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.

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.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
