Yo-Yo Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hi guys, another comm cheque, another mod Did a search but not having much luck. I'm going to buy a cat back system in the next few days & I can't decide which to buy ! I've been trawling through the Nengun site & have rounded it down to the HKS Silent Hi-power & the Blitz Nur Spec R. They are both in the price range I am happy to spend on a cat-back ($800-$850 delivered nengun prices) I'm looking for people's opinions & personal experiences with either of these systems as far as Exhaust noise (nothing too droney) & overall quality of the system. I'm after real opinions, not just what the manufacturers say on the website Cheers in advance everyone, Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/156555-exhaust-system/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo-Yo Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Whoops, stuffed the poll lol. Just treat the "other" option as the HKS exhaust Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/156555-exhaust-system/#findComment-2909445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisskid Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 get a big 3.5inch pipe, weld a flange on the end of it it straight onto the cat's flange, then wack a coahanger around it to hold it up near the diff, and run the pipe out the back but if ur soft, go the HKS maybe, i dunno, i got nfi about these fancy muffled exhuast systems Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/156555-exhaust-system/#findComment-2909464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbs33 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 CUSTOM. approx 400 for a 3 inch mild steel mandrel bent catback. You choose ur mufflers\look etc. For me this was the best choice, I got to make a high flowing system which was as quiet as possible. At idle it only sounds a tiny tiny bit louder then it did with the 13 y/o standard exhaust system.. Still has a quiet sporty note on boost\when driving etc. then just your front\dump pipe and high\megaflow cat..

nisskid Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 ^^agreed, get a good shop to do a custom exhaust, cheaper and better IMO. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/156555-exhaust-system/#findComment-2910727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
andz Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Blitz NUR spec R FTW! from the early votes...its FTL! I voted for HKS Got one running in my car, product is really well manufactured, bolt straight on sounds great, not too noisy/droney bit of cabin noise also Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/156555-exhaust-system/#findComment-2911017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_Force Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I came to a similar crossroad when choosing an exhaust. Btw. there r plenty of exhaust threads when u do a search, i know i came up with more than i can poke a stick at bout 9mths ago. Couple of things, the prices from Nengun, be sure that they include taxes coz i dont think they do. From memory Blitz NUR was round AU$990 + delivery. Secondly i would have to say the decision in the end is pretty much just about the sound/note, an exhaust is an exhaust, they r just pipes. Diffecrence is minimal, probly only in the mufflers, welding n finish. If i had to buy one new i'd get an X-Force, great value for $, looks n sounds ok, plenty of ppl on here use em n $ u save there can go towards other mods that im sure ull want to make But if ur not fussed on used gear u can pick up used exhaust here for a good price, i was gonna go with X-Force for my 34 until i saw a used Blitz for less so i got that instead, sent across the country no probs. Great flow, bit drony at certain revs. But out of the 2 u mentioned, i would say that the Blitz would hav a better flow but noisier, HKS would be less drony(bigger mufflers) but not as good a flow. Ur choice... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/156555-exhaust-system/#findComment-2911062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nizmo_freek Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 HKS Silent High Power FTW, go to the r33 link in my signature if you want a few pics of what the muffler looks like etc etc, awsome build quality and fit with no modifications.

SiR_RB Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 is there a noticable gain to be had with a 3.5" cat back VS a 3" cat back? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/156555-exhaust-system/#findComment-2911318 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nizmo_freek Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I would hardly call the HKS Silent High Power quiet.I only have the silent power and a decat pipe and its already pretty loud, it was very quiet when the rest of the exahsut was standard tho, i think i sounded better to, just rember that the r33 silent power uses a bullet shapped center muffler (its tiny as you can see on my pics) and the r34 silent power uses a box shapped center muffler which makes it alot quieter.

Yo-Yo Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Cheers Everyone, Very much appreciated! lol @ Nisskid, Nothing wrong with being a softie I had a custom exhaust made up for my R33 when I had it, awesome sound but so F'ckin' droney & annoying on the Freeway at around 100-110+kms. Looks like I'm steering towards the HKS for the cat-back.
