looking for an exhust system as my first mod. i own a 95 r33 - a "s1.5". what are people's opinions on getting a trust PE II catback vs a X-force turboback. they are $899 and $950 respectively from justjap. if people could answer the following questions it'd be really helpful:

1. why is the trust system only 50 bux less than the X-force?

2. both are 3 inch so what is the performance difference between them, taking into account that 1 is a turboback

3. how durable/reliable are the 2

4. are they direct bolt on or will i (read the mechanic) hafta stuff around?

5. im looking for sound that is noticably louder than stock but no where near the "look at me, im fully sick" drones and volume levels some cars have. ie. i want it well below legal limits. which is the best fit for this?

6. i had a question six but my brain has just died so yeh...

thanks in advance.

p.s if you guys have sugestions 4 othe systems that fit my needs feel free to lemme know. pricing and where to get them would be nice

1) Trust system is only Catback.. You pay for the name

2) Trust system will be quieter

3) No idea.. althought the trust system is stainless.. so should last a while

4) Yes.. but that doesnt mean there wont be a few swear words and bloody knuckles

5) Get the Trust system (plus dump and high flow cat).. Xforce will be loud.. and pretty much every aftermarket system will be over the legal limit

6) Yer that happens sometimes.. its called a "Brain-Fart"

I've just been thinking the same thing with my exhaust.

I want something that sounds good normally, not droney and overly loud cruising, but great when I open it up.

If you do go with the Trust PE II get it from nengun, much cheaper!

Currently have a tanabe cat back on my R34. Its quiet as when idling and at low revs, and when you put your foot down ya get that sweet sound of the RB :P Not sure of costings cos it came from japan like that... hope this helps...

I have a HKS super dragger... its a deep sound but not where near as loud as a the common cannon exhaust... but its an 8" barrel and 5" tip LOL massive bastard

if you want quiet and low profile go for the magnaflow... someone on here is currently selling a cat back... nothing special in looks but its quiet and does the job :P

The which exhaust question gets asked almost on a weekly basis. A search b4 post answers most of ur queries. Get a turboback woteva u can afford to. Here's a post from last week http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=159310

So if $950 is ur budget get the X-Force turboback or buy a split dump, hi-flow cat & used catback, hav a look in For Sale section. Oval mufflers will give u a lesser flow but less noise/drone, round mufflers will give a better flow at the cost of more noise.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
