R32 Driver]

just get one from justjap or something then knock out the cat 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)

[Nabil]

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

[sinistaGTR]

just get one off a trader here for not much and bolt it up your self its not hard at all

[SECURITY]

last i heard the x-force turbo backs were 799 from justjap.

$350 for a 30min job is a bit too hardcore for my liking.

[32vspecII]

i paid 750$ for a r33 xforce turbo back inc hiflow cat mild steel

then fitted for 200$
