got quoted today for 2.5inch custom exhaust 850 installed at western mufflers. mild steel excluding extractors.

might get those coby ones from partsco.

anywho went to BEL and got quoted close to 1700 for the following

coby extractors $360 (get this myself)

bigger cat $440

HKS 409 (forget the name) exhaust 900 bucks

which should i go with?

will the custom setup give me the same performance gains as the HKS?

How big is the HKS 409?? what size piping

i tihnk its HKS 409 Hi power or something like that.

I reckon the custom exhaust unless your willing to put up twice that amount and go 1700.

but im not sure how good the hks hi power is.

thanks guys,

yeah its the hi-power silent one i think.

2.5"

the guy at BEL said they would need to cut off 6 inches though becuase it is an N/A

think i might go with the HKS one, bigger cat and get the extractors myself.

installation by myself probably.

$440 sounds a bit expensive for the cat - should be able to do better than that if you look around

Definitely fit it yourself, it's not hard if you have the right tools (basically just a good socket set and something to raise the car eg ramps/jack).

I have r33 GTS4 n/a. with standard exhaust. I really wanna just put a canon muffler.

1. Got quoted $280 for Canon muffler + Instalation (Muffler is some cheap brand I guess?) is this price is right?

2. How loud will it be when I put this muffler? does it depends on how big it is? like 3" tip and 4" tip?

****I had a cat back exhaust system before 3.5" pipe and 4.5" tim canon muffler, went back to standerd as it was loosing power due to lack of back pressure. But now I need little bit nice beat in the car, not too loud, thats why I wanna put a reasonable cannon muffler (my cat back exuast system is for sale by the way http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...8#entry3582368)

1. Got quoted $280 for Canon muffler + Instalation (Muffler is some cheap brand I guess?) is this price is right?

the price is right if you are happy with the product, it's impossible for anyone else to judge without having a look at it. best you go to whoever is supplying you with it and inspect for yourself.

2. How loud will it be when I put this muffler? does it depends on how big it is? like 3" tip and 4" tip?

this is your typical "how long is a piece of string?" question. loudness will depend on what other components you have, the quality and material used in those other components and the cannon. mild steel? stainless steel? titanium? etc.

tip size does have some affect on how loud it is. as a very general rule of thumb, the bigger the tip the louder.

okay,

theres a group buy $155 high flow xforce cat.

650 bucks for 2.5inch mild steel exhaust (custom)

might pick up second hand extractors.

cheers guys:)

saw a guy selling 2nd hand coby's for $300 in the for sale section.

keep us posted and when you get a video clip, post it in the sound thread

eug

Finally got it all done yesterday!

and im happy with the results

the car pulls alot better through the rev range and i get more out of each gear.

as i went from mild steel to stainless cat back the car has a much nicer growl. before it just sort of droned then droned some more.

the car is alot more responsive which makes driving it a lot more fun!

the extractors smoked some what but because i had the wrapping and high temp paint on them the coby paint didnt come off..

ill put a sound clip up when i can be bothered..

end of the story.. im happy :)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
