N1 vs JunBL (xhaust)

[Guest sir_GTR]

Hey guys,

I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed b4, sory if i'm repeating it

Anyway, I went to get 2 quotes for a full exhaust system;

1. N1 front pipes

N1 Cat back system

Mid pipe custom made with Cat 3" h/flow

(stainless steel muffler + tip only)

$2300 fitted

and 2. JunBL

3.5" custom dump & Hi flow cat (mild steel)

JunBL cat-back with 4.5" tip (s/steel cat back)

$1600 fitted

The question is?... is it worth the extra $700$$$ for the N1 exhaust??? or just go for the custom made JunBL???

Will it make much difference in performance? or am I just paying for the name?...

Any feed back is appreciated

Sometimes theres actually may be more information posted

previously about the topic then you may get in your thread. I'm

sure everyone will be happy to add to an old thread and give

updated info. Not taking a stab at you Andy, I've done this

before and found there was heaps more information posted

previously. Maybe worthwhile.

Have you considered other exhaust eg the HKS Super Dragger? Are both front/dump pipes mild steel?

[Guest sir_GTR]

Srxist

HKS super dragger is like $2000 (just cat back)

umm WTF???:cuss:

[XrSiSt]

I'm not sure how much it is for a GTR but for a GTS-T from

http://www.uniqueautosports.com.au its $1495

Is there that much difference?

Andy did you end up checking out D&T Performance's WWW site.

I'm happy with my exhaust, not to loud and looks like a sleeper.

As You found out

Joel you bastard :cuss: :cuss: :cuss:

Yah your exhaust is certainly a "sleeper" alright..

darn you car is fast...i cant believe it...I launched the same against the VX SS, but you're like...wat the ***, whats he still doing next to me... ARRRRR...

Maybe I'd need to launch 7000 next time... but then by friday, i'd have full xhost and K&N... it will be different...

I actually went to dtperformance.com.au ...left out www.

I'll check the site out now... thanx mate

Cheers,

apex n1's have guarranteed performance gain I have one and I'm very happy with is the jun one I don't knoe but is it a jun japan system

meggala

[Guest sir_GTR]

mega...JunBL is Korean made..not japs'

[meggala]

then I would either buy an apexi or a custom made local exhaust

meggala

[BOOSTMEISTER]

Sir GTR, I was just about to mention that...

JunBL has nothing to do with "JUN Auto Mechanics" in Japan

It's dodgy Korean gear that I have seen the tips just drop off...yep a mate bought one and after 12 months the exhaust tip just fell off, turns out that it just rusted off, interesting for a stainless muffler?????

[Guest | hype^ |]

who in nsw supply N1's??

[lou15x]

after having gone thru a few different mufflers makes on different cars myself plus my mates' cars, i'd defn only choose jap names like apexi, hks, trust, fujitsubo, tanabe etc... they've been proven to flow very well and yet keep the noise down... where front end pipes are concerned, the engineering involved results in well designed and constructed bends... if ur local exhaust shop can make up good front end piping for a good price, then i'd recommend that plus a jap muffler... brands like junbl and chitose and whatever other non jap made ones that have jap sounding names are crap, u might as well have no muffler at all...

[STUGTR]

sir_GTR,

look at the link below, you should also try JMS is adelaide as they

would have some good second hand GTR Exhuasts. or if you email me i can put you in contact with someone in Melb who may be able to do you a HKS Hiper cat back for $950 or so. But $2300 is quite good incl cat as you can see the site below would cost you $1995 for N1 front pipes and cat back. Don't get JunBL

hype,

this place sells N1's and other Apexi gear but do nt have a show room

just drive down to just jap

picked up a lovely cat back 3.5' hks thing for 500(shiny)

car goes like a scared cat now

Another thing about exhausts

Is there really much of a difference with the name brands? I want to get an Apexi N1 muffler, or perhaps a nice big HKS one, or something that looks nice and sounds good. Then ill get a hi-flow cat.. But for the rest of the pipes, does it really matter what brand it is? I was thinking just getting one made from one of the local shops which do good jobs..... its heaps cheaper, but is there any real difference than if it were a Apexi or JunBL etc..

they're only pipes - so does it really matter what brand it is?! Cats/Mufflers i can understand, because theres different noise/flow issues, but as for the pipes......

[XrSiSt]

Just make sure your dump pipe flows well and isn't restrictive.

[lou15x]

i would suppose that the brand name jap pipes are well engineered designs for better gas flow at the bends? just taking a guess... in that sense, the premium you pay is a guarantee of quality... whether or not ur local shop can match that depends on their knowledge and skill... if they can and it saves you a few hundred dollars, heck why not

[rs73]

Has anyone compared Apexi N1 & Apexi GT mufflers...?

I suppose N1 is louder and GT is more suitable for legal street application....??? GT's $300 more expensive than N1, prob coz the extra muffler added....

[lou15x]

i'm running a megaphone back box on my gts25t... outside the car, it's audible that the car's got a zorst... inside the car it's faintly noticeable... no drone, at all! and all i've got is a 3" and hi flow cat, no resonators... if ur worried about noise but want the n1 for it's lower price, the silencer tip (~$100) may do the trick... somehow these straight sixes are much quieter

[Cubes]

I had an exhaust fitted from a Custom shop here in SA.

www.dtperformance.com.au

Basically its from the turbo back with a high flow 7ltr cat, large resonator then a large rear muffler at the back with a 3" tip.

All is apparently Marine Grade 3?!? S/Steel.

It isn't loud, doesn't drone and jumped boost up to almost 12psi from around 8psi with the std. exhaust.

You can have a larger tip fitted if you want but I like to keep attention away especially through those defect stations and bretho's that we have here so often.

It also allowed me to dial in some more timing before she would start pinging. With the std. exhaust it was really touchy.
