N/A engines require back pressure to maintain low down torque and throttle response. you may not have issues seeing you are retaining the stock engine pipe and cat but it is a possibillity.

we actually reduced my exhaust down from 3" to 2,1/2" back to 3" behind the collectors to create back pressure.

how would i loose power??

Volumetric Efficiency. A 3" Catback will make more top-end power. A 2.5" catback will be the best balance between the low end and top end, and provide good driveability on the street.

Think of a straw. If the straws too small it won't take much to get the drink through the straw, but you'll be limiting the flow. Too big a straw and it takes more effort to fill the straw and get the drink through.

In the end it's going to come down to whether you want outright top end power, or more useable power.

I'm not sure what diameter the R33 GTSt exhaust is from factory, but remember that it's not going to be a high flow mandrel bend system with a straight through muffler. So you may well get a good balance of low-end and top-end with a GTSt exhaust. I myself really don't know though.

thanks for your help guys

but before i go and buy this exhaust i wanna see if it will bolt on first

its a apexi exhaust from the cat back

its from a series 2 r33 gtst and i want to put it on my series 1 gts n/a

any one done this before??

thanks

Oh so not a GTSt Stock Exhaust then... more than likely a 3" Mandrel Bend catback system. So unless you like revving it right out each gear, don't expect more performance in the bottom end, rather a loss of performance and an increase in top end. Too large an exhaust on an N/A will have a tendency to be quite loud as well.

yeh i relised that

but it will fit onto my n/a r33?

yes it will be a direct bolt on undoubtedly. Apexi make there exhaust system to be a direct bolt on and from the picture out of the mechanics book they are all the same fittings as r33 GTS's so no problems there.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
