Recommended Full Exhausts Or Exhaust Shops For Rb25dets (r34)


Recommended Posts

All,

I am looking at getting an exhaust on my GTT and am wanting recommendations on either exhaust shops in the Sydney area (I am in Kogarah) or pre-fabricated full exhaust systems. I am not interested in just cat-back. I am specifically after a decent tone to the exhaust that is not too loud on the freeway or at low revs. Just a nice grunt when gunning it etc and a nice hum on idle (yes I know in a perfect world...)

Any advice on good shops that dont charge stupidly (like Lambros charging $600 for a stainless muffler!) or full kits that bolt on would be great. I am after a 3 inch from turbo back.

hey mate im working in kogorah i got a xforce turboback on mine

it sounds quite nice good grumbling sound not too loud either sounds effing sexy when turning on the car, exhaust comes out on an angle too but it does stick out a lil bit which i like but u may not come down swing by n check it out one of these days if i drive to work

Brookvale Mufflers - Best in town - Do crazy shit at awesome prices - 9905 3007

Completely custom exhausts :D You should go to the shop and see the kind of shit they are working on :P

Jamies exhausts are damn beautiful, and Andrew could turbo the sun!

I would either go a CES system

OR

Buy a dump pipe + front pipe in one from BATMBL on these forums (if he is still selling)

Then buy a jap branded cat back from say JustJap, or Nengun. E.g. A Trust Power Extreme II, HKS Silent Power, Fujitsubo or Kakimoto.

umm depends if welding on a new flange or just welding it straight on. if flanged then price is still bit high, but welding straight onto existing pipes can be done for $80. Hume Mufflers did my last one for that price.

in regards to full systems, jap branded dump/front pipes are not cheap...get a CES one teamed with a jap catback for best results. im running a Trust dump+front with a ceramic high flow cat and a Trust Power Extreme 2 catback sounds beasty!

by the way remember that in some cases you might need a new cat as well. as part of a full exhaust system, and being a performance car, most shops would also include a high flow cat into the deal! if they dont then remember to factor that in as well

Thanks for the replies guys. I ended up getting a second hand front split dump in stainless, custom front pipe, JJR 3 inch stainless cat ($180 with SAU discount), and an HKS Super Dragger cat back from the for sale section too. Should be installed this weekend hopefully!

Anyone know a cheap place to get it bolted on near Kogarah? It is literally a bolt on job and I could do it myself but it would be a lot faster on a hoist!

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
