installing is easy just jack it up and get under it, undo all the bolts you can find then line up the new system and do up all the bolts you can find haha

C.E.S very expensive for what they do.

I went to Rob Bliss for the same job at half the price.

I know what you mean

Trust is a bit of a rip off for turbos as well

so I went to ebay, and got myself turbo, manifold and wastegate for half the price

:blush: That made me laugh!!!!

Yep I've got a CES system, pricey but performs beyond belief, and best of all legal dB

I'm glad I went there, a friend with an R34 tried to do it for cheaper and got all the parts from CES had someone else fit and weld it up and ended in disaster....the car actually ended up going to CES to have them fix up what had been done and tune the length of the exhaust to remove all of the excessive drone.

It's not just a matter of custom welding a bunch of pipes together, there's a lot more on the technical side to getting flow and low noise.

A turbo and an exhaust is a bit different.

Its only my opinion on the decision i made at the time.

Not everyone has to spend thousands of dollars on an exhaust for a daily street car.

Sorry to hijack thread, but I thought it best to post here than start a new one.

I'm getting my exhaust done next week as part of my turbo conversion.

At the moment I'm looking at getting the exhaust done at Right Price Exhaust since it's just down the street from Hi-Power Racing who are doing the conversion.

So far I've heard good things about Right Price, but I just want a second opinion before I go ahead with getting them to do it.

I've been advised that the turbo and JJR front/dump and cat will have to be fitted first and then the exhaust done so to make sure everything fits up right, and as such right price being close by is a logical choice as far as that goes. Is it worth looking at other options?

I've got the JJR Front/Dump pipe, just the cat converter and catback is what I'll need, so won't need a complete turboback made up.

Been quoted $510 for a 3" mandrel bent system with resonator and canon tip, or $590 for the same but with a oval barrel twin tip. Reaonable? Excessive?

Thanks for the tip Dan, I'll take your word for it and go with Right Price, particularly since they've done it before. Didn't you get 2.75" though back then? Should I stick with 3" all the way? Still figuring out whether to go oval barrel twin tip, or a standard canon.

The original exhaust on the other car was all from an R33 and modified to fit, had a funny 30cm hump near the firewall to clear everything...think it was about 2.75" with a round tip.

Yeah get 3" I've currently got a twin tip, it looks stock :)

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
