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 :)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
