In all honesty man.. Its not going to make a huge diffrence in any aspect.

Sound will be the biggest diffrence and even that you can control with what pipeing you want to get.

My tip?.. DO NOT BUY X-FORCE!..

And have a look at second hand bits.. They are almost half the price.. and can pick up a brand name product for quite cheap..

Autobarn products are not fantastic. They are a designed as a "one product fits all".. and usually sound like a fat man farting in an epty can of beans.

you can get a cat-back exhaust custom made, mild steel with stainless steel cannon for 700, or less. They would be better quality than Autobarn products, and sound ALOT better, so +1 with what Cris says.

and whatever you do get it done by a certified place. so you can get a sound test at the same time and then they can do the neccesary modifications if its too loud. i just got done today for mine...not sure if itl pass as legal (heres hoping)

+1.. if your close.. Have a look at Castle Hill Exhaust.. top blokes..

Is NSW 90dB?

I disagree with you there, when I changed out my muffler (still on stock piping for now) I noticed that the car revved a lot easier than it did with the stock setup.

But would you call it a huge diffrence? Its not a completely different car, is it?

I completely agree with you that there will be changes in the way the engine revs.. of course.. or else there wouldnt be a point in change the exhaust system..

But the "noise" factor is alot more noticable than the torque/responce..

And forget about getting much of a power gain with an off the shelf Autobarn product.. thats what I mean..

Even if a second hand brand name product is about $400 odd dollars.. its money well spent.. you dont wanna be one of those tools whos car sounds like its an asthamatic..

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
