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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
