Are you kidding?

Its not like you even had to look too far.. there are currently 3 or 4 exhaust threads.. all 4 of them with the answer..

2.5 inch is good for responce

3 inch is good for top end

What to buy in terms of product.. anything will do - just not a generic "one items for all cars" product.

Where to get? Forums is good place for cheap brand name products.. Ebay for BRAND name items (not supershit items). Internet web sites.. but these can be grossley over priced.

Cat back wont give you too much of anything though.. just a little more poke.. not much.. and a completely different sound.

Buying second hand will always be cheaper.

Dont buy supercheap products.. it will sound like a fat man fatring in a can

And next time search..

  • 4 weeks later...

I've seen this on eBay...though I haven't been able to find much on Rapid Auto Parts in a google search.

They "appear" to be a quality built cat back, I have no idea about what the mufflers on them are like though. If anyone here has had experience with them I'd be keen to hear it.

As above, its only really going to change the note. You need a full system to really change drivability. Remember your na relies on a certain amount of backpressure (unlike turbo), and can only flow as fast as the smallest restriction cat forward. There might be slight improvements from the scavanging effect caused by the pressure drop over the two sized pipes (cat providing the baffle/smooth transition of exhaust flow) but a full tuned system always has a much better effectiveness/efficiency at scavaging or pulling power from the motor. Save a little more and get a full system, you'll also save on labour in the long run.

Anyway you'll have to do a bit of searching to find what your looking for because the improvements are so small and hard to judge on a n/a catback system

On an N/a skyline i wouldnt go above full 2.5" and that will support all future mods albeit turbo coversion. Might find mid range drop off and top end increase without (torque move up rpm) them though. Only bother if you intend to

^ yeah i was going to get 2.5" as the stock system is too quiet but i realised its a waste of $$ as im going turbo early next year so i might just stick with this for now.

2.5" wont gain much over stock...

might just put a cannon on for sme sound lol

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
