A genuine Nismo or Fujitsubo Legalis is probably the quietest system available off the shelf... but will be very expensive with the exchange rate now... plus they're cat back so you need to source front pipes separately. My setup was: HKS bell dump pipes, Trust MX front pipes, catco hi-flow cats (BATMBL's), and Trust MX cat-back.

I had that Trust MX but it was still loud enough to get 1 EPA notice long time ago, even though it was still quieter than most other exhaust on the market. It was tested right on the 90db limit which is basically the loudest legal allowed, and I've been avoiding further notices since by putting an Apexi 4" tip silencer.

the way i did it was to buy a split dump front pipe / dump pipe combo in one ie; BATMBL split dump or CES or BOS Importing split dump

they are on the forums. then take this to your local exhaust shop and say fit this and then supply a highflow 3" cat back exhaust for this pipe and this car

then they can match what they have and fit your split dump / front pipe combo also.

this way you get a perfect mated 3" turbo back pipe setup and then a standard ish 3" cat back system

or you can get the japanese cat back systems but be pre-pared to pay $$ and then ship it around etc

If you don't want it loud, make sure you have the centre resonator as opposed to only straight pipe and relying on rear muffler only.

It does help a lot. Most system that is not too loud would have a resonator in the middle. And if you're going to get someone to do it locally make sure you do a bit of research that the workshop you're going to ask to do it with have done something like that before and know what they're doing. Not because the workshop themselves tell you they know what they're doing, cos obviously they want your business and then just move on afterwards.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
