Flutes on drift cars, cannons for track and street cars.

Ryan

This man speaketh the truth!

Anything's gotta be better than the vacuum cleaner on there now. Concentrate on getting it to flow well before worrying about what it looks like :(

Hahaha so true, Chef. It's gradually getting worse, too!! I don't think I have anything left inside the cat as it's all burnt up!

And the rattling is gradually getting worse!

Collapsed centre muffler + centre baffle + dodgy cat = :D

Booking it in to get a full turbo-back system in early December!

I personally think cannons look best on the 32 GT-Rs aslong as they arent too big or ricey.

Dump pipes (if you mean the muffler with the downturned tip) look phat aswell..., thats the plan for my DR when im back from China next year ;)

flutes are nice, but bit overdone these days, for the track i run just a single 3" pipe out the back, looks great. only reason i still run the flutes are that they have the JunBL muffler with them and i cant really be f**ked changing the tips.

Dragging up an old thread, was wondering if anyone knew of an exhaust shop which could knock me up some flutes? I've been looking everywhere, and the local Carline reckons he couldn't be able to make something with a 3" flange diverging into flutes.

I'm surprised at a lot of the responses ITT, I think that single cannons are overdone and boring, Super Drager type gas bottles are only good for getting a RWC and normal mufflers with tips just don't suit. I do however like the twin catback / cannon thing, I imagine it would be the most expensive exhaust option though.

I've only seen one car with flutes around here and I reckon they look awesome on JDM cars, not neccessarily just drift cops! I've attached a pic of my current straight pipe exhaust, was thinking of putting them on at the last flange.

lol why people are still voting i dont know...

But this is in the SA section, so unless your willing to travel, we wont have any half decent ideas :D

AM Performance, Exhaust Technology, Everlast, etc etc etc

well a mate has very similar ones on his HR-31 and they look great on it, only problem is trying to convince him to lend them to me for fear that I wouldn't give them back lol.

I've emailed Exhaust Technologies about the flutes though, otherwise I'd probably go twin 2.5" on an angle, cause straight pipe looks shite!

yeh mark @ et does nice work, mate just had twin 3" pipes put in his by them, look and sound great!

im getting twin 3.5" pipes soonish too... love the look and sound!

i am so thinking of going the flutes now on the line

I had never even seen flutes until today :S i havnt seen 1 at all on the road... screw getting a cannon now

That first pic is a bit excessive of a flute lol

I'll be in the market for an exhaust aswell soon... looking at something twin tip/flute - looks more subtle and clean.. cannons are a wee bit overdone/homo - too many homo cars have them - lancers, excels, shitboxes... etc

haha my shitbox has 1...its louder than my skyline rofl

i am so thinking of going the flutes now on the line

do it!

group buy? :(

haha, hope you don't have a problem with lots of attention though as they are LOUD!! unless you have them coming out of a muffler or have a damper in there somewhere, something similar to x-force varex mufflers.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
