Hey all,

Basically I have $300 lying around and am searching for a new exhaust system. I want it louder then my stock R32GTSone I have now, but not too loud and shitty like many commodores in my town. After searching around on here for a while, I have come across this Here. I'm just wondering if this would bolt straight on my car without any hassles, as I am not to technically minded as of yet.

Thanks :P

Dead link...

$300 isn't much... Do you intend to turbo it in the future? Just a straight through 2.5" pipe with mandrel bends will nearly set you back that much, add 2 mufflers and a high flow cat and you've at least doubled that... Then theres what quality you want... On my twin cam, i have a huge resonator, and a magnaflow mandrel center offset stainless rear muffler, that sounds tops imo the same system in 2.5" with a cat would give a great sound. My system cost me $550 through a local exhaust shop (mates rates though) and is 3" Mandrel, with no cat, plus i had it flanged and welded to modified (from R33 to R31) tuned length fujitsumoto extractors. I'd say ~ $700minimum if you want to include a high flow cat...

But I'm speaking for it you want a decent system, otherwise for cheap mufflers and a press bent 2.5" it'd probably set you back $250... Also if you bought a stock turbo exhaust you could save a bit...

Cheers

Well basically I'm pretty keen on getting that system provided in the link. It's just that I'm going to sell my car probably beginning of next year and don't want to spend much on the car beforehand. So it's basically just a question of if that exhaust will fit my car and will i need anything else to help it fit?

Thanks for the imput

To answer your question, Yes it will fit but it's going to be pretty loud 3" cat back to suit a turbo prob not the best option, the muffling will be pretty got being a name brand muffler but i don't think it'll be suited to the non-turbo very well. you'd prob need to have a resonator welded it for it to be not about 100db's. 3" is also prob a bit big in a non-turbo best to try find a 2.5 1/2 system, have a search in the na section theres a lot of info on the best suited zorsts for na skylines, wouldn't want you to loose any torque or anything.

well $300 will get u a cannon of u r lucky and thats not including getting it installed...........

i would honestly save your pennies and buy and decent one.......mine cost me $900 for a Trust 3" Stainless Steel Catback Exhaust. I would defintly say it was worth buying it and i wouldnt change my mind, and i know its gonna last for a long time :ermm:

oh yeah and with my 3" i dont have the mandatory naturally aspirated fart sound either.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
