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.

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

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
