Now before people say do a search, i did a quick one, and this is more specific.

Hey all

I need a 3" catback to suit a stagea, so going to go custom...

Being a wagon, drone is a major issue, i don't want to be able to hear my exhaust except when i am fanging it, as i like to listen to my music, and the sound of my tires.

So, Here is the first question, based on what most locals stock, what should i go with?

Lukey or Magnaflow

Second,

Who should do it for me?(prefer SE!!!)

Third,

What is a realistic price? HKS Silent Hi-Power is 92db i read, and that is 899 from just jap, so there is a reference point.

But i plan on running one straight through muffler on the rear, and an offset mid-muffler.

The workshop i use reccommend Unique in bayswater, just curious as to where everyone else has gone.

Spoke to a mate(his old man owns AllMaz), his MX6 and their old 'Rod were done by Carnegie exhausts using Magnaflow components, worked out well.

Going to drop in there tomorrow.

Will PM Dave thanx Al.

you also might want to give Ferndale Exhuasts in ferntree gully a call, my only issue is he might not know jap cars THAT well as he mainly does commodores/falcons, i doubt he would have done a Stagea, especially with brand name bits (magnaflow,lukey etc)

I had them do a custom rear section for my silvia, not too loud except when I want it to be, it's great.

did you get the loud or the quiet option, thats what he gave my old man when he did his falcon. The loud seems a little too overkill to me, my old man got the quiet one, seems like a good option for those wanting good noise on WOT

I just asked for 3" section with large muffler, Y piece and twin tips to bolt to the front section of the shitty blitz catback that was on it

It is a quiet system Trav.

I've used them myself for close to 7 years. The only thing they wont do is turbo manifolds as they say all mild steel manifolds crack. They like doing imports and custom systems as it breaks up their days from doing catalogue Falcadores exhaust systems. They can do any type of system, ranging from 2" crush bent, right through to 3" mandrel section stuff. They also work with 4" mandrels as well, as they frequently work on trucks.

Reasonably priced too.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
