Okay,

There isn't really an exhaust reference thread like there is for other parts for our cars, so lets post what we have that fits, and where from, and i will up date this post, then maybe it could be added to the FAQ thread?

So everyone who has fitted justjap/x-force/flyn dump/fronts etc, post here

If you have used an exhaust from another car, add it here, and try and show what mods were done. I picked up an r32 exhaust, so will be posting what needs to be changed once it has been fitted, so that others can take advantage of the cheapness of second hand r32 exhausts.

-Ryan

If someone can edit this image of an R32 exhaust showing what they did, it will help me, if not, i will update once mine is done. post-8497-1207469502_thumb.jpg

Brand new cat backs can be found here, starting at 799 for a stainless HKS: http://justjap.com/store/home.php?cat=252

Justjap split does not fit, hits floor, quality not as good

Bos importing and CES split do fit, but cost more, good quality

X force bell mouth fits, good quality

bell mouth produced more kw approx 7-8kw on a hks GTRS on a neo stagea, over a split dump.

A couple of weeks ago I finally got around to fitting the exhaust to the Stagea. It is a Nismo 3.25” off the R32GTST with a large off set muffler in the middle and a straight though muffler at the rear. I used it because it was spare (the R32GTST has an Apexi 90mm titanium exhaust on it now) and because it was quiet, but at the same time not too restrictive. The old RB20DET made 225 rwkw with it on, so the 200 rwkw target from the Stagea seems reasonable. Plus I am going to use the Performance Metalcraft split dump off the R32GTST, so it is basically the whole exhaust, except the Stagea will run a cat. I already have a new Catco high flow cat ready to go on to replace that crappy compliance one.

On the Stagea, the Nismo exhaust works exactly as I hoped it would, very quiet up to 4,500 rpm, with absolutely zero drone. It has the RB signature howl at 5,000 rpm upwards though.

To get it to fit the Stagea we had to do a few mods. I will post up some pictures, in the interim;

1. We (mostly Liverpool Exhausts) had to add around 4” just before the rear subframe

2. Plus around 3” between the rear muffler and the tail pipe.

3. Cut off the R32 hangers at the sub frame and the rear muffler and weld on a couple of new ones in the Stagea positions.

4. Cost was $190 for the mods, fitting, new bolts, nuts and gaskets.

So it was a pretty cheap upgrade and it certainly makes a difference to the power and useable rpm range. Thinking about it, the Stagea is the first Sklyline/Stagea I have had with a standard exhaust, all the others have had modified exhausts when I got them. So this is the first time I get to experience what a difference an exhaust makes, so I am enjoying doing it in stages, to feel the difference each upgrade makes.

:D cheers :)

PS; for Alex, thanks for buying that FMIC, I found a Blitz 600 x 300 x 100 instead :D .

I have a Just Jap front dump pipe on my S1 that fits great with no mods - not sure who said they dont fit but mine did.

THe rest of mine is a Tannabe system from a s2 that needed some adjustment to exit at the correct point at the rear. The S1 has an indent for the muffler exit and the s2 doesnt from memory. Just a slight bend to get it to fit spot on.

System is very quiet - only just noticeable at idle and cruising without being too offensive at revs. Revs a lot easier and smoother but not certain of exact power gains.

M35 Exhaust. Had it locally made from a mob that I have been using for years....great quality and great job.....Nice burble for a V6 turbo as well!

Got 3" cat back....will be doing the dump pipe and new high flow cat as soon as the turbo get's done....pretty weird thing happened when I did it as well....boost went up from approx 8PSI to approx 15PSI as soon as it was done....new it would be a slight difference but not that much.

i have an 8th mnth 98 model series2. brought an r34 AM Performance split down down pipe that fitted but didnt meet up to original cat as my car seemes to be a change over model between S2 and S1 models. turns out early S2's have an r33 down pipe length but i live in Adelaide and the guy that builds them is around the corner so had him make a decat pipe. The drive to his place with just the dump pipe was exciting though. 3 inch S/S Trust Power Extreeme 2 cat back ($760 from car toys)was fitted in less than half an hour without even jacking the car up of the ground. i havent heard another stagea other than mine but i know mine sounds sweet as and sounds like it is flowing very freely.

i went custom, 3" mild, mild mid, magnaflow 8x5 rear

I've just installed a JJ 3" dump and an X Force Hi Flo Cat with existing 3" Cat back to a muffler???? ann a Fujisturbo Cannon

Its quiet as, but it lets the 25 breathe. It may not be the best, but it suits me at this point in time.

Atm l've got a 3" system from turbo back. From cat back its and Apexi Megaboom exhaust.

Question:

If l change the muffler on it from the straight through 3" Apexi "megaboom" ... to a 2.25/4" (inlet/outlet) Magnaflow, can l expect much of a decrease in sound & performance?

Atm l'm getting 97db, but l want to get it under 90 for legal purposes as l don't wanna be swapping and changing exhausts again, but l don't want to loose much/if any when it comes to GO.

Something like this (should look ok with a DAYZ bodykit) and is a little more subtle than the massive apexi thing atm.

I just went from a 2.5" ghetto spec catback system with one resonator and no muffler to a 3" catback with no resonator and Autotechnica Cannon....

It's loud....make that very loud.

Is that headache LOUD? lol

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
