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

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
