Best place for an exhaust system

[snake]

Can anyone recomend an exhaust shop here in Adelaide? I was

leaning towards exhaust technology but anyones opinion will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you are out TTG way I would recomend (RevTech ??) in Ridgehaven. Bodie built a very nice custom stainless exhaust for me, and his prices are very good.

My mate refers all his customers to Exhaust Techniques. Apparently they do a great job and explain everything to you so you know exactly what they're doing and why.

I haven't used them, but when the time comes, I'll be going there

I got my exhaust done at Exhaust techniques. All i can say is im not happy with the quality of the welding done. They asked what i want done, I told the sales manager the muffler i wanted, and when i came back it was nothing like i said. If i had to do it again AAA near the city are the best ive heard.

[GFXman]

erm... bugger

hmm maybe I'll think twice about goin there

theres that discount exhausts or something near the corner of port road and south road .. had a couple of friends go there for their exhausts and from what they told me it was really cheap and they have been happy with their exhausts ...

I would go and see Marky down at Exhaust Technology.. He is a bit of a master when it comes to good looking / sounding exhaust systems..

I had a few done there on my last couple of cars.. (180sx/R-33/200sx)....

I had my s/steel exhaust done at D&T Performance.

I'm happy with the note and loudness of the exhaust all though it is slightly louder than an average Jap exhaust.

No droning.

One thing I wasn't that happy with was the finish of the weld where the turbo flange welds up to the pipe. There is also a slight raise in the shape of a V in front of the compressor wheel due to the way they bent the pipe to mate up.

Buy good quality Jap stuff - just cant go wrong and if you change your mind you have resale value:)

Quite reasonably priced second hand, is modular so you dont have to go back to the same exhaust shop or get custom work if you want to change something.

[snake]

how do the jap exhausts compare in the way of noise, arent they a bit on the loud side or am i mistaken.

[Steve]

depends on the one you buy. I originally fitted a stainless N1 cat back - very loud as it only has a small rear muffler - but good power.

Changed to a Nismo dual muffler, which is very quiet, but a little less power (noise and back pressure are somewhat related). fujitsubo is another that make very good, quiet exhausts, but they still bark when you get angry, they just dont wake the dead:) There are several others that will do the same.

Generally, if it has dual mufflers ( and i am not talking about a skinny little claytons muffler ) they will be quite reasonable.

Interesting too, that I got nearly all my money back on the N1 exhaust, a good condition jap made exhaust will hold its value very well.

[Steve]

And neither of mine had an annoying drone, just a nice note:)

this place is probably unheard of to most, but i got my exhaust system done at Gepps Cross Exhaust on Main North Road. They do a good job for an affordable price

I got mine done at AAA exhaust. They have a mandrel bending machine on site so that means they dont have to sit there and weld up prebent pipes.

I got mine done full SS turbo back for 1100 from them. Top quality work, not a weld insight, wouldnt think about going anywhere else frankly.

You sound pretty happy with AAA, do you think they would do a split dumpipe aswell?, best way is to ring and ask them i suppose. Price sounds cheap, especially when most places are looking at close to the 1700 mark for a full stainless system. What kind of muffler did you get put on?, the usuall barrel style muffler?

[Busky2k]

Yeah Im pretty happy with them! Whats funny is they supply the mandrel bends to places like ET and D&T.

I got a cannon style rear muffler, Super Cat brand.. Its good enough. Fully polished S/S. I didnt see the point paying another 300 for an Apexi one. Also the price included a S/S 3" mid muffer aswell. (Proper one, not a resonator!)

The dump pipe I have is just a plain ol 3" one. It was $400 but I think what you can do Is buy a FLYN split dump or something like that, bring it in, and get them to make up the rest from there.

They really did some top quality work. I went to them after I saw a friends S13 with the same exhaust on his car. ld recommend them to anyone.....

[snake]

AAA quoted me 1400, not to bad, especially when compared to exhaust technologys 1600 for a mild steel one, D&T would do me a stainless one for 1650.

Busky,

How's the noise on your exhaust? Is it really loud? I'm looking for one that produces "legal" sound (below 90 DBs). Would yours do the trick???

And did your price include supply of the 3" front and dump pipe??

[Busky2k]

Well I cant quantitate the noise really. But all I know is that i've compared it to a few other SR20s w/o a center muffler and mines alot quieter. Whether its legal or not, I dont know. Its still probably not. Since when is any 3" free flowing exhaust fully legal? haha

And yes, it included the dump/front pipe too.

[shannon]

if you havent got anything sorted yet, give everlast mufflers a call, daryl is upfront / honest and they do top notch work.

worth a shot anyway bud
