Exhaust

[_Ryan_]

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.

hi ryan;

give unique exhausts in bayswater a call..

[Al]

Hey Ryan and Jarryd,

Dave (Silva33) has just purchased a Stagea and his exhaust is super quite; but has a nice note at WOT. Drop him a PM and ask if he knows what type of exhaust it is.

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.

of course.

Got a lot of shit to get done before x-mas(moving towns next year) so will be pressed to get exhaust done and shocks re-valved, rear rotors made to fit etc. but will try and get it all done.

Unique,

Carnegie,

Ferndale.

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

[SABBAi]

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.

the more info the better!

So this is Ferndale? Anyone to speak to in particular?

-Ryan

[NORBY]

yeah im talking about ferndale, AFAIK its a one man show. The guy is this big old fat guy with shit loads of burns in his shirt which doesnt fit him properly. His shop looks like somewhere you would never take your car but he does some awesome work... highly reccomended

[CrispyFries]

2 man show actually

[Jetdat]

i had ferndale do a 2.5 inch system for my 1600 back in early 90's sometime.. was very happy with price and workmanship, and i will be taking my new 1600 project to them soon..

[_Ryan_]

I was thinking, if a stock catback can flow 570CFM @28"(x-force cat figure), then why do a catback?

Sorry but that made me laugh! Nothing constructive to add to the thread except I am looking to get some kind of cat back made eventually so will see how you guys go.
