i went to an exhaust shop today and said that i wanted a an exhaust which sounds more than the stock R33. the guy there said that he had a recent swap of a japanese one. and showed a JASMA stamped exhaust(just the exhaust from the cat- not the whole system) and said that its real good and blah blah. he said that its worth $800 and i may have to buy a resonator as well which will cost $150 more. i m a bit new to skylines(just bought mine last week) but i was thinking that i can atleast get a decent catback system for about $800-$1000. am i wrong or the exhausts that expensive? by the way that guy was telling i felt he was trying to rip me off. any help will be appreiciated.

haha yeah thats a bit expensive.

i made my whole exhaust myself, bought some exhaust pipe and some bends, cut and welded it all together. not hard at all if you have some time and patience. only cost a few hundred for the whole thing.

JASMA is a specification like the Oz Standards (IIRC it means its under 92 db or something). I got a 5zigen twin muffler catback for 150 on fleabay, flows fine like the old one (straight through steam pipe no cat) and its cop friendly (though I can see myself removing a muffler one day cause it's almost TOO quiet)

I'd get a jap made exhaust, they are really well made and fit perfectly.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
