I agree with you there, It does start to get a bit pricy, by the time you throw on HPC coating and then have to get them fitted.

But hey, at least it isnt as much as the turbo guys have to pay for a better manifold and dump pipe, and as you can see from my dyno graph, they did make a fairly nice increase and made the engine sound nicer.

If you are serious about getting more power out of your NA, you cant go past the exhaust system.

Plus you might as well do it first and have it sounding so nice while you drive around.

Just an update on my system,

I got a hot dog put on today, as even tho that car sounded bloody fantstic, it was a bit much all the time.

So now it still sounds fantastic, but I can also live with it as my daily.

it still needs all 6 cylinders to get a correct reading, on a skyline it isnt to costly but on the xr6 it wouldnt even idle correctly (like the afm was blocked) then moved O2 sensor and it was ok :P

dont worry i will have a dyno on here soon after i get money because the thing that rhymes with smishsmorson is happening on thrusday and ill have money 2 weeks after that that i can spend on that :P

  • 2 weeks later...

hey guys its the Hesh here. Yes we went ahead with the uk coby group buy. took ages as i had to go off for an unplanned 4 month holiday in saddams old back yard.

anyhoo toolman, myself and two others on so.com purchased the coby d12s. cost finally to us was 216gbp a set all done including vat and handling charge in the country so not at all bad.

i hope to fit mine tomorow. interesting to read some of the coments on here regarding exhaust size. i recently had a mate whos handy with a welder do a bit of an experiment. he took a 3inch system from a 32 gtr welded a tube in the middle section behind the cat 9mins a 334door so a tad longer) and stuck on a trust end can .......man that was LOUD...but car was flat as apancake..drove it round for week like that then went back and he made a 3inch to 2.5 reducer and we fitted a twin exit calsonic back box from the shop floor.

revs up much better! so with the cobys bolted up tomorow i am really looking forward to seeing how she does...

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
