Hey Guys

In your opinion what type of exahust should i invest in? i have a 1996 S2 N/A and i really have no idea. I want power over looks and sound but i do want o have atleast a little bit of respect when it comes to the looks and sound of the system, if you know what i mean.

So what size would give me the best power upgrade? i was thinkin a 3inch cat back right thru but seriously have no idea.

Cheers

What engine? RB20E or RB25DE?

Either way I would say a maximum of 2.5" and mild steel pipe/mufflers, not stainless. Stainless systems can sound real bad on an N/A. I run a 2" on one of my RB20DE's with three straight through glass packed resonators.

My rallycar (RB20DE) runs the same, but 2.5".

The car with the 2" pipe goes way harder than the rallycar, so a small diameter pipe doesn't hurt performace on a lil' N/A. IMO the 2" pipe sounds better too.

respect is earned, not given by the looks and sound of an exhaust system.

you should invest in an exhaust for the car. try to search around the naturally aspirated section on what other people have done and their results (click here to search).

if you want high peak power at high rpm, get a large exhaust. around 3.0" will do.

if you want response and a usable power band, get a 2.25-2.50" exhaust

data and information in and around the forums is readily available from other owners who've done various mods.

it's a typical how long is a piece of string question, there are so many types of systems available, hks, fujitsubo, nismo, x-force, custom systems, etc. find one you like and get it.

to get you started here are some links.

that should answer your questions plenty. anything specifically that you can't find, feel free to start a new thread.

the following statement is not directed at you, it is a reminder to everyone posting in regards to anything.

too many 'what XXXXXX should i get' threads, put it simply if you can't put the effort to do the research for your own car then you probably shouldn't be owning a skyline. you can get advice and constructive feedback, but you can't get other people to choose for you. that's the whole point of modifying and customization - no one is going to spoon feed you.

p.s. - thread locked.

    • 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
