Hi

I have a 96 Skyline Series 2 GTS-T

now atm its got 3" standard cat back exhaust system with a jazma muffler

now im from the gold coast and if any of you know geoff from Sebring Mufflers (Mermaid Waters)

ive seen him for an upgrade to turbo back + dump pipe

anyway he told me about a muffler that he can sell me which is called Hyper Muffler?

and i think the brand is TRR ?? cant remember but when i search hyper muffler it comes up with TANABE?

he said its a really good performer and has the drift look angle as they are designed to be fitted like that?

anyway if ive made any sense with the brand labeling can someone knowledgeble tell me if they are a good exhaust to go with?

price quote was 300-400 dollars for the cannon alone.

and 300 for hi flow ttr cat

thanks

JAZMA isn't a brand... its just a quality standard that aftermarket sports exhausts need to meet in japan.

so having said that there is probably no real useful reason to be changing the muffler as its probably good enough. (that's without actually seeing what you have though)

as for the dump/cat. i personally can't give you feedback as ive not heard of this muffler/dump/cat. what kind of money are they asking for these items? what diameter piping are we talking? is the dump split or combined?

Closest thing off the top of my head could possibly be JJR and they do a exhaust system called hyperflow?

edit:

Just also had a thought in regards to recommendations. Prolly need to have some idea of how much money your willing to spend. But as a general rule 3-3.5inch is good sized piping, the highest flowing cat that can be afforded and a split dump pipe, also how loud or quiet you want the exhaust to be.

Cheers

i've never heard of the hyper muffler or the brand TRR. you are probably better off going with something more reputable and known. it looks to me that this guy is over quoting you.

$300-400 for a cannon muffler/resinator is very expensive. at the end of the day it's just a tip.

$300 is very expensive for a high flow cat. how much CFM does it flow to? has to be at least 600-700 CFM.

hope that helps.

btw, check out the trader section of the site for some great deals.

380 dump pipe

400 Hyper Muffler

300 hi flo cat

160 cai s/s piping

200 labour

that was what he exactly quoted me

unsure what CFM the cat is

but it was a rounded one not the usual looking ones

looked like the one on this photo

http://www.nativoperformance.com/Productos...e10301SwebA.jpg

dump pipe is not twin as he said u lose space as its been halfed and such so much better to go with a single pipe

with my current exhaust pipe (JAZMA) he mentioned its fairly restrictive and that the Hyper Muffler is a good performance muffler.

thanks for your quick replys just making sure im getting a good deal.

so far everyone thinks im paying a fair amount.?

The price is not offensive except all the parts are a little bit of an unknown which for me isn't very attractive.

as for split dump pipes... if you buy a decent design (can recommend the bos import dump, contact BATMBL on this forum) they are the go for sure or a cheaper option would be the JJR split dump...i fear this dude is just saying its not as good because he doesn't stock one...

In my opinion you would be better off purchasing a bolt on catback system from one of the big manufacturers like the HKS, Trust, Fujisubo, etc. Then purchasing a split dump and cat off probably any of the traders on this website and bolt it up yourself. Honestly installing a bolt on exhaust system is one of the easiest mods you could ever do on your car. The hardest part would probably getting some of the old nuts undone..

why don't you do your own reasearch first and then install it yourself. No need for this thread really in my opinion

well i am trying to find out if TTR is a reputable brand for starters as im finding it hard to find a website on the brand. so do u not classify that as researching?

if i could install my self i wouldnt be explaining the prices of someone else to do it.

forums are a palce to seek advice not criticism that isnt constructive.

^^^^^^ What he said. Look at the just jap web site. $895 for a kakimoto exhaust thats legal is pretty good in my opinion. Unfortunately for the workshops out there, there is no need for you to get a custom made exhaust, as theyre available off the shelf for your application. If you want that dodgy guy to do something, get him to fit a metal cat catylitic converter ($330).

Take our advice, we've all been through it before. The quality of the jap exhausts is second to none.

Shaun.

thanks for the feed back Shaun, the guy is leaving the exhaust piping as is and he is just replacing exhaust and cat with a hi flow cat and drift exhaust so i dont know whether your talking about the exhaust or the piping

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
