Recommend Me An Exhaust

[MSTRshenanigans]

Hey guys

So the time has come to buy a new exhaust... and all the posts in this forum on the topic are ancient.

So far my mods include: pod + case, SAFC, FMIC, waiting on a r32 actuator...

Looking at a new exhaust so I can get the computer, actuator and exhaust installed in one go and tuned at the same time...

What should I be looking for? Can anyone recommend a specific one? Anyone know of a good place in Brisbane or Toowoomba?

I'm looking for power with value for money - NOT NOISE. If I have to get a plug for noise I will though...

Looking to spend at most $900.

id get a custom mandrel bent 3" or 3.5" item from the turbo back with little to no flanges if possible. In stainless steel ofcourse

or

What kinda exhaust, starting from the turbo back, or from the cat back?

[MSTRshenanigans]

Soz turbo back, pref 3inch

Best value for money, I would probably say.

Dump/front pipe: JJR 3" bellmouth dump/front pipe (mild $179 or stainless steel $199) - http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...=276&page=1 or http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...=276&page=1

Cat converter: Catco 3" hiflow cat $175 - http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...=275&page=1

Catback: head to a bunch of different wreckers, im not sure how much 2nd hand catbacks from jap wreckers cost, but I think they are the way to go as nothing beats the sound of a genuine jap catback (apexi, hks etc). JJR/X-Force catbacks start from about $600, I think noise wise and cost wise to go with a 2nd hander.

XForce do make a complete turboback for the R33 GTS-T, but have no idea what it costs (nor sounds like): http://www.xforce.com.au/cars/view_car/3

edit: $1450 it seems on the UAS website

Kakimoto are the best sounding 'legal' exhausts IMO

I have a kakimoto cat-back, sounds really good. Nice RB burble with no drone at all.

Be interesting to see if engine note changes when I fit stainless dump and high-flow cat.
