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 :)

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
