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.

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
