First mod anyone should do is an exhaust sytem right...?

turbo back exhaust is the way to go.....

how much did you pay/or should pay for a turbo back exhaust sytem?

I got quoted at a local muffler joint; $900 (fitted)

for a 3' turbo back exhaust with catback

Depends on your car and also brand of catback etc.

I found a Apexi 3" Catback system starting at $750 not fitted.. but for a R34 GTT Sedan they wanted $899.. it was thru - guess you have a R32 gtst they dont actually fit after i wrote all that so cant be bothered to delete it...

TRUST Power Extreme II - Fits all R32 models $879 not fitted.

$900 is a reasonable price for a turbo back.

Stainless or Mild? I'd assume Mild.

Nothing wrong with mild. Doesn't look as flashy and lasts 5-10years.

If I were to do it again from the start I would drop a 3.5" system on it with large twin mufflers (center and rear) to keep the noise down a little. Canons are as loud as crap, try to avoid them unless you want the milo tin look.

Becarefull of 'some' of the jap mufflers as they taper down inside. Which obviously restricts exhaust flow.

pm batmbl about his front/dump pipe and cat converters - they are the best. Then get a cat back of your choice. Bit more expensive than the 900 (i think mine was around 1400) - but the power gains and response was unreal.

What about if you mix n match your bits?

like get your dump/ front pipe from somewhere, i know they're pretty cheap now...

then get your preferred cat converter.... then your cat back system...?

might work out cheaper? or not lol

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.
    • Selling my TE37SLs since I've switched to smaller wheels.  They're for sale in Japan but it's pretty simple to send them overseas; USA excluded, since JPPost isn't sending there at the moment. Specs Front: 18x9.5j +22 5x114 Rear: 18x10j +20 5x114 Price: 320,000 JPY/ 3,285 AUD (current FX rate) Condition: a few scratches here and there, no bends, distortions or cracks.  Tires will not be included for international buyers, I'll get them dismounted before shipping. They're currently listed on yahoo auction and will be shipped in Japan with the tires if they sell here. Shipping costs to Aus: EMS (1-2 weeks): AUD 1,175 (current FX rate) Sea (2 months): AUD 460  (current FX rate)
    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
