howdie all,

looking into purchasing a Stainless 3" catback or turboback exhaust depending on price,

Have been looking at;

HKS Cat Back - $900

Trust PE 2 Cat Back - $900

JJR Turboback - $900

X-FORCE Turbo Back - $1000

these prices are a rough estimate of what i have seen around...

any help on what to go for and where to get it would be much appreciated.

thanks.

Do a youtube search of all the brands your after so you can get an idea of what they sound like..

You can buy through traders here on the forums here for pretty cheap..

You can by through the internet through other traders..

Or go to your local performance stores..

You pretty much named all of them..

Except Apexi and that's all I can think of now..

HKS Cat Back - Well I haven't read much about these, but it can't be bad. Good quality. It's just a cat back.

Trust PE 2 Cat Back - Good quality exhaust and not loud. Its just a cat back.

JJR Turboback - You also get with this package, A split dump/front pipe and a High Flow Cat. It will be on the load sound as it doesn't have any resonators. Good performance for the price because of the dump/front pipe and high flow cat. Good quality.

X-FORCE Turbo Back - You also get with this package, A bell mouth dump/front pipe and a High Flow Cat. It will be quieter than the JJR but should be louder than the PE2. It has a resonator so it will be nice to the ears and the dB meter. Good performance for the price because of the dump/front pipe and High flow cat. Good quality.

Note: Changing the dump/front pipe will net you the biggest performance gain.

My Pick: Either the JJR or the X-Force. You get more for your $.

If I was to buy again: JJR split dump/front pipe with High Flow Cat with the X-force Cat-Back = Performance without being too loud.

Extra Note: If buying the X-Force and you don't want it too loud, make sure it has the oval resonator. I believe they came 2 different types. One was oval and the other was a hotdog (louder).

I have the X-Force Strainless Steel turbback on my car, its loud at WOT but ive had cops stand behind it and listen to it and they didn't seem to think it was illegally loud. As suggested, youtube the particular systems and see what sound you like best. If you want I can take a recording of the Xforce if you want

Ive got the JJR turbo back exhaust. Love it.

Good price and goes hard. Its also not that loud, innitially you will think it is, but after a couple of weeks, youll get used to it.

Its also not loud at all on the freeway, only in smaller revs.

Also the JJR has a split dump pipe when the x-force has bell shaped one... the JJR split dump pipe gives you better power and response.

awesome, probably thinking the JJR or a Cat back PE2 with a dump pipe from somewhere else?

might pay to find someone in SA and ask them to take me for a ride so i can get an idea of the in cabin noise! cheers guys!

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
