new week, new dickhead asking the same questions :blush:

well not really, cause ive just spent an hour doing a search and had a lot of questions answered...

i know i want a full turbo back system, i have also been told to get a split dump pipe as it does make a difference (which i wasn't going to do at first)

everyone on here seems to sway to 3.5' rather then any other size... so i'll probably go that...

I know i want a cannon, thats just personal preference...

now, what i am unsure of is:

what to get it made out of: im thinking stainless steel cause it looks better, and i dont think it will get too hot the way i drive... has anyone actually cracked a stainless steel exhaust?

the cat: hi flow i assume, someone mentioned metal hi flow is better, but i think i was drunk at the time so i dont remember...

custom or store bought: i know some guys that do WONDERFUL custom exhaust jobs... they quoted me $950 for full turbo back which i was going to take, but i dont think that included a split dump pipe... but with all these store bought, simple bolt on exhausts, is there any point in having anything done custom? as im sure a lot of thought went into these exhaust systems...

If i have missed anything, please lemme know :)

all sounds good.

definately get a highfolw metal cat.

i would take the custom made job over the bolt in one, espescially if you say they are "wonderful"ly made.

$950 for a custom made stainless exhaust with all you need from the turbo back sounds pretty good to me. the only way to get a cheaper one would be to make it yourself (if your a welder).

And ive never had any trouble with stainless steel, aslong as the TIG is cranked up enough.

yeah, they had a customer at their workshop, he had a V8, paid them $1250 for all the way back from the exhaust headers...

originally the car had a $2500 job from somewhere i wont mention and he was SHOCKED at the shit work, and amazed at what these guys had done... i havn't welded since year 9, but i could do better...

my mate is a welder and he says this guys are pretty much as good as it gets...

ill see what others have to say, simply cause someone might say something i havn't heard yet... but thank you for the input :blush:

and i meant cracked after it was put on, from differentiating heat temperatures... people say it cracks, but my car isnt exactly running 3bar of boost, doing laps of wakefield, so im not too worried about it... just wondering if anyone has any personal experience with breaking a stainless steel exhaust...

i went for the full custom exhaust and paid around the 1k mark. if i could've chosen to do it again i would've gotten the dump and front pipes (split style - from one of the traders) and cat separate (metalcat), then any cat back exhaust out there.

i would've gotten them all to fit into the stock location so if i ever got defected i could stick on the standard exhaust with no dramas. i had to get my standard exhaust cut and welded to fit which cost me a bit extra.

you might find some custom exhausts sound sh#t compared to a Jap item like a Kakimoto exhaust. (best sounding exhaust for an rb)

i beleive the best sounding exhaust for an rb is straight off the dumps (providing you have rather large dumps i.e. trust) or off the front pipe.

that is pretty much EXACTLY what i plan on doing :D its great to know that im on track with this, as i dont really want to change much of it... the canon on the back ill probably have to change til i find one i like...

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
